One of the highlights of this title is its campaign that will allow us to control different fighters until now unknown to play all kinds of fights around the world in the most picturesque settings. This campaign is going to give us a few hours of fun and in it, we are going to see some of the iconic protagonists of WWE although we would have appreciated a little more effort at the narrative level in it. In addition, through the campaign, we will be unlocking content for the rest of the game as new power-ups for all fighters. Something that has caught our attention in a very positive way is the number of game modes present in WWE 2K Battlegrounds as well as the future plans to add more superstars, arenas and content to a game that seems to have support at least until the release of the next installment of WWE 2K. To compensate for this simplicity in combat, what WWE 2K Battlegrounds does is give a twist to the formula, eliminating disqualifications and being able to use objects such as guitars, chairs or hammers at all times to strike our rivals. In addition, we also see twists in certain types of combats and, for example, in the typical Steel Cages, we must manage to collect a certain amount of money that appears in the ring before being able to win the combat.Īnother touch is found towards exaggeration, with special movements of the Superstars that retain their essence but are more aggressive than in real life or also with some … extra elements during the combats such as an electrified cell or the possibility in one of the scenarios to throw our rivals against some crocodiles that will not take long to swallow them and take a good amount of life. In fact … we even saw a wrestler come out of the ring to grab a controller and control a mechanical chicken that started attacking us!Īs we said, these WWE 2K Battlegrounds fights are less deep than in the main saga but, with the exaggeration of some movements and some special events or twists in certain types of fights this simplicity is quite well compensated and it is quite fun, especially in the time to play with our friends. Of course, the rhythm of the combats and the movements are somewhat slow, similar to those of the main series, it could be better perhaps a little more rhythm here to further accentuate that arcade combat cut that is presented with this new installment to be able to have much more crazy combats. We continue to be able to perform blows, keys, throws and even special movements of our favourite stars although the number of blows and possibilities inside the ring will be less than in other deliveries, betting on faster combats that give a breath of fresh air to the franchise and that they have a good playable result.

This carefree current is clear to us from the moment we see the first trailer or play the first game, with the different WWE stars represented as if they were some kind of collectible dolls, sometimes somewhat caricatured in an image that, is everything a success both for the arcade-style of the title and to better differentiate it from the main series. WWE 2K Battlegrounds is a simpler title than the usual WWE 2K, betting on a more arcade formula instead of that current of simulation (within what fits) of the main saga, allowing us to do a few extra crazy things and enjoy a game shallower but pretty fun.
