Keep in mind, put on a bad show and your sales will do bad leading to no one attending your future events. Your company will even be approached to do joint shows with another company where you pit your championships against theirs and see who takes the gold to their brand! You can either watch, simulate or even play every match to try and put on your best show. You have to find ways to manage your finances with your worker’s well-being and sponsorship opportunities to maximize profit each month. You can hire, sign, send away or even scout for superstars on this journey. In this mode, you take the booker role and create the shows for your own events with either an original in-game world, or a real life world that you can customize.
This creativity and customizability flows over into the well-made Fire Promoter mode, also known as their version of a GM Mode. I suggest making sure you have a lot of time put away for this game mode because it is a long story with a lot of rematches on your way, so be patient. You meet and interact with many different NJPW stars and learn from them as you go on excursions and train your superstar to become the top worker in the industry. The fun doesn’t stop with the roster, it extends out to the story mode where you battle your way through the ranks of New Japan Pro Wrestling, going from a hopeful trainee learning the ropes to the top of the card. Do you want Okada to fight Gumby and Ryu from Street Fighter with Stan Lee as your referee in a Deathmatch taking place on a Mortal Kombat style ring?…YOU CAN DO IT! GAMEPLAY Even on the first day they were flooding with almost any creation that you can think of.
All of these diverse roster options with an endless supply of people to download online that grows to thousands and thousands every single day. They also went to the effort of launching two additional Takayama Charity DLCs to help pay for his medical expenses. Spike’s developers gave us Joshi wrestlers for the first time in many years bringing in the wonderful women of Stardom. Once you thought that was it, they threw another one at you. They added onto that with a Juniors DLC with people like Jushin Liger and Will Ospreay to name two.
That was until they released their first DLC with the top superstars of Japan from Kenny Omega, to Tetsuya Naito, to Kota Ibushi, to Hiroshi Tanahashi and the list goes on and on.
You were able to immediately download people on their online service for free to flesh out your roster. Starting with the roster, I owned this game from day one, so we only had a default roster of the fictional SWA in-game. Let’s dive into this game that many, many wrestling fans rave about! ROSTER
Fire Pro Wrestling World is a culmination of all of its previous titles, highlighting all of its wonderful quirks and mechanics while improving on every aspect of this game at the same time. This is the most recent title in a long history of Fire Pro Wrestling video games, starting in 1989 with Fire Pro Wrestling Combination Tag for the PC. That is where Fire Pro Wrestling enters the chat.įire Pro Wrestling World is a simulation-based 2D HD wrestling title based out of Japan created by SPIKE Chunsoft. For example, working with your opponent to put on a great match or helping each other look good in a match has never been a focus of major titles.
They came close with WWE 2K19, but have not been able to obtain that true professional wrestling mentality to putting on matches. Simulation titles are still something that they have yet to fully nail down perfectly. Wrestling games in North America have captured the arcade-style, over-the-top approach of professional wrestling really well.
