As part of Spike Chunsoft's 40th anniversary celebrations, the critically acclaimed Fire Pro Wrestling World is on deep discount. You can grab the title at 80% off till January 30.
The cult favorite wrestling sim has been around since 1989. It has earned itself a cult following for its unique grappling system and deep customization options.
The grappling system relies on precise timing-based inputs and encourages strategy. The game wants you to carefully read and react to your opponent and execute moves with strict timings. The system also allows for smooth transitions from one move to the next, encouraging players to maintain a chain of aggressive or defensive maneuvers to gain momentum.
The game also has a deep customization system with a detailed character creator that lets you tinker with appearance, attributes, move sets, even individual personalities, allowing for different playstyles. There are a variety of game modes here as well, including "Deathmatch (steel cage, barbed wire or landmines), no-holds barred Gruesome Fighting, and SWA homebrew rules that mix pro wrestling and MMA."
