Rollic's Power Slap, the mobile adaptation of the controversial slapping "sport," is now available on iOS and Android. The game features a roster of WWE superstars, adding a familiar element to the face-slapping action.
This turn-based game, as the name suggests, involves virtual slapping until opponents are knocked out. While the real-life sport is undeniably questionable, its popularity is undeniable, making the game adaptation an intriguing prospect.
The connection between WWE superstars and Power Slap stems from the recent merger of WWE and UFC under TKO Holdings, with UFC president Dana White owning Power Slap. This explains the inclusion of top WWE names like Rey Mysterio, Omos, Braun Strowman, and Seth "Freaking" Rollins in the game's lineup.
More Than Just Slaps
The full release of Power Slap includes additional game modes like PlinK.O, Slap’n Roll, and Daily Tournaments, offering players diverse gameplay experiences beyond the core slapping mechanic.
Rollic aims to make this unusual mobile game a success, though the long-term appeal remains to be seen. The inclusion of popular WWE wrestlers is certainly a strong selling point.
