Guacamelee! Super Turbo Championship Edition is a 2D action platformer game developed and published by DrinkBox Studios. It was originally released in 2013 for PlayStation platforms, and then later ported to other platforms such as Xbox, Nintendo Switch, and PC. The game has received critical acclaim for its unique gameplay, charming visuals, and humorous storytelling.
The Storyline
The game follows the story of a Mexican farmer named Juan Aguacate, who lives a simple life in the rural town of Pueblucho. One day, an evil skeleton named Carlos Calaca kidnaps the town’s beloved El Presidente’s daughter, and Juan is killed while trying to save her. However, he is revived by a magical luchador mask, giving him the power to transform into a powerful luchador, and thus begins his journey to save El Presidente’s daughter and defeat Calaca.
Gameplay
The gameplay of Guacamelee! Super Turbo Championship Edition is heavily inspired by Metroidvania games, with a mix of beat ’em up and fighting elements. Players control Juan as he explores the vibrant world of Mexico, fighting enemies and completing challenging platforming sections. As players progress through the game, they unlock new abilities and upgrades, allowing them to access previously inaccessible areas of the map.
One of the unique aspects of the game is the use of a dual-reality mechanic, where Juan can switch between the living and dead worlds at certain points. This mechanic adds a puzzle element to the game, requiring players to use it strategically to progress through the game.
Super Turbo Championship Edition Features
The Super Turbo Championship Edition of the game includes all previously released downloadable content (DLC) and adds new levels, enemies, and abilities. It also introduces a new boss, an expanded story, and gameplay tweaks based on player feedback.
Another significant addition to the Super Turbo Championship Edition is the “Intenso” mode. This mode allows players to build up a meter by performing combos and then activate it, giving them increased strength and speed for a limited time, making it easier to take on tough enemies and bosses.
Visuals and Sound
One of the standout elements of Guacamelee! Super Turbo Championship Edition is its gorgeous visuals and lively soundtrack. The game takes inspiration from Mexican culture and folklore, and it shows in every aspect, from the vibrant color palette to the character designs and environments. The soundtrack is a fusion of traditional Mexican music with a modern twist, perfectly complementing the action-packed gameplay.
Final Thoughts
Guacamelee! Super Turbo Championship Edition is a must-play for any fan of action platformer games. Its unique blend of Metroidvania and beat ’em up elements, along with its charming visuals and humorous storytelling, make it a truly enjoyable gaming experience. So grab your luchador mask and get ready to save the day in this quirky and fun game!
