WWE Wrestlefest Gameplay

WWE Wrestlefest is true to its original arcade roots using only two attack buttons, an energy bar, and a simplistic grapple system.

The two attack buttons are used to punch and kick. Wrestlers grapple automatically when wrestlers reach an appropriate range, while players mash on their buttons to "win" the grapple and perform moves. Signature moves are performed automatically when their opponent's energy bar has been depleted.

The match is over when a submission is applied to deplete the opponent's remaining energy, or when a wrestler is pinned for a 3 count.

Concurrent with the release of the game on iOS devices, WWE WrestleFest was announced to hit a variety of platforms, including Xbox Live, PSN, Android, and PC, however, these extra versions were canceled.
