WWF King of the Ring is a sports video game released in 1993 for the Game Boy platform. It is based on professional wrestling and centers around the iconic King of the Ring tournament. Players take control of various WWF wrestlers and compete in matches to advance through the bracket, with the main objective being to win the championship by defeating all opponents.
The gameplay pace is relatively quick, focusing on timing-based moves and counters. The game features a unique mechanic where each wrestler has distinct moves and abilities, encouraging strategic use of different attacks and grapples during matches. Matches are one-on-one, with an emphasis on executing combos and finishing moves to wear down the opponent.
A distinctive aspect of WWF King of the Ring is its tournament structure, which replicates the progression of the actual King of the Ring event.
