While, most of these classifications are spot on, like Finn Balor being a high flyer or Stone Cold being a brawler, there are some laughable ones like Nikki Bella being a Technician. Lastly, we have the All Arounders, which have some attributes taken from all the other character types. Technicians specialize in grappling and have a higher chance of getting a tap-out win. Powerhouses have heavy strikes and can throw around their opponents with ease. High flyers pull off crazy over the top moves from the ropes. First, the aforementioned brawlers, do heavy damage with strike combos. Speaking of Brawlers, each wrestler is classified into one of five character classes. Hitting the diving clothesline and Sister Abigail with The Fiend, Bray Wyatt is satisfying, but his other set of moves are disappointingly similar to other brawler type characters. Each Wrestler has unique signature moves and finishers and that’s basically it. Most of them throw strike combos the same way, have the same grapple moves, and are generally the same character, with only a few exceptions. Unlike wrestling simulation games, WWE 2K Battlegrounds’ roster of characters has very limited moves in their arsenal. This makes the game easily accessible to anyone who wishes to lace up their boots for some wrestling action, but all that simplicity comes with its own set of downsides. Square to punch, Triangle to kick, Circle to Irish Whip, X to grapple, R1 to block, and R2 to run. Fortunately, WWE 2K battlegrounds’ controls are so simple, they can easily fit this paragraph. For an already full-priced game, you would expect more than a handful of characters to already be unlocked, but sadly wrasslin fans, that’s not the case here.Ĭontrols for a party game should be simple and easy for anyone to pick up.
The only way to get them out is to grind for virtual currency or like real-life action figures, you can pay for them with real cash. Well, they’re in WWE 2K Battlegrounds’ roster, but you gotta rescue them from the action figure type boxes they’re trapped in. Legends like them have already made tons of appearances in countless wrestling games over the decade, which ultimately led me to ask, Where the heck are the new bloods? Yes, you can play as The Immortal Undertaker, Stone Cold Steve Austin, and The Rock, but to me, they’re all just nostalgic callbacks from an era that’s passed. Unfortunately, WWE 2K Battlegrounds starts with letting you play with only a handful of Fan Favorites.

It is a fun party game, but the fun doesn’t quite stay with you after the party.Īs a professional wrestling fan myself, I was hyped to play as one of my favorite wrestlers of the current generation. While it does succeed in delivering gravity-defying action, it botches up the landing with its shallow combat and its overabundance of microtransactions. The world of professional wrestling isn’t bound by reality or even the laws of gravity, which is why WWE 2K Battlegrounds sets the perfect stage for WWE’s roster of larger-than-life characters to Duke it out.
