It started as an experiment in learning to make games that could better stand on their own without relying on narrative dressing.” It’s all tightly designed mechanics, all multiplayer, fully supports online play, and all endlessly replayable. “Wrestledunk Sports came from leaning hard into my weaknesses, to make something that was great in all the ways that Hacknet wasn’t. “Following up from the success that I found in Hacknet, I wanted my games in the future to be much more mechanically rich,” Trobbiani wrote on the new game’s website.

#WRESTLEDUNK SPORTS REVIEW SERIES#
I suspect this will be the most popular mode for many players.Īesthetically Wrestledunk Sports looks a lot like something from a Cartoon Network series - most notably Foster’s Home For Imaginary Friends (if that’s even a thing people remember). I spent a majority of my time playing wrestling, given the more action-oriented gameplay and the compulsion for smacktalk.

Fencing and volleyball play as you’d expect, whereas smashball suspends players in zero-G and acting as Pong paddles to smash the ball into the opposing’ zone. Wrestledunk Sports is slated for a 2020 release on Nintendo Switch, with further console announcements to follow when possible. Wrestling has you trying to “crunchslam” your opponents by belly-flopping onto them and smushing them. On that note, I absolutely adore the charming graphics and unique character designs on display and can certainly see me spending a lot of time duking it out with friends. Wrestledunk Sports felt great, slick and responsive, which is a requirement for such a competitive game. In the time I spent demoing the game along with fellow Vooks contributor Chris, I had a lot of fun with its zany, brightly-coloured cartoon splendour.
