\"\"<\/a>I have some friends who are into professional wrestling, but I\u2019ve never been able to get into it myself.\u00a0 I don\u2019t have anything against professional wrestling, and I think the physical prowess of those athletes is amazing, but it\u2019s just not my cup of tea.\u00a0 But every now and then I\u2019ll try watching or playing something related to wrestling to see what it is my friends like about the whole thing.\u00a0 Recently SEGA released a downloadable endless clicker called WWE Tap Mania, so I decided to try that.\u00a0 Of course, that might\u2019ve been a mistake as I\u2019m not a big fan of endless clickers either, but let\u2019s see how it goes.\u00a0 The game is available on iOS and Android devices, but reviewed on iPad here.<\/p>\n

So the first thing you do is make a wrestler card.\u00a0 I\u2019m not sure if the one you choose is a customizable wrestler or an actual real life one, but I think it\u2019s the former since they don\u2019t have a name.\u00a0 Then you just tap on the screen to \u2018hit\u2019 your opponent in the ring.\u00a0 As you defeat opponents, you\u2019ll earn cash which you can use to buy cards and add wrestlers to your team.\u00a0 You can have up to five at once, and the more you have, the stronger your hits will be against your opponent (five against one hardly seems fair, though, but then, what do I know?).\u00a0 You can also use cash to level up your team so they learn new skills and become stronger.\u00a0 I should mention that the cards and wrestlers that you get are all real life people, like John Cena, Triple H, Sasha Banks, Randy Savage, and many others that I don\u2019t know.<\/p>\n

After you defeat about ten wrestlers or so, you\u2019ll enter the Main Event which is like a boss fight.\u00a0 Here you must defeat a wrestler in 30 seconds, so make sure your team is leveled up enough for the task.\u00a0 You can tap on special skills for each team member for a special attack, so you\u2019ll want to save them up for these fights as they take time to recharge.\u00a0 If you don\u2019t make it, you can always try again once you have enough money to level up your fighters.\u00a0 Also, you gradually earn money when you\u2019re not playing as well.\u00a0 Once you defeat certain characters in Tap Mania, you can unlock them for play.\u00a0 But first you have to buy them with in-game currency that\u2019s even harder to earn than cash.\u00a0 And that\u2019s pretty much the whole game in a nutshell.<\/p>\n

The game plays nearly exactly like another endless clicker I reviewed: Tap My Katamari<\/strong><\/a>.\u00a0 But both are a bit different from the other one I wrote about a while back called Crazy Taxi: Gazillionaire<\/strong><\/a>.\u00a0 While I did like the cartoony, stylized look of the characters (they would make for a great comic book or cartoon), the game didn\u2019t hold my interest for very long.\u00a0 But fans of WWE and endless clickers may still like it.<\/p>\n

Kid Factor:<\/strong><\/p>\n

You do see cartoony characters perform punches, kicks, and other wrestling movies, but the animation is so choppy that the violence isn\u2019t very graphic.\u00a0 The announcers do spout \u201cOh my God\u201d from time to time.\u00a0 But if you\u2019re OK with your kids watching professional wrestling, they\u2019ll be OK with this game, too.\u00a0 Reading skill is helpful for the text.\u00a0 Parental supervision is recommended for the in-game ads and purchases.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
