Guacamelee!: The World Needs a Hero




Guacamelee! is an Metroidvania action-platformer game developed by Drinkbox Studios. You will play as Juan Aguacate, a Mexican who sets out to save the world when the El Presidente's daughter is kidnapped by Carlos Calaca, the Evil Charro Skeleton. The story is based on Mexican culture, and takes place in and around a small village in Mexico.

You can swap between the dimension of “The Living World” and “The Dead World”.  

At the beginning of the story, Juan was nothing but a agave farmer, then he realizes his destiny as the luchador hero of Pueblucho. Though the story is cliché, it’s good enough because there are other things in the game that are fascinating – such as its unique and gorgeous art style.



The other thing  is the combat system. It consists of melee attacks such as punches, grapples and throws. You will unlock more powers as you play, such as uppercuts, a mid-air dodge roll, ground pounds and chicken power (turning to a chicken). These will help in fighting and traversing the environment.

This game is not released yet, but I really wish to play it!!! Here is the trailer:
