Set to launch on PlayStation Network next week, Drinkbox Studios’ Guacamelee! aims to fill a hole in the PlayStation brand’s line-up. A platform-adventure videogame that wears it’s inspiration on its sleeve, Guacamelee! takes the classic Metroid template and coats it with a luchador thematic, cartoon style visual and deep love of everything that makes the videogames industry such an interesting piece of modern culture. It’s a heady mix, and one that aims to make the most of the unique features of the PlayStation formats.
