❤ Accessible Yet Deep Gameplay

Reviewers praise the game's accessibility combined with its depth. The controls are relatively simple, with light, medium, and heavy attacks mapped to different button presses. However, mastering the grappling timing system takes practice and skill. One reviewer notes that while the game may initially feel challenging, once they learned the mechanics, the gameplay became very rewarding and satisfying.

❤ Momentum and Second Wind Mechanics

A key part of the gameplay is the momentum meter, which fills up as players land attacks and perform taunts. Higher momentum allows access to more powerful moves and finishers. Additionally, the "Second Wind" mechanic gives players a chance to randomly kick out of pins and submissions when they are near defeat, adding an element of unpredictability.

The over-the-top character designs and animations add to the game's arcade charm. Reviewers highlight the strong presentation values, from the entrance music and ring announcements to the reactive crowd chants.

❤ Learning Curve and Difficulty

Several reviewers note that the game has a steep learning curve, especially for players unfamiliar with timing-based grappling systems.
