Played in tactical management style instead of action based antics, the game allows players to recruit new girls, check the stats of wrestlers, and apportion funds to the development of the gals. With some seed money, the player grows a franchise from a fledgling operation to a renowned wrestling franchise. The aim of the game is match creation where wrestlers are pitted against each other over the course of a season.

Winning bouts will lead to earnings and increased popularity which in turn boosts the purses that the wrestlers may potentially win. As the popularity of a league of wrestlers grows in repute and renown, players may keep the momentum going by signing new wrestlers and creating new matches which energize the audience. Funds may also be used to expand facilities to better train the girls.

NCS Game Notes
» In the intro to the game, the cheer of a crowd sounds off and the camera does a blurry take on a wrestling ring as confetti falls. The words "Angel Strikes Again" is spiked across the screen. The scene changes to a view of the wrestling angels who appear as anime characters in still poses. A rotating view of the wrestling ring is shown between snippets of the gals as they raise their arms and clown for the camera in static gestures. There's an obligatory bikini sequence as well where winsome wrestlers appear on the beach. The closing shot is of the wrestling ring and a "Champion belt" before the title screen appears. The theme song of the game is "Starry Eyes" which plays during the intro.

» After starting a MANAGEMENT game, players are asked to create a group name and select a wrestling logo from 8 possible choices. We chose the one with the unicorn rising up on the bottom row. Players also select their base of operations on a map of Japan and the game kicks off at a sunny office where a purple-haired assistant cheerfully greets the new manager. From the office, all tasks may be performed including auditioning new girls, setting up matches, promotions, and all the tasks that management is saddled with.

» The earnings power of the wrestlers increase as they make it to more vaunted venues where the audience pays big bucks to see them in action.

» Matches are fought by selecting moves from cards. Each wrestler starts with a hand of 5 cards lined up on the bottom of the screen. As the gals pull off moves, they are shown in static images accompanied with voice acting and move sequences that are shown on four panels. Despite the static presentation, the sound effects and kinetic editing create a somewhat exciting match that lasts about about 5 minutes. Each girl has a HP gauge on the top screen as well as meters for hands and legs. When an opponent's gauge drops to nil, it's time to do a pin move to end the match.

» Instead of selecting the moves and options for a gal during a wrestling match, players may allow the COM to determine all moves and card selections. Press either the L1 or L2 trigger before each match to toggle automatic play and relegate yourself to spectator status.

» Attractive winning pose screens are shown after each successful match. After a tournament is won, the winning wrestler is shown in front of a large gold-colored "Congratulations" sign.
