AEW Fight Forever game for Nintendo Switch / Xbox / PS4 / PS5 - £38.49 delivered (£36.57 using code) @ Monster-Shop

Given wrestling games history on the Switch might be worth waiting to see how the performance is first... (edited)

I think the main dish is looking like a helping of Day of Reckoning with a side portion of No Mercy. I don't have an issue with that, but I think the AKI game purists might have an issue.

If you want pure No Mercy/Revenge/VPW then keep an eye on Ultra Pro Wrestling, due out in 2024.

Has the code now expired?

Thanks Monster. Arrived on release date. Good price too. I'd say Monster Shop is ALL ELITE.

Got mine today and initial thoughts are

- performance on Switch feels sluggish ! Maybe it’s just me on that but everything is sluggish except (somehow) if you play a match it’s fine - although not sure if my lack of counters is me being slow or some lag

- I knew entrances were short but was not prepared for how short! Seems a bit silly to have the customisable pyro and camera angles as by the time you do anything the entrance is finished!

- gameplay is a lot of fun, need to play more but it feels really back and forth right now and really refreshing vs the well ingrained 2k style. The description of easy to play and difficult to master is honestly perfect. I can win a match with Kenny Omega but to do all his signature stuff and in the right order is a skill

Looking forward to playing more

Looking forward to finally playing AEW No Mercy

Mine was dispatched today and with the battle royal mode for stadium stampede supposed to be added later on looks a good game

I get why people will enjoy the "no mercy" style game and AEW fans will of course more likely to love it. However my gripe is this, it's living in the past just like the AEW brand. No Mercy was a game over 20 years old. Time has moved on and gamers are looking for more than just gameplay aspect. What was good 20 years ago doesn't mean it's good today. Just like AEW bringing in old WWE guys, that's not the answer, build your own brand, build your own game and try to make your own stamp in the business.

For me, the graphics alone look puts me off and it will be the case for many others too. Of course it will be loved by a niche audience just like AEW has a niche audience. AEW focuses on matches, whilst the average fan or new watcher really doesn't care about the quality of the match, they are there for something to be hooked on (a story) or a character which appeals to a mass audience (doesn't exist in AEW). Here they focus on the gameplay, average gamers or non wrestling fans seeing the graphics are just going to pass.

Good luck to those buying, I have no clue whether it's a good or bad game so don't let what I say put you off but it's disappointing for me they have just catered to a niche audience again, this game could have been big and they didn't capitalise. That's the story of AEW. (edited)

Anyone ever shopped with these before? What they like with pre-orders?

Who’s the guy at the bottom in the middle? Not watched AEW for a while

Pre ordered PS5 version and had an email from hit today saying they didn't get stock so it won't come on release day tomorrow. Cancelled.
