Not only that, but the animation is downright awful, and the photography is actually worse. Too bad I have no idea who any of these people are. Pretty generous of them, right? Except they make you scroll through each and every wrestler, diva, and chair, theoretically selling their brand name from the very beginning.
The game starts off by giving you a deck of 15 cards. I’ll admit, I’m a bit picky when it comes to gaming, and under other circumstances there’s no way in hell I would have ever picked up this game, but for the sake of review I’ll give it a chance. The majority of them have their asinine energy counters, so I guess one solution to them is simply finding another freemium game to play.Īnyway, this article isn’t about the many, many downfalls of freemium. Is there actually any profit in that? Enough to justify all the imitators, I guess, and freemium seems to be the ideal market for that. The knock off brands that rip off the original in everything but name, trying to scrape up the tailings that the giant left behind. Not only that, but one has to wonder exactly how much money one can make riding on the coattails of a more successful company. The market is so volatile, in fact, that it almost brings to mind notorious financial crises like the 2008 housing bubble. What might have been unknown 24 hours ago might be making thousands of dollars an hour right now, and yesterday’s top mobile gaming company might take a 20% loss to their stock over the course of 24 hours. Of course, this brings a bit of worry as well, since the casual market is notoriously fickle. It seems that casual games are so incredibly lucrative that nobody, not even pro wrestling, can keep their fingers out of the pie. Of course, it’s of particular note that something like the WWE, which traditionally has only minimal interest in the video game industry is suddenly taking an interest in the casual gaming market. WWE SuperCard by 2K is the latest version to jump on the bandwagon. With the advent of Blizzard’s wildly popular Hearthstone, it seems that everyone’s trying to jump on the latest fad of digital trading card games. Well, the two have something in common, now. The fans of this franchise are so rabid and obsessed with it that they make other fandoms look calm and well adjusted, as the Trekkies would say. On the one hand you have a franchise that’s based entirely around the graphic and glorified portrayal of ultra violence, populated by idealized and hyper sexualized characters, with cheesy drama so thick you could cut it with a knife.
