WrestleQuest does get the aesthetic down excellently, but the combat is fairly slow at times, as is the movement speed. Dungeons can be a slog with how many enemies there are and how large they are. The story does cut away from a group entirely too often, which drags the game down a bit.

Despite that, when the game nails what it's trying to do with its inspiration, it does it mostly well. But it comes at the cost of a very slow and disjointed narrative.

One thing that should have been taught a little better was what hype offers in terms of combat benefits. We get a short explainer, and no info in the Wrestlepedia.

There are also an extensive number of bugs plaguing this game, such as slowdown, incorrect information on menu screens, and in two cases in a short period of time, equipment just vanishing off of one of my characters. The game needs way more fixes than it's received.

In addition, there are several unnecessary required mini-games that really slow down the action and control poorly.
