I may have class Thursday mornings, preventing me from attending VGOCC, but you know what I do have time for? Silly video games.
The WWE has a weird relationship with video games. WWE games range from the great (All-Stars) to garbage (2k14). However, the best moments of the franchise’s traversals into video games tend to be the most ridiculous, like All-Stars’s superhuman wrestlers, and the amazing player-created stories in 2k13 (YouTube “Ghost Problems” or “Time Rock” to witness the glory of those stories). That, however, is not our focus today.
Our focus today is a mobile fighting game called “WWE Immortals”. Do you not like the WWE? Neither do I. Who cares. Because this game is stupid.
Using the basic systems of the Injustice Mobile Game (Netherrealm actually developed this game), WWE Immortals asks the important question we’ve all been wondering: What if pro wrestlers discovered an ancient artifact that allowed them to explore the multiverse, discovering alternate timelines in which they were a variety of mythical heroes?
That is actually the premise of the fucking game.
Wrestlers are demons! Superheroes! Centurions! Necromancers! Soldiers! Lumberjacks! Dudes….in jeans! Yeah? The gameplay is good, not great, but this is a game for two people: WWE fans, and people who like ridiculous shit. The Rock is a literal rock golem, and there’s a power up card which features said rock golem cooking. 10/10 A+

It’s free on the App Store, riddled with microtransactions as well, but who cares, because look at that screenshot.
