Micro Titans Wrestling by Micro Titans

What would be your description of your game?

Micro Titans Wrestling is a Roguelike Deck Builder themed on the Golden Age of Professional Wrestling featuring a roster of Era Defining fictional and Licensed characters and a Unique card battle system. Think Balatro, but with all the glitz, glamour, theatrics, twists and turns of a pro-wrestling match. The game is still in the prototyping phase, but we’re ready to get new eyes on the core gameplay loop for feedback! We’re ready to ramp up development and team sizes, so are looking for funding or a publisher to get the ball rolling.

How did development start? (Were there any key inspirations or ideas that drove you?)

During the dark ages of Covid a friend (Dante) and I (Steven) prototyped a physical card game. We had a few demo versions of the game made up (that can be played at GaMaYo!) and after many iterations and 2 years, we landed on a seriously fun card game. However, we think it will translate better to a deck building digital game, so 6 months ago we began development of a prototype.

Tell us about the team behind the game!

Steven Dalton (Programmer, Design): 14 years of experience in game development including 5 years at Team17, 2 years at Steel City Interactive and 2 years at Double Eleven. Specialising in Artificial Intelligence for the last 7 years, featured in the first 2 volumes of the excellent Game AI textbook series Game AI Uncovered.
Dante Richardson (Design): A veteran of the UK and Worldwide Professional Wrestling scene Dante is the chief editor at Inside the Ropes magazine and author of many well received pro-wrestling books including the Titan trilogy (Titan sinking, Titan Shattered and Titan Screwed).
Joe Hendry (Ambassador): A breakout wrestling superstar of 2024 & 2025 Joe is the ambassador for Micro Titans Wrestling stateside, pursuing agreements with top talent of the golden era (1989 – 93), modern day wrestling and everything inbetween to use their likeness and names in our game. Joe is currently TNA World Champion and featured in a match against Randy Orton at this year’s Wrestlemania!

What kind of experiences do you hope to bring players?

We want to provide a nostalgia-laden experience for anyone that engaged with pro-wrestling during the boom period of the late eighties and early nineties, whether they’re still fans now or their interest lapsed years ago. We’re also hoping to provide a gameplay loop that mimics the ups and downs, highlights, near falls, wild swings and unexpected moments of a real pro-wrestling match, offering an exciting and engaging game for wrestling fans and non-fans alike. Maybe we can even introduce new fans to the theatrics of pro-wrestling.

In 10 words or less, highlight the appeal of the game!

A nostalgia fuelled pro-wrestling deck-builder. So close to the real thing, it’s like being in the ring!
