WWE or World Wrestling Entertainment is an American sensation when it comes to wrestling. They are so popular that people race for them. With the advancement in entertainment technology, it is quite common that WWE has transcended from just TV shows and in-person matches to video games today. The home video game console and PC market are dominated by WWE 2K, the leading licensed equivalent of WWE TV shows, developed by Saber Interactive and published by 2K Games and THQ. However, despite being the most popular gaming platform, the WWE games available on Android aren’t as high quality. The lack of WWE titles is a market to be exploited, but the existing titles on Play Store aren’t too shabby. Most of them are free, so you can check them out without spending a single penny.
1. WWE Mayhem (2017)
WWE Mayhem is an RPG-like WWE game where players get to play as several top wrestlers including John Cena, The Rock, and more. The gameplay is quite good for mobile and the visuals are acceptable despite it being a 4-year-old game. Mayhem’s gameplay resembles a beat-’em-up game. Turn-based combat and special moves make the gameplay up. It also has a hit-timer which requires players to time their shots to knock out a fallen opponent. Overall, WWE Mayhem is a pretty good game to try out on your Android devices. It is free to download on the Google Play Store and contains in-app purchases.
2. WWE Champions 2021
WWE Champions is a puzzle-solving role-playing WWE game. Although the game doesn’t require you to fight, it combines elements from two genres which makes it very interesting. The visuals are acceptable, and it receives the latest WWE players every season with periodic updates and enhancements. The game requires players to match any three shapes to make a move. It may sound silly to hardcore WWE fans, which can’t be denied. But the game is extremely fun to play and it will require some clever thinking to beat the hardest bosses. Although it is far from the core WWE experience, it is a fun way to spend some leisure time. The game is free to download from the Google Play Store and comes with a few in-app purchases.
3. WWE Undefeated (2020)
WWE Undefeated is a fairly new game in the series. It is an action beat-’em-up game that focuses on the core wrestling experience over anything else. The visuals follow an interesting graphics style and the cinematic player intros are quite well made for an Android game. The game also has a robust character customization system. This allows you to customize your playable character, the move set you want to equip, and an online element that you can use to play multiplayer with friends. The game is not perfect in delivering the WWE experience, but it is good enough for a mobile game. It is free to download from the Google Play Store and supports in-app purchases.
4. WWE SuperCard (2014)
WWE SuperCard is a fun title, but it is a card collecting game. It drifts significantly from the WWE experience and focuses on a completely different aspect of it. There are 150 WWE Superstars in the game for you to collect. The game requires you to select a few wrestlers from your cards list, and they will fight in a ring. It packs little to no action, but for someone interested in collecting WWE cards, this game will be quite an enjoyable experience. It also has an online PvP mode in which you can fight against other players. It also packs a royale rumble mode. In this mode, you can rumble up to 15 of your cards. Other than these, it also comes with a wild mode. The game is available for download for free from the Google Play Store. It also comes with in-app purchases, which enables you to buy in-game currency for real money.
5. TOPPS® WWE SLAM: Card Trader (2016)
TOPPS® WWE SLAM: Card Trader is another card collecting game on this list. It was launched comparatively recently, and it packs wrestlers from both the past and the present. However, you should note that the game has a bit of a learning curve because it deals with too many gameplay aspects. The controls aren’t hard, and the game is filled with new content in every WWE PPV event. It also has an online marketplace-like thing where players can trade or duel their cards with the players. WWE Slam is available for free from the Google Play Store. It also supports in-app purchases.
Android has some fun WWE games that although do not accurately deliver the core WWE experience, can be good to kill a few minutes. The article lists five of them from different gameplay aspects. As we saw, WWE Mayhem and WWE Undefeated focus mainly on the fighting part of the WWE experience. WWE Champions, on the other hand, is a puzzle-solving title. WWE SuperCard and WWE Slam are card collecting titles. So, you can choose what you want and try the games out accordingly. Albeit, you will have a good time playing all of these titles.
