French developers Punchers Impact have today announced a new multiplayer beat-’em-up to be released on PC and via PSN – the first beat-’em-up, allegedly, to combine the world of comics with the world of Mexican wrestling.
The game, entitled Lucha Fury, follows the story of four young wrestlers, each terribly addicted to energy drink. One day, there is no energy drink left. Oh no! A conspiracy is afoot! “The most incredible worldwide conspiracy ever,” according to the press release.
Surprisingly, Duke Nukem Forever JUST missed the cut.
Lol @ the video posted for blackwater. That game looks horrible.
Most of these are downloadable from the various stores and I haven't heard of half of them...
PlayDevil has posted an XBLA review of "Lucha Fury".
More:
"For the uninitiated the word Lucha comes from Lucha Libre which is a form of wrestling which stems from Mexico and features combatants known as Luchadores whom hide their true identities under masked guises."
Chris W. writes: "Lucha Fury is a good-looking game, and you can tell that Punchers Impact treated the game as a labor of love. Four luchador wrestlers (who are also slackers) come together to stop a shortage of their favorite energy drink only to stumble upon something more sinister; this is no normal shortage. Ancient Gods are stealing the world’s supply of Pollojo, because they don’t think the human race deserves to have it. Quite a silly premise for a story, but is it enough to keep you entertained throughout the game?"
