Rather than a health bar the game has momentum bars for each character, which grants access to signature and finishing moves upon filling it. If you want a new No Mercy, AEW: Fight Forever nails it, the game has that arcade-like pick up and play feel that the Nintendo 64 games nailed, you've got light and heavy attacks, a grab which can be combined with either of those buttons, run and reversal buttons. The game is developed by Yukes (who developed the main WWE series until the disastrous WWE 2K20, which caused a full reboot for the series). This brings us to AEW: Fight Forever, which Omega has been heavily involved in the production of and is billed as a spiritual successor to those titles, even going the extra mile by bringing No Mercy director Hideyuki Iwashita back to produce the new game. By extension, he's a fan of wrestling games, specifically those made by AKI Corporation for the Nintendo 64: WCW vs NWO World Tour, WCW/NWO Revenge, WWF Wrestlemania 2000, and WWF No Mercy.

The two wrestlers are well known as gamers, with Omega making appearances with entrances inspired by the likes of Undertale and Street Fighter.

The company was headed up by New Japan and Pro Wrestling Guerrilla alumni like Kenny Omega, and Cody Rhodes. AEW: Fight Forever is exactly the type of throwback wrestling fans have been clamouring for, but it falls a bit short in many areas, especially since WWE games have made a huge comeback in the three years between Fight Forever's announcement and release.Īll Elite Wrestling (AEW) burst onto the scene in 2019, set to be an antidote to an increasingly stagnant WWE.
