Guacamelee! builds upon the classic open-world Metroid-vania style of games, by adding a strong melee combat component, a new dimension switching mechanic, and cooperative same-screen multiplayer for the entire story. The game also blurs the boundaries between combat and platforming by making many of the moves useful and necessary for both of these.\n\nTravel through a mystical and mysterious Mexican world as a Luchador using the power of your two fists to battle evil. Uncover hidden wrestling techniques like the Rooster Uppercut, and Dimension Swap to open new areas and secrets.\"\n\nGuacamelee! was later released on PC under the name \"Guacamelee! Gold Edition\" with the DLC included and has an updated version called \"Guacamelee! Super Turbo Championship Edition\" with an expended story, 2 new areas, and a new boss.","145527\u002Fguacamelee_webp","145527\u002Fguacamelee_header_webp","https:\u002F\u002Fyoutu.be\u002FemtBP3DEFHw","2013-04-09",84,4838,"guacamelee",null,[19,24],{"company":20,"developed":22,"published":23},{"name":21},"Spike Chunsoft",false,true,{"company":25,"developed":23,"published":23},{"name":26},"Drinkbox Studios",[28,29,30,31,32],"Platform","Puzzle","Hack and slash\u002FBeat 'em up","Adventure","Indie",[34,35],"PC (Microsoft Windows)","PlayStation 3",[37,53,69,83,97,109],{"id":38,"author":39,"outlet":42,"summary":48,"review_url":49,"review_date":50,"original_score":51,"normalized_score":52},40244,{"id":40,"name":41},1939,"Anthony John Agnello",{"id":43,"logo":44,"name":45,"website_url":46,"score_format":47},12,"https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.criticdb.com\u002Fstorage\u002Fv1\u002Fobject\u002Fpublic\u002Favatars\u002FOutlets\u002FDigital-Trends-Logo.jpg","Digital Trends","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.digitaltrends.com","5","“Drinkbox’s third game is a gorgeous bruiser built on old ideas, but stacked with originality.”","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.digitaltrends.com\u002Fgaming\u002Fguacamelee-review\u002F","2023-04-24","4.5",90,{"id":54,"author":55,"outlet":58,"summary":64,"review_url":65,"review_date":66,"original_score":67,"normalized_score":68},48086,{"id":56,"name":57},4080,"Robert Ramsey",{"id":59,"logo":60,"name":61,"website_url":62,"score_format":63},63,"https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.criticdb.com\u002Fstorage\u002Fv1\u002Fobject\u002Fpublic\u002Favatars\u002FOutlets\u002FPush-Square-Logo.jpg","Push Square","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.pushsquare.com\u002F","10","Besides being a brilliant pun, Guacamelee! is a potent mix of platforming and brawling, wrapped-up in a cartoon-styled Mexico.

It left me wanting more. Guacamelee is one of Vita’s best games, a top echelon PSN game for PS3, and DrinkBox Studios’ best effort to date.
