Finger Gun Games has launched a kickstarter for their new game Suplex Saga, and it certainly looks interesting.

 

This is Finger Gun Games introducing you to our next project, which we’re planning for Steam! SUPLEX SAGA is a marriage between Final Fantasy, Paper Mario, and professional wrestling. A true scandalous wedding angle that’s not at all out of place in the world of sports entertainment. Our game takes all the out-of-this-world characters, all the wrestling fueds, and the brutality of the matches, and brings them all together to book one hell of a tropey RPG. Suplex Saga is being developed in Unity. The game is scheduled for Steam (Windows & PC), and possibly console.

 

Overview

The player takes the role of Ace Evander, a rising babyface star in the world of indie wrestling. Following in the footsteps of the famous Evanders team of his mother and father, Ace strives to carve a path for himself by rising to the top and bringing the old family name back to the forefront. Unfortunately, a heated war erupts between Ace’s home promotion and the UWC (The Universal Wrestling Corporation), the top wrestling organization in the country. In an “invasion” angle for the ages, Ace’s home promotion is destroyed by the evil UWC. Fueled with revenge and conviction, Ace goes after the UWC, making an assault on their territories with the help of the fellow wrestling superstars that he meets along the way. The game will be filled with surprising stories, captivating characters that range from baby faces to heels that may or may not want to piledrive you through a table, and an epic quest that won’t involve any searching for ancient crystals (unless said crystals are embedded in a championship belt).

Build your stable and get back at the corporation that wants to bury you! In this game, kayfabe is all true, blurring of the line between the outlandishness of a televised wrestling show and reality. In this world, wrestling is actually real, and the everything revolves around it. It is so indoctrinated into the life of the people in this world that even doctors do as much work in the ring as they do on an operating table, like the famous “Chiropractor Steve,” who can fix a bad back with a Torture Rack hold. And even the most heated of wars and rivalries can be resolved by pinning their opponent to the floor for 3 seconds.

This sounds like an incredible game and one that I truly want to see more of. I hope it succeeds in its goal and that people will give it a chance ( No this is not a sponsored post).
