WWE 2K Battlegrounds is an arcade-style wrestling game released in 2020 by 2K, serving as a spin-off from the main WWE 2K simulation series. It was developed by Saber Interactive and is available for Xbox One. The game features an exaggerated, cartoony art style and over-the-top, fast-paced action.
Gameplay and features
- Arcade-style action: The gameplay is simple and easy to pick up, with basic controls for punching, kicking, and grappling. Matches are quick and chaotic, emphasizing fun and absurdity over realistic simulation.
- Interactive environments: The game features outlandish arenas with interactive elements. You can throw opponents into a helicopter in the Everglades or to an alligator in a swamp.
- Special abilities and power-ups: During matches, you can activate powerful abilities and power-ups, like punching with flaming fists, to turn the tide of a brawl.
- Massive roster: The game boasts a large roster of over 70 WWE Superstars and Legends, including past and present favorites. Many are unlocked through playing, but others can be bought with in-game currency.
- Five classes: Each superstar falls into one of five classes (Powerhouse, Brawler, Technician, High-Flyer, and All-Rounder), each with unique abilities.
- Campaign mode: An original story is told through comic book strips, where you guide new characters on their path to becoming WWE Superstars.
- Local and online multiplayer: You can play with up to four players locally or compete in online tournaments.
- Character and arena creation: You have the option to create and customize your own WWE Superstar and even design your own Battlegrounds.
Critical reception
The game received mixed to average reviews upon its release. It was generally praised for its fun, pick-up-and-play feel, especially when played with friends. However, critics were disappointed by the lack of depth in its combat mechanics and the heavy reliance on microtransactions and grinding to unlock content.
Who is it for?
WWE 2K Battlegrounds is a good choice for casual wrestling fans or players looking for a party game that doesn't take itself too seriously. It's a departure from the traditional WWE 2K series and is best enjoyed in short bursts with friends rather than as a deep, single-player experience.
