This game is an Action RPG with a touch of wrestling, it was created by Mega Cat Studios, and was released on August 22nd. Two folks, Muchacho Man and Brink Logan are on a quest to be the next wrestling champ, and they go to new worlds and make new friends along the way.
But little do they know, that there’s another twist in this tale. A villain named Helephant, wants to script wrestling, thus destroying the sport, it’s up to these two heroes and their allies to stop him from destroying what makes wrestling great.
Tropes?! Oh Si!:
- Artistic License – Sports: Apparently, using weapons in this game doesn’t cause you to get disqualified, and being thrown out of the ring constitutes an instant loss instead of a count out.
- Badass Teacher: Barbae is a teacher for a school in Boxwood. She may not look like the fighting type, but that doesn’t mean she can’t fight. Due to her knowledge in the basics of what every teacher needs to know, she uses this knowledge and put it into fighting.
- Big Bad: Helephant/L.F. Font is the antagonist of the game, and wants to take away what makes wrestling, well, wrestling. Plus, he’s not above using intimidation and manipulation to get what he wants.
- Big Boo's Haunt: The Le Claue Estate is a haunted swamp level that’s home to all sorts of monsters you’d find on Halloween.
- Bolivian Army Ending: At the end of the Playable Epilogue, Muchacho Man and Brink Logan are set up for a match with Randy Savage. The game cuts to the credits as Savage makes his entrance.
- Brutish Bulls: The Chinampo Champ is a anthropomorphic toy cow, who’s only words are Moo.
- The Cameo: Certain Internet personalities appear as NPCs, like Angry Joe.
- Canadian Equals Hockey Fan: Stag Logan is a Canadian moose, and is a big fan of hockey even though he’s a wrestler, his home is littered with hockey memorabilia, plus he’s almost never seen without his hockey stick.
- Combination Attack: Players can use attacks by working together, with either 2 or 3 characters.
- Cowgirl: Celine Logan; sister of Brink Logan, has the cowgirl attitude, attire, and accent to match. Not only that, but her moves names are based on things you’d expect from cowpoke.
- Down in the Dumps: Backbreaker Boneyard is a junkyard that’s chock-full of scrap.
- Dual Boss: The Road Warriors are a duo, and they fight against Muchacho Man and his Allie’s due to them stealing a vehicle in their turf.
- Epiphanic Prison: After Helephant pushed them out the window, they blacked out. They found themselves in a mental reality, as time passed they realize their errors, and thought they were better off here than anywhere else. That was until Randy Savage knocked some sense into them, and they woke up.
- Expy Coexistence: "Muchacho Man" Randy Santos is basically "Macho Man" Randy Savage's non-union Mexican equivalent in a world where Savage himself is an icon. Justified in that Mucacho Man looked up to Savage growing up.
- Family of Choice: In Boxwood, everyone is essentially one big family instead of friends, no matter how different. Take Toy Box Jimmy for example, he's an action figure mechanic, and his little cousin, a potato head named Tot.
- Fish People: Loachador and Rad Cod are action figure fish, and Loachador has a family that’s just like that.
- The Gimmick: Gimmicks are used as special moves that characters can use in battle.
- Hopeless Boss Fight: At certain points in the game, the party is either scheduled to job or is faced off against an enemy that they have to lose against for plot reasons. In the former case, the "Mandatory Dramatic Moments" objectives still need to be met and result in a Non-Standard Game Over if failed. In the latter, none of the player's attacks do any damage. Oddly enough, this occurs for the final stage of the final confrontation with the Helephant, with his defeat only coming by way of Disney Villain Death when the floor gives way from under him immediately after he defeats Muchacho Man.
- Horn Attack: Being a moose, Stag Logan can use this with a technique called "Antler Bomb", where he charges opponents with his antlers.
- Jungle Japes: Jungolji (which is a Shout-Out of Jumanji) is a jungle themed level that’s home to animal-like toys, and other things you’d find in a jungle.
- Lions and Tigers and Humans... Oh, My!: The Toybox is home to all toys great and small, whether their human or animal. Examples like this are Stag Logan who is a moose, Loachador and Rad Cod who are fish, and Helephant who is an elephant.
- Living Toys: The story takes place in a world called the Toybox, where all sorts of toys, big and small, thrive. There are dolls, plushies, action figures, you name it. If it’s a toy, it’ll be there.
- Memorial Statue: Because this game is about wrestling, it has all sorts of statues of wrestlers from wrestling history, and it tells how far they came, and these statues are all over the Toybox. Notably, Randy Savage has several statues scattered throughout the Toy Box and there are achievements for making the pilgrimage to three of them and all of them respectively.
- Moose Are Idiots: Stag Logan is an anthropomorphic moose action figure, and he’s not exactly the brightest to say the least, but he makes up for it in strength.
- One-Winged Angel: Helephant becomes this in the final battle to defeat Muchacho Man and Brink once and for all.
- Opening Narration: The game starts off with a podcast describing the world of the Toy Room, and its famous sport, wrestling.
- Piggy Bank: An Enemy called Money Pig is a living piggy bank that can shoot out coins on anyone that crosses paths with them.
- Remilitarized Zone: A war field level, called the Glory Fields is home to things that scream military, war zones, military bases, and sniper rounds.
- Shifting Sand Land: San Sebastián level is a desert continent that’s home to sand, desert dwellers, cacti, and piñatas (apparently).
- Slippy-Slidey Ice World: The Great North level is where you’ll find icy mountains and snow as far as the eye can see. It’s also home to all kinds of creatures you’d find in icy regions, heck, even a yeti lives there.
- Strength Equals Worthiness: Once you prove your worth to the Icons of Wrestling they will join and aid you in your quest by helping out in battle however they can, some will just give you items that you can equip, others will become your managers just to give you an edge in the fight.
- Summon Magic: Again, when you prove them your worth their time, they are willing to help you when you need them.
