Zangief basically gets his own game in Hades-style wrestling roguelike Realm Of Fame

I americium neither a wrestler nor a wrestling fan. I person ne'er attended a cage combat oregon deed idiosyncratic with a folding chair. I person ne'er had a blowoff oregon no-sold somebody's effort to laic the smackdown connected my randy ass. I cannot odor what the Rock is cooking. I cannot. Nonetheless, I deliberation a Hades-style roguelite built astir grappling sounds similar a amusive time, particularly erstwhile it's acceptable successful a cursed Byzantine citadel. This is Realm Of Fame from Black Cube Games. Can you odor what the trailer is cooking?

"In this mystical roguelike, you play arsenic Maj, a wandering psyche driven by redemption and purpose," explains the Steam page. "Master grapples, throws, and counters successful battles wherever each brushwood with twisted spirits and mythic heroes feels similar an past duel of strength, wit, and resolve."

The game's combat surely appears to thin into the wrasslin' gimmick, though it's conscionable arsenic defined by magic. When you bash a groundpound (is this a "smackdown"? Sources cannot corroborate astatine the clip of writing) connected a burly wolfman, it whitethorn nonstop vigor waves shooting retired successful each directions. Expect an "ever-shifting labyrinth of storms and enchanted valleys", too, with brag fights successful which you spell up against corrupted classical celebs specified arsenic Hercules. If it were Achilles, we could marque a gag astir turning heel.

Maj's unlockable moves person names similar "falcon dive", "slumber serenade" and "bubble suspension", each of which dependable acold excessively lyrical for WWE. As for wherever helium gets his sorcerous buffness, it comes from "a mystical unit called the Lover's Wind". Unfortunately, connected acquiring the Lover's Wind, Maj accidentally unleashed a countervailing Evil Wind, which is the root of the world's corruption. Is this what the Rock was cooking? I deliberation the Rock needs to laic disconnected the sprouts for a while.

I realise I'm leaning connected the WWE gags here, but lobbing dudes astir similar sacks of potatoes is simply a pastime that stretches acold beyond WWE. Amongst different things, I've conscionable learned that "wrassling" is really a Cornish profession. Are determination immoderate different diversion precedents and traditions I should beryllium invoking here? The developers are besides the creators of The Tale Of Bistun, which is based connected an epic Persian romanticist poem from the 12th century, "Khosrow and Shirin".
