Rollic's Power Slap, a mobile adaptation of the controversial slapping "sport," is now available on iOS and Android. The game features a roster of recognizable WWE superstars, adding a surprising celebrity element to the face-slapping action.
For the uninitiated, Power Slap is precisely what it sounds like: a competition where participants take turns delivering powerful slaps to each other's faces until someone is knocked unconscious. While the real-life spectacle might raise eyebrows, the game offers a surprisingly engaging, albeit unusual, mobile experience.
The inclusion of prominent WWE wrestlers like Rey Mysterio, Braun Strowman, Omos, and Seth "Freaking" Rollins is no coincidence. Given the recent merger of WWE and UFC under TKO Holdings (UFC president Dana White owns Power Slap), this crossover makes perfect sense.
More Than Just Slaps
The full release of Power Slap on mobile boasts additional content beyond the core slapping mechanic. Players can expect to engage in side-quests such as PlinK.O and Slap’n Roll, as well as participate in Daily Tournaments. The addition of these game modes adds depth and replayability, potentially broadening its appeal beyond the initial gimmick.
While the real-world Power Slap might be controversial, Rollic's mobile adaptation appears committed to delivering a polished and entertaining experience. Whether the presence of top WWE stars will be enough to secure its long-term success remains to be seen.
