Yes, that is a ram charging into the shot There are different game modes – the highlight being the King of the Battleground mode, a sort of weird cross-over Battle Royale mode where the last wrestler standing wins the match. Wrestlers have special moves, you might even refer to them as “superpowers”. There is little depth to the wrestler’s moves and although different classes of wrestlers have different skillsets, a lot of these are actually shared, even between iconic wrestlers.ĭespite the limitations of the gameplay mechanics, the game still feels okay to play.
This is wrestling – it’s meant to be goofy and fun. Gameplay in 2K Battlegrounds is fundamentally basic, but that’s okay. Is it worth that hefty price tag? No, probably not. In comparison? Yes, Battlegrounds is more fun than 2k20. A game developer, somewhere at 2K and Saber Interactive, has made an effort with this game. Battlegrounds is more arcadey and stylized than WWE 2k20. There’s no doubt that this game is overpriced for what it is, and the microtransaction system is clearly over-the-top.īut as a game for fans of wrestling, WWE 2K Battlegrounds at least establishes itself with a little more style, a little more “gameness”, than the last rolled-out WWE games from 2k.Ģk20 was the previous WWE game from 2K, and it pretty much flopped out of the ring and flapped around on the floor of the stadium like a dying fish. WWE 2K Battlegrounds, like any other 2K wrestling game from the past few years, should be approached with caution.
