WWE Immortals is the kind of game I’ve dreamed about since I was a kid. It takes the already over the top action of wrestling and puts it into an even more over the top fighting game. It’s basically a WWE themed version of Injustice for iOS. That’s not a bad thing at all. If you’ve played that game, you know what to expect. If you haven’t played that game, keep reading to find out how this all works.
1. The concept here is that Bray Wyatt has filled his lantern with dark mystical energy. The Authority takes the lantern and unleashes its power. This causes rifts to other dimensions to open up. In these words, the WWE superstars and divas are badass warriors, mages, and monsters. Naturally, they start fighting each other. In this game, Kane is an actual demon, the Bellas are elemental witches, and John Cena is really a super hero. It’s a fun concept that allows for a lot of creative license.
2. When it comes to combat, the game uses the same structure as Injustice. You tap for light attacks, swipe for heavy attacks, and touch with two fingers in order to block. Signature moves are charged as you fight, and you simply tap the one you want to use. This will bring up a mini game where you’ll need to either tap or swipe the screen quickly in order to boost your damage. You control a team of three characters that you can switch between on the fly. The first side to run out of people is the loser. It’s a simple system, but ends up being fun because it rewards the player for timing their attacks properly.
3. There are three tiers of superstars: bronze, silver, and gold. Bronze are the weakest of the bunch, and gold is the strongest. In order to acquire new characters, you need to spend coins earned in battle. You can also buy coins with real money if you get impatient. If you want a specific character, it will cost you a lot of coins. If you buy a random booster, the price is cheaper. There are also other cards you can earn. Some cards allow you to upgrade your characters for free, talent cards give passive bonus to specific characters, and gear cards can be equipped for some basic customization.
