Guacamelee! Review | GameRevolution

Working out as a luchador includes a lot of full-body motions.

You've gotta lift things up over your head, remain extremely flexible, and generally jump around in skimpy underpants. It's not an easy thing to do. Luchador wrestlers train for years and the sport has certainly influenced other styles of wrestling around the world. Thankfully, Drinkbox Studios have prepared a simulation for aspiring luchadores to see if they would enjoy that lifestyle.

Guacamelee! is all about Juan, a regular joe who's pretty down on himself. Joe sulks around the town running errands until suddenly, El Presidente's daughter is kidnapped! When Juan gives pursuit, the big bad Skeleton guy uses his magic powers to kill Juan. In death, Juan puts on a magical luchador mask, where he gains the ability to flip back and forth between the land of the living and the land of the dead. And as silly as that premise sounds, it's actually an excellent game.

Great review! I'm excited to have a couch co-op game again, as well as something for the Vita.

People that have a Vita should try cross-controller with this game it works very well. Great game by the way fun and funny.

Sent from my PS Vita

Guac with chips on the couch. Gotta love it!

The game is much more a Castlevania/Metroidvania game than Mirror of Fate will ever be. Despite its peculiar name Guacamelee is a fantastic albeit short romp. Perfect for handhelds like the Vita!

This game rocks, if you don't have it, get it. Looks great on the Vita. Was surprised at the amount of enemies sometimes, fun.

Suplex those god damn chickens! lol

VIVA LA VITA! LIVE THE LIFE!

Hollow Knight is really good. GreenPath was my favorite area of the game.

Guacamelee 1 was also good. I got to check out G2.

Venoxn4g1554d ago

In my opinion Guacamelle 2 is even better than first..hopefully we will get third game

SCW19821555d ago

Hollow Knight is the best Metroidvania since Symphony of the night.

NecrumOddBoy1555d ago

I highly recommend TimeSpinner. It's on everything now but I played and platinum'd it on PS4. Excellent classic style MV with a cool 'time' element and hidden secrets, bosses, multiple ending/outcomes, etc. 9/10 from me.

Vanfernal1554d ago

Axiom Verge was the Metroidvania I enjoyed the most this gen.

AK911554d ago

I’m biased but for me it’s Bloostained: Ritual of the night.
