Spike Chunsoft have introduced Killer7 director Goichi Suda (aka Suda 51) will likely be returning to an outdated hang-out to pen new story DLC for wrestleman sim Fire Pro Wrestling World. I’m not usually a lot for wrestling games, however even I can admire this collection, previously by Human Entertainment. Snappy motion, highly effective character creation and a historical past of surprisingly heavy story modes. I’m anticipating nice, presumably unsettling issues from new DLC ‘The Vanishing’, after the completely bleak ending of Fire Pro Wrestling Special for the SNES, which I WILL SPOIL BELOW.
Suda’s earliest work was a pair of SNES Fire Pro games, first as director after which as situation author for Super Fire Pro Wrestling Special. That situation advised the story of a fictional participant character in a world of real-world wrestlers with altered names. As the game performs out, you climate some powerful defeats alongside the best way to the highest. Worse nonetheless, your coach dies in suspicious circumstances, and also you even find yourself unintentionally killing your finest buddy within the ring. And you then meet reigning champ Ric Flair (Dick Slender on this game to keep away from angering legal professionals) and it will get worse.
Ric Flair is supposed to be a fairly low-down soiled type on this planet of actual wrestling, however he’s positively demonic right here. He brutally murders your tag-team companion, blood in every single place. Taunting you additional, he confesses to murdering your coach. Just so as to add completely soul-crushing insult to harm, your girlfriend leaves you throughout your climactic remaining match in opposition to the wrestlefiend. In the tip you change into world champion, however at what price? The story mode ends along with your character sinking into melancholy, a nonetheless picture of their suburban house… after which a gunshot rings out – reduce to black.
And now he’s again on the Fire Pro author’s desk. Understandably, followers are nervously excited. Could this be the soul-crushing counterpart to the feelgood tag-team of Kenny Omega and Undertale creator Toby Fox? I hope to take a deep dive off the highest rope at this one when it’s launched. In the meantime, Fire Pro Wrestling World is out now on Steam for £23.79/€27.99/$30.
