Guacamelee Review

Indie titles have been gaining tons of traction lately. With titles like Minecraft and Bastion showing AAA companies and gamers that you don’t need a staff of hundreds to create high quality products, more people have been willing to give good ole indies a try. And that’s how I stumbled upon Guacamelee . I needed something to play on a plane ride and after downloading Final Fantasy VI for the fifth time, I decided I wanted a change. I’d heard the name before, but only knew it was an indie title having something to do with luchadors. On a $15 whim, I downloaded it and played it on my Vita. Is it as entertaining as the title suggests, or would I wish I had just said nah-chos? Guacamelee stars Juan Aguacate, an agave farmer with a magic luchador mask on a mission to save his childhood friend and possible love interest, who also happens to be El Presidente’s daughter, from the evil undead skeleton Calaca. The story not only features Mexican folklore, but embraces is wholly and gives its own take. From the land of the dead to the building architecture and casual Spanish, this game really takes on the culture of Mexico and makes it accessible by having fun with it. This game not only pulls from Mexican folklore, but from internet and video game culture for its jokes. With luchador posters featuring the likenesses of Bane and Batman to Super Meat Boy and Mega Man, and even Grumpy CAt, this game has so many in-jokes, you’re always lookin ...

Guacamelee costume DLC pulled to fix 'Pollo Power' glitch

Guacamelee 's first batch of DLC, a costume pack , was supposed to launch today alongside a patch that enabled players to swap characters at checkpoints - but the patch causes serious problems and Drinkbox Studios has pulled it down . This means the DLC won't launch today as planned. The patch bugs out in save games after acquiring the "Pollo Power," making it impossible for players to leave chicken mode and essentially blocking progress. The patch was live long enough for some players to download it, and Drinkbox says it may have automatically downloaded for PlayStation Plus members last night. To fix the issue, PS3 players can delete Guacamelee entirely and re-download it, and Vita players can save to the cloud, then delete and re-download the game. "We hope to release a fix for the patch (as well as the downloadable content) as soon as possible," Drinkbox says. "Really sorry about this!"

Game Review: 'Guacamelee'

One of these days I’m going to rub the back of my neck, and I’ll finally feel that implant that the gaming industry has managed to sneak onto my body during one of the alcohol-induced benders of my youth. At some point, in between the 11 th and 12 th shot of Wild Turkey, I was hauled into a van and chipped like a bear in Yellowstone Park so that my brainwaves can be scanned and a game that somehow manages to scratch every weird itch I have can be developed and released. It first happened in the early 2000s with Bloodrayne , a title featuring a feisty redheaded vampire clad in black leather slaughtering the Third Reich, and now it’s happening again with Guacamelee , which combines Metroidvania-structured platforming with the dizzying delirium of lucha libre cinema. From its birth lucha libre struck a chord with Mexico, becoming a bizarre pop culture phenomenon that saw the biggest stars of the sport starring in countless films. These luchadors were revered in their native country, and the heroic technicos (I’m not gonna get into the deeper aspects of it, otherwise we’ll be here a while) would find time to solve mysteries and fight the supernatural between exhibition matches. El Santo, Blue Demon, Mil Mascaras, and others would face off against zombies, Aztec mummies, vampires, and werewolves, usually in kicky 1960s outfits and always with their masks firmly laced to their heads. It’s a fascinating slice of pop culture history ...

Guacamelee – review

Tue, 14 May 2013 10:10:00 GMT

Source: www.guardian.co.uk --- Tuesday, May 14, 2013
PS3 PS Vita; Drinkbox; £10 Remember Super Metroid? Indie developer Drinkbox certainly does, but with their latest PSN title they've decided that what Nintendo's classic really needed was fewer bounty hunters and space pirates, and a whole lot more sombreros. Guacamelee follows the adventures of barrel-chested agave farmer Juan as he attempts to rescue the daughter of "El Presidente" from the clutches of evil skeleton bandit Carlos Calaca, a quest that begins quite badly when Juan is immediately killed in his first confrontation. All is not lost though, as the game takes a quick rummage through the big bag of crazy plot contrivances and pulls out a magical wrestling mask, which instantly resurrects Juan as a superpowered Luchadore. Thus equipped, Juan sets out across a beautifully stylised version of rural Mexico, to rescue the damsel, beat up all the baddies and generally be all heroic and stuff. Mechanically, Guacamelee plays very similarly to the Metroid and Castlevania titles it's primarily paying homage to. Juan runs and jumps his way through the non-linear 2D stages, battling Calaca's various skeletal minions and locating the necessary upgrades to his powers that will allow him access to new areas (these powers are mainly acquired by locating and smashing "Chozo" statues, in another nod to its inspiration). Upgrades range from the faintly ridiculous, like Juan's morph-ball-esque ability to fit through small spaces by turning ...

Sony reports that DrinkBox Studios' side-scrolling luchador brawler Guacamelee emerged as last month's biggest seller on the PlayStation Network, topping the PlayStation 3 and PS Vita sales charts in North America and Europe . Guacamelee launched in both regions the week of April 9, and was bolstered by a week-long sale for PlayStation Plus members. The game beat out Terraria and the downloadable version of Square Enix's Tomb Raider for the top PS3 chart spot stateside, and overtook Sony's Soul Sacrifice and Muteki's Dragon Fantasy Book I to lead PS Vita sales. Over in Europe, Guacamelee toppled PSN favorites Journey, Hitman: Blood Money HD and Crysis to champion the PS3 sales list, and outsold Urban Trial Freestyle and Sound Shapes in a no-holds-barred Triple Threat match on the Vita.

This episode of Couch Campaign features one of my favorite moments thus far in Guacamelee . Along the way, you find "Choozo statues" containing the special abilities which allow further progression in the world. The frequency of their appearance builds up an expectation for the player that one of these statues equals getting a new ability -- an expectation that can be exploited for comedic gain.
