Wrestling and video game enthusiasts alike have reason to celebrate, as Tic Toc Games has announced the world premiere of their upcoming turn-based RPG wrestling adventure, Wrestle Story. The announcement was made at the Future Games Show, and the game is set to launch on Windows PC and Mac via Steam.

Wrestle Story is an epic pro wrestling adventure that features hard-hitting turn-based RPG combat. The game is set in the world of the Five Territories, where the player takes on the role of a fearless underdog attempting to topple a corrupt network that seeks to control the sport they love. With victory and glory just over the horizon, the player must turn the tables on each of the so-called "champs" by unleashing brutal timed-based attacks and flashy finishers, ensuring a clean win to make crowds go wild.

The game's combat system features turn-based RPG mechanics, where players must use strategy and timing to unleash powerful moves on their opponents. The game's finishers are especially satisfying, as players can execute them with flashy animations that make the crowds go wild. The game also allows players to recruit allies on the path to greatness and nurture strong bonds to create an unstoppable force. Each member can be customized and leveled up with specialty gear, perks, abilities, entrance music, and more to exploit weaknesses and overwhelm scheming minions with a destructive tag team blitz.

Players can create and deck out their own wrestler with cool tattoos, slick hairdos, and more to impact the wrestling world their way. The game's deep narrative takes players across the globe, allowing them to master diverse styles from king's road to lucha libre, all to make enemy wrestlers shamefully fall to their knees. The game also features increasingly powerful moves and stat-boosting upgrades, making it important to stay on top as the enemy stables get tougher.

"As a lifelong wrestling fan and gamer, I always wanted to make a wrestling game that lived up to the emotional heights of an amazing pro-wrestling storyline," said Steve Jimenez, lead developer at Tic Toc Games. "We looked to the epic JRPGs we grew up playing and saw a ton of amazing parallels with wrestling; the over-the-top characters, the fully realized fantasy world, the huge finishing moves. After that, things just started to fall into place in the best way."

Wrestle Story offers a unique blend of wrestling and RPG gameplay that is sure to appeal to fans of both genres. The game's immersive story, customizable characters, and strategic combat are sure to keep players engaged for hours on end. With the game set to launch on Windows PC and Mac via Steam, it's only a matter of time before players can step into the ring and become the ultimate wrestling champion.
