There’s no particularly standout accessibility features in AEW Fight Forever, at least at launch. However, players may want to enable the easy counters feature if you’re having trouble getting the timing right on reversing strikes and grapples. While the AEW Fight Forever entrances are short, you're able to take control over your entrance while it's happening, by changing the camera angles, as well adding pyros and effects.Factor in the stat of an 80% player fall-off since launch, and it’s hard to call which way this will go if and when it releases. Ring The Bell With so long to get things right, have Yukes and AEW pulled off the perfect run in? Or will Fight Forever go down in the history books alongside the infamously bad Exploding Barbed Wire Death Match?

Players can choose from a Ranked Match, a Casual Match or a Private match, the latter allowing them to play with people in their party. Williams, Leah J. (April 22, 2022). "AEW: Fight Forever aims to be a major WWE 2K rival". Games Hub . Retrieved August 13, 2023. There are some more charming elements, though. Your superstar will often run into others on the roster during text-based events. These aren’t anything special, but the writing is deliciously cheesy in all the right ways, acting as a decent incentive to plow through your matches week after week. Single, tag-team, 3-way, 4-way, ladder, Casino Battle Royale, Falls Count Anywhere, Unsanctioned Lights Out, Exploding Barbed Wire Death and online co-op multi-player matches!What is here is OK, but it does feel a little bit… sparse, and the absence of a belt creator in 2023 is unforgivable. There are also some pretty bold choices when it comes to controls, too. Certain wrestlers have skills that change up the way they fight, allowing them to do things others aren’t able to. Fight Forever isn’t an ugly game, but it’s hard to say it looks good either. Wrestler models range from very competent to flat out awful, and a lot of them just look wildly out of proportion, especially on the match setup screen.

Something I expected to happen hours into Road to Elite, I’d achieved in a matter of minutes. It left the rest of the career mode feeling rather listless, as I’d already managed to obtain one of its most prestigious belts in the first hour of play. The titular Road to Elite isn’t as long or winding as you might think, it seems.While its roster is limited, AEW Fight Forever does squeeze in a few noteworthy icons, such as Jericho and the Hardyz – although frustratingly, Matt Hardy is only available as DLC. Former WCW world champion Sting debuted in 2020 and is included, as is former WWE monster The Big Show – under his real name of Paul Wight. This is a bizarre omission, especially when there doesn’t seem to be any reason for it. There are arguably more difficult to program match types in the game, and systems are more than capable of having 6 wrestlers on screen at once. Mini Game Mayhem When AEW Fight Forever’s at its best, it can be brilliant (if simple) fun. Moves have a strong feeling of weight to them, and connected blows are sold almost as well as they are on TV. Special and signature moves hit particularly hard, with dynamic camera angles highlighting the strong animation work on display.

This is your meat and potatoes when it comes to any wrestling game; the Career Mode. Or at least the closest approximation Fight Forever offers. In a similar way to older games, the reversal system in AEW Fight Forever features different buttons for countering strikes and grapples, as well as a guarding mechanic.
