CHIKARA: Action Arcade Wrestling Launches on Steam

VICO Game Studio, in partnership with Reverb Triple XP, have brought the family-friendly CHIKARA experience to home PCs. CHIKARA: Action Arcade Wrestling is now available on Steam, and draws upon the style that millions of fans across 40 countries are familiar with. Built in Unreal Engine 4, this is the first CHIKARA video game and does its best to capture the “Fun-filled Lucha Super Party” feel of the wrestling federation.

Over-the-top antics, fast arcade gameplay, comic book characters, and the signature CHIKARA style await players, but if you can’t find someone you want to play as, don’t worry! You can jump into the Wrestle Factory Creation Suite to use the tools available to make your own customized wrestler. CHIKARA: Action Arcade Wrestling is available for a limited time for only 13.49 USD (10% off).

Mike Quackenbush, founder and owner of CHIKARA discussed the game:

“CHIKARA celebrates what is fun, exciting and dynamic about professional wrestling. It’s a live-action comic book with the kinds of weird and wonderful characters and stories that idea promises. We’re the alternative to the cookie-cutter product of mainstream wrestling. To see that vision brought to life, in a video game that pays homage to the classic games I love to play, makes this all the sweeter.”
