For years now WWE have dominated the wrestling gaming market, with only the Fire Pro series putting out a mainstream offering to rival them in the last decade or more. In fact, not since TNA Impact in 2008 has a rival promotion launched a console game, and the less said about that the better given its pallid reception. But then in November of 2020 All Elite Wrestling announced they would be dipping their toes into the market, and just two and a half short years later we got AEW: Fight Forever.

What’s more baffling though is that AEW: Fight Forever looks like it could become a genuine contender in the future, with a supposed leak revealing that there’ll be a battle royale mode inspired by the real life Stadium Stampede match, which could be an absolute treat for someone who loved Rumbleverse before its untimely demise. None of that was part of the review build though, so it doesn’t matter. We can only review what we play.

Buy Premium Box » Featuring a deep career mode, a plethora of match types (from Ladder Matches to Exploding Barbed Wire Death Matches), online co-op and in-depth customization options, AEW: Fight Forever is looking to bring a nostalgic style of arcade wrestling gameplay to console for the first time.

It’s likely that this Stadium Stampede mode is going to be shadow-dropped when the game launches, or it’ll be part of a “Season One” of content coming in the future, but it’s a shame because a mode like that could have done wonders for AEW: Fight Forever when reviewing it. The creativity and novelty of it alone would’ve been enough to make AEW: Fight Forever a curiosity recommendation, if nothing else.

Where To Buy

WWE’s recent mainline offerings have become simulations, where players can put on well-paced bouts that wouldn’t look out of place on TV. But wrestling games didn’t used to be that way, in fact during their heyday they were far more ridiculous… but in a good way. AEW is a bit thin on the ground when it comes to creation options. Players can create wrestlers, teams and arenas. Can’t wait to see how big the roster is, hopefully they include some NJPW stars too. Take advantage of the forbidden door.

What is here is OK, but it does feel a little bit… sparse, and the absence of a belt creator in 2023 is unforgivable. Thesr guys were certified gold for WWE by they decided to focus on other Superstars they should have never focused on such as THE SHIELD ......these guys were way too much and too soon when they had other Superstars to pusha b c Stewart, Marcus (June 28, 2023).

There are also some pretty bold choices when it comes to controls, too. Certain wrestlers have skills that change up the way they fight, allowing them to do things others aren’t able to.If players go into the settings and change the effects to ‘Historic’, the explosions become far more underwhelming, just as they were in the 2021 match between Kenny Omega and John Moxley. The first AEW game builds on the wrestling game formula of classics like No Mercy on N64 and Virtual Pro Wrestling on PlayStation, with developers Yuke's mixing nostalgic arcade action with the innovative stars of All Elite Wrestling. On the whole, AEW: Fight Forever’s gameplay accomplishes the brief of being an old school grappler, with fast gameplay that promotes strike combos mixed with grappling. There’s also counters, reversals and a lot more, ensuring that the gameplay remains dynamic. It’s not revolutionary, of course, as it follows the same wrestling game staple of “build momentum, hit finisher, win”, but there’s some interesting nuances that keep things somewhat interesting.
