7 Things You Need To Know About RetroMania Wrestling

2. There's A Story Mode

Players will want as many wrestlers as possible for the 'Story Mode' Stevie Richards dropped news on in RGT 85's video. Details are scarce right now on how this'll work, but early predictions are that it'll use game sprites to tell the story in real time rather than cut scenes, and that it'll be fairly straightforward rather than using a branching narrative.

House Of Hardcore will likely be involved as well. Why not? Retrosoft would be as well squeezing as much from that license as possible, and Tommy Dreamer will be eager to showcase his promotion as much as he can. Maybe players will go on a quest for the HOH TV Title and eventually work their way up to Dreamer himself.

Or, for older fans, some sort of retro-themed tag mode like WrestleFest's 'Saturday Night's Main Event' feature would do. That'd capitalise on both the traditional tag and six-man rules, would incorporate the cage match element and more.

It's good Retrosoft realise they'll need some sort of single-player campaign rather than relying on one-off matches.
