Guacamelee! is a heavily-stylized Metroidvania Lucha Libre Beat 'em Up for the PlayStation 3, PC and Play Station Vita developed by Drinkbox Studios. The game draws its inspiration from traditional Mexican culture and folklore. Guacamelee! builds upon the classic open-world Metroidvania style of games, by adding a strong melee combat component, a 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. The game was released on April 9, 2013 in North American territories, just five days after the release date was announced. The Super Turbo Championship Edition version was announced later, and has been released for Xbox One, Xbox 360, PlayStation 4, Wii U, Steam and Nintendo Switch.The story consists of agave farmer Juan Aguacate being invited to the Día de los Muertosnote That's "Day of the Dead" in Spanish in case you were wondering. festival to help out with the festivities and getting acquainted with an old childhood friend, El Presidente's daughternote named Lupita in the sequel. However, disaster strikes in the form of a lich named Carlos Calaca kidnapping her to use her as a virgin sacrifice for merging the World of the Living and the World of the Dead together to rule over them both. Despite his best attempts to stop him, Juan is swiftly slain by Calaca as El Presidente's daughter cries out his name...Sometime later, Juan awakes in the World of the Dead, and after wandering about comes across a statue with a luchador mask on it. There, he meets a spirit named La Tostada who tells him that due to Calaca's meddling, the two worlds are in danger and that the mask appearing before him shows that he might be the one to stop him. Thus, Juan dons the mask and begins his journey to stop Calaca and rescue El Presidente's daughter.Despite being an indie game, it was pushed fairly heavily on the Play Station Network due to being one of few games to fully support the Cross Play feature. Transferring saves from the Vita to/from the PS3 is relatively simple, and buying the game for one system also buys it for the other.A sequel titled Guacamelee! 2 was released in 2018.

Multi-Mook Melee: The Caverna del Pollo dungeon contains three sets of floors that pit you against several waves of enemies, even though you haven't encountered them yet in the proper story walkthrough. Only Olmec's Headbutt and Dashing Derpderp are required to break the necessary blocks.

Multiple Endings
 Guacamelee! (Video Game) / int_1aa08f77
comment
Multiple Endings: The normal ending is bittersweet. Even after you defeat Calaca, you were too late to stop the ritual, and El Presidente's Daugher dies. Juan moves on with his life, and can even be happy again, but he never takes off the Mask of the Luchador and never finds love again. In the end, he takes off the Mask, allowing himself to die and rejoin his beloved in the land of the dead. The Golden Ending is unlocked by collecting all five/six Mask pieces at the altars of Chac Mool (the final one is always given to you at the end,) thereby proving your mastery of the game. The Mask of the Luchador is destroyed, resuscitating El Presidente's Daughter and letting Juan remain among the living. She marries Juan, and they move on to an incredibly happy marriage together, with Babies Ever After.

Necessary Drawback: All of the DLC costumes give you an advantage in one gameplay factor, and a disadvantage in another factor as a trade-off. For example, one costume gives you regenerating health, but gimps your stamina in return.

comment
Stealth Pun: Jaguar Javier plays a traditional Aztec jaguar warrior, wearing the garb and wielding the macana and shield. But more than that, he's an actual jaguar. So he IS a jaguar who is a warrior. The Final Battle is advertised as "Máscara contra Calavera" (Mask vs. Skull) Some of Mexican lucha libre's biggest, most celebrated fights have been "Máscara contra Cabellera" (Mask vs. Mullet) During the credits for the Golden Ending, a sharp-eyed player will spot El Presidente's Daughter's name: Lupita. Meaning, they're Juan and Guadalupe. St. Juan Diego and the Virgin Mary of Guadalupe are the most iconic religious figures in Mexico.

Mayincatec: No Incas in sight, but the environments smoothly and accurately blend Mayan and Aztec traits in the temples and enemies, with a small cameo from Olmec art via the Olmec Heads that teleport you to and fro. The Temple of Rain in particular bears heavy Mayan influence, with Kukulkan motifs everywhere, while the Temple of War is lousy with Toltec engravings and Atlantean columns.

 Guacamelee! (Video Game) / int_2bdae2ae
comment
Awesome, but Impractical: Combo Chicken can teach you about fairly impressive combo attacks, but you're unlikely to ever use them outside of their one instance of training. For one thing, it can be hard enough to get the timing and button sequence down on a punching bag enemy that is stationary and doesn't fight back. Weaker enemies don't have enough health to make the combos really worth it, while harder enemies generally have shields, dimension phasing, or dodge moves that wouldn't really allow you to make use of extended combos anyway. And if that wasn't enough, the environment itself may work against you by making certain moves a bad idea (e.g. a frog slam when all you have are a few floating platforms). Basic attacks, throws, and short combos will probably carry you through most or all of the game.

The Alebrije costume turns the wearer into a Glass Cannon being able to kill anything very fast; however, the wearer will also take a lot of damage if he/she gets hit by anything. That makes it especially useful to complete the challenge in El Infierno where Juan/Tostada is a One-Hit-Point Wonder.

The first is Diablo's Suit, which regenerates health when attacking enemies. Sure, it has less maximum health, but with health upgrades it's still a decent amount, and the regenerating health can more than make up for that restriction anyway. If you're reasonably good, you should have no trouble beating the entirety of the Caverna del Pollo Bonus Dungeon with it.

 Guacamelee! (Video Game) / int_3ac5110b
comment
Unintentionally Unwinnable: Can happen due to ignorance and the lack of game restrictions when it comes to exploring. You can already gain access to the Caverna del Pollo if you have Olmec's Headbutt to destroy the yellow block. The Dashing Derpderp is also required to clear the blue block before the third set of floors. What the game doesn't tell you about the third set of enemy waves is that there is an enemy with a purple barrier than can only be destroyed using the chicken's egg bomb ability (obtained from getting silver medals on El Infierno challenges). You can still beat said enemy if you have the Intenso upgrade that instantly breaks enemy shields. If you don't even have that Intenso upgrade, there's no way that you could beat this purple-shielded mook no matter what you try. Fortunately, the player can just simply exit the game and be teleported back to the nearest checkpoint, but at the expense of losing any newly-collected coins from that unsaved run.

The normal ending is bittersweet. Even after you defeat Calaca, you were too late to stop the ritual, and El Presidente's Daugher dies. Juan moves on with his life, and can even be happy again, but he never takes off the Mask of the Luchador and never finds love again. In the end, he takes off the Mask, allowing himself to die and rejoin his beloved in the land of the dead.

Catastrophic Countdown
 Guacamelee! (Video Game) / int_438d70f1
comment
Catastrophic Countdown: Exploders aren't typical Action Bombs in a sense that they are stationary aside from having color-coded shields as their gimmicks. But let just even one of them to tick past their countdown, the resulting explosion will damage your luchador regardless of your location on the area. Elite Exploders are much more durable, yet still retain the same 10-second cooldown before they explode, with even more damage.

Death Is a Slap on the Wrist: When you run out of health, you just respawn at the nearest checkpoint with full health (although you may have to retrieve some collectables again, since progress isn't saved after dying). In co-op, you just have to wait a small amount of time before you can respawn on the spot.

It is defeated by luring him onto a bridge, then hitting a switch that causes the bridge to collapse, a tribute to Super Mario Bros., where Mario defeats Bowser the same way.

The Unreveal: Despite her status as the Mask's Guardian, first showing up in the World of the Dead, and wearing a mystical mask herself, La Tostada's identity, origin, or even motivations (beyond simply helping Juan out of the goodness of her heart) are never explained. The Super Turbo Championship Edition gives her some backstory though; Tostada was once a hero who helped save her fellow villagers from being killed by an erupting volcano, performing a Heroic Sacrifice. They live in Canal de las Flores now and have memorialized her. There are wooden carvings of Tostada scattered around the area as well.

Disc-One Nuke: In the STCE version of the game, all costumes are bought with a new, separate currency: silver. The amount you can get is limited, but even so if you hoard it and seek it out as much as possible in the early stages of the game, you can unlock some powerful costumes like the Skeleton Luchador or Diablo Suit before entering the Tule Tree. The latter is especially notable, as it could be considered a late-game Infinity +1 Sword in previous versions of the game.

Punny Name
 Guacamelee! (Video Game) / int_6d7026fa
comment
Punny Name: Juan Aguacate - "aguacate" means "avocado" in Spanish Fray Ayayay (Fray = Friar; the pun lies in the repetition of the "ay," which means "ouch!" in Spanish.) X'tabay - "Estaba ahí/[it] was there" note Besides the pun, X'tabay is a figure of Mesoamerican mithology: Carlos Calaca: Calaca = Slang for skeleton. El Pueblucho - Shantytown. Additionally: "pueblo" + "lucho", where the latter means "[I] fight." Santa Luchita - "Luchita" = "Small lucha" or "Small brawl", a pun on the name "Lucía"/"Santa Lucía," and translates directly as "Holy Brawl." La Tostada saved a town from a volcano, dying in the process. Aside from being a Mexican dish (a deep-fried tortilla that is hard but brittle, loaded with toppings), "tostada" is Spanish for "toasted." Pico de Gallo is a type of salsa; it is also a bilingual pun for both "rooster beak" and "rooster peak". The Pico de Gallo of Guacamelee is a mountain, therefore, a peak.

Guide Dang It!
 Guacamelee! (Video Game) / int_6ec989d8
comment
Guide Dang It!: One of the Chac Mool gateways is located underneath Juan's house. In order to access the crawl space, you need to shift into the world of the dead at the very bottom of the house, but you wouldn't know this without a guide of some serious curiosity as there isn't the usual sparkle effect that denotes when a wall doesn't exist in the other world. The timed skull switch in the forest. It leads to one of the Chac Mool gateways, but to reach it in time you first have to figure out where the entrance to the path is (marked by a statue and a "not yet explored" smudge on the map), try and fail to open it, connect it to the skull switch, and finally realize that you can only get there fast enough by using Goat Fly on the hill the switch is under. The chicken flight ability. Unlike every single other powerup in the game, you never get a fancy Item Get! screen or any explanation at all when unlocking it, instead just getting a nebulous "You feel lighter" message after getting enough pieces of the Mask. If you don't use your mighty chicken powers much you can go the rest of the game without knowing it's there.

Bait-and-Switch: At one point in the game, the Goat Hermit is so upset with you breaking his Choozo Statues that the next, easily-accessible statue you break contains nothing. You even get a "Power up!"-type screen where the luchadores indeed, get nothing, and just stand there looking dejected◊. In the Tree Tops bonus area, after a series of grueling platforming sequences, you meet a chicken who tells you that you're halfway up. On the next screen, you see the easily-accessible exit from the area, with another chicken nearby who says "Ha ha! Psych!"

Numerical Hard: The hard mode you unlock after beating the game mostly just increases the damage enemies do to you.

Difficult, but Awesome: The Skeleton Luchador outfit negates any means of recovery aside from checkpoints, however you'll have infinite stamina, which gives you freedom to spam your techniques all over the place. Thanks to this perk, it becomes very useful in boss battles, especially so against Carlos Calaca. The Alebrije costume turns the wearer into a Glass Cannon being able to kill anything very fast; however, the wearer will also take a lot of damage if he/she gets hit by anything. That makes it especially useful to complete the challenge in El Infierno where Juan/Tostada is a One-Hit-Point Wonder.

Infinity +1 Sword
 Guacamelee! (Video Game) / int_a5e02e9e
comment
Infinity +1 Sword: Three of them. The first is Diablo's Suit, which regenerates health when attacking enemies. Sure, it has less maximum health, but with health upgrades it's still a decent amount, and the regenerating health can more than make up for that restriction anyway. If you're reasonably good, you should have no trouble beating the entirety of the Caverna del Pollo Bonus Dungeon with it. The second is the infinite chicken flight ability from collecting the five/six special mask pieces that you can get before finishing the game. Both are likely to only be unlocked late in the game though, as Diablo's Suit is the reward from beating at least 10 of the 17 challenges in El Infierno with gold medals, which can be quite challenging and requires you to have unlocked most or all of the progression powers anyway. The Updated Re-release allows you to actually buy the costume, but unless you go out of your way to find silver coins or start a New Game Plus, you're not likely to get it early either. It is not surprising that infinite chicken flight is unlocked by the five/six mask pieces, as just getting to the beginning of their areas can be Guide Dang It! obscure, let alone actually completing them as they are among the hardest challenges in the game. There's also a third that counts in certain contexts. The Skeleton Luchador can't heal from enemies but has infinite stamina for spamming special abilities. Since special abilities are also necessary for various platforming challenges, this costume can be very useful for them, especially the timed ones in El Infierno where you might otherwise have to spend a little time regenerating stamina.

South of the Border: The game indulges in traditional stereotypes of dusty desert towns, sarapes, charros, mariachis, luchadores, broken English peppered with Spanish, Day of the Dead paraphernalia (including allusions to Catrina-style skeletons,) jungle temples, May Inca Tec environments and enemies, Dashing Hispanic, Spicy Latina, and peasants in jorongos and shawls. However, it's all done in a deliberate celebration of the more exotic aspects of Mexican tradition, so it doesn't come off as offensive.

In general, falling into Grimy Water or bottomless pits will just quickly put you back on a nearby safe platform without dying or even losing health. Similarly, getting stuck in a wall when you shift dimensions pops you out without harm. These features make many (but not all) platforming challenges less frustrating and makes it more reasonable for you to stumble upon the various hidden areas as you don't really have to fear dying from exploring.

Celestial Bureaucracy: More like Infernal Bureaucracy. What we see of El Infierno is a huge law firm ("Devil's Advocates") full of skeletal accountants and clueless undead clerks. It even comes with broken elevators, vending machines and parody motivational posters with hangmen and skeletons!

Forced Transformation: Carlos likes turning his foes into chickens, which eventually bites him in the ass when he does it to Juan/Tostada. The Devil also decided that he prefers being a chicken than his normal form, even though he knows how to turn back (he's the one who teaches you).

Brutal Bonus Level
 Guacamelee! (Video Game) / int_be3e7584
comment
Brutal Bonus Level: Three of the five/six optional Chac Mool altars test your skill at different aspects of the game: First, say hello to Tree Tops, a lengthy gauntlet of platforming accessed through a blue block at the root of the Tule Tree. Every single special power you get from a Choozo Statue is needed, a load of stamina is needed, and a load of patience is needed. Then, stay for dinner at la Caverna del Pollo (the Chicken Cavern) beneath Santa Luchita. A mine with three downwards shafts, each of them filled with enemy arenas of increasing difficulty. The third and final shaft, leading to the Chac Mool, throws the absolute toughest enemies of the game all at once at you. And finally, say goodbye to your sanity at the Cueva de la Locura (the Cave of Madness), at the easternmost corner of the Sierra mountains. It consists of a gauntlet of Bottomless Pits with evil disappearing blocks that require split-second timing, memorization, pixel-perfect precision, and far more patience than the average Goat Hermit. And whether you fail at the beginning or the end (and you will) you must clear each room in one go. El Infierno, chock full of trials that pushes the player's abilities to the limit from platforming to combat. Earning the Gold Medal in each room is a rage-inducing challenge, though you fortunately only need to collect ten of them to reach Chac Mool.

Did You Just Punch Out Cthulhu?: Calaca and X'tabay turn The Devil into a chicken, and Calaca usurps his title as lord of hell. Calaca as the final boss becomes a monstrous creature and refers himself as a god of both worlds. Nevertheless, Juan/Tostada beats the crap out of him.

The chicken flight ability. Unlike every single other powerup in the game, you never get a fancy Item Get! screen or any explanation at all when unlocking it, instead just getting a nebulous "You feel lighter" message after getting enough pieces of the Mask. If you don't use your mighty chicken powers much you can go the rest of the game without knowing it's there.

Take Your Time: Twice, the Goat Hermit outright tells you to go and prepare yourself before the challenge ahead: when you first open the way to the Floating Temple, and right at the Point of No Return (immediately before the Final Boss.) That's your cue to finish up the sidequests, bonus levels, round up chickens, reunite dead girls with their dolls, capture thieves, find missing mariachis... Don't worry, the ritual won't happen until you're actually at the altar itself.

Anti-Frustration Features
 Guacamelee! (Video Game) / int_d6f284a3
comment
Anti-Frustration Features: When playing 2-player mode, one of the players can transform into a bubble at the touch of a button (to change back, the other player needs to punch the bubble.) This can eliminate the telepathy-level synchronization needed for two players to get past some of the more challenging platforming puzzles, as one player can hang back and let the other one do it at their own pace. In the Tree Tops segment, there are several barrels containing healing orbs as there are also many spikes and saws along the way to the top. You WILL need them. In general, falling into Grimy Water or bottomless pits will just quickly put you back on a nearby safe platform without dying or even losing health. Similarly, getting stuck in a wall when you shift dimensions pops you out without harm. These features make many (but not all) platforming challenges less frustrating and makes it more reasonable for you to stumble upon the various hidden areas as you don't really have to fear dying from exploring. The Goat Climb and Goat Fly maneuvers double as a Rooster Uppercut and Dashing Derpderp respectively when it comes to breaking blocks or enemy shields. The game auto-saves your progress the moment you half the boss HP of El Trio de la Muerte. If you die during their second phase, you will respawn at the nearest checkpoint but the boss fight will start on the second phase immediately when you retry fighting them.

Videogame Cruelty Potential: You can kick, punch, bash, grab, and smash chickens (and even their tiny baby chicks!) to your heart's content. They won't retaliate, they'll just run away. If you finish Combo Chicken's challenges, wherein you use the good-natured skeleton luchador Poncho as your punching bag, the last combo proves too much for him and he dies for real. Turns out he was Combo Chicken's only friend. The method you obtain power-ups is by breaking the Goat Hermit's priceless statues. He is not happy about this arrangement. When playing co-op, players can leave a single enemy alive and have one player grab the mook and throw it to the other player, who can also grab the mook and throw it back, this doesn't seem to increase damage or anything and with proper timing, players can spend a good while playing catch with the helpless victim.

Mix-and-Match Critters: Alebrijes are quasi-mythological creatures, mostly seen in traditional Mexican folk art, that consist of very colorful mashups of many different animals (which themselves might be mythical or not). Carlos' giant pet is described by X'tabay as "a fish crossed with a cat-snake," and even then she falls short of what it really looks like.
