I know, I know…this is a small independent developer trying to refocus wrestling to the action on the mat, all while working without a license. Some slack should be cut, right? ...And so, I can’t really recommend 5 Star Wrestling to anyone. The actual wrestling isn’t good. There’s very limited long-term value, especially when factoring in the cost and even the parody element, which has great potential, is extremely shallow. 5 Star Wrestling is anything but 5 Stars.

About

Critic reviews
- 3.0While we appreciate that there's only so much that can be done to a tried and tested formula, 5 Star Wrestling has stripped out so many of the components that we've come to expect as a standard from wrestling games that the gameplay would have to be near enough perfect to justify its existence. As it stands, without any online functionality, no creation suite, a litigious gaggle of performers, and dodgy mechanics, this game is all but impossible to recommend to anyone.
- There is some real potential for a great wrestling game here, 5 Star just needs to work on its showmanship so it’s as exemplary as its in-ring ability. ...5 Star Wrestling delivers a clever and refreshing take on the genre in the ring, but is massively hampered by its mountain of drawbacks and flaws outside of it. Fight your way through that and there’s a satisfying depiction of how wrestling works waiting to be discovered.
