The game draws its inspiration from traditional Mexican culture and folklore, and features many interesting and unique characters. 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.… Expand

    Guacamelee! Super Turbo Championship Edition isn't a vapid rebranding or a blatant cash-in, but a welcome infusion of the original game with new areas, monsters, and bundled-in DLC.

    It’s fun, creative, and lasts just long enough to make you wish there was more. This is the definitive version of Guacamelee! and quite possibly the best next-gen game currently available.

    A longer running time helps address one of the few flaws with the original game, and single-handedly makes up for the lack of official new Metroid and Castlevania games.

    Guacamelee is a fusion of intense platforming and beat-em-up combat, framed in Metroidvania conventions and topped off with a memorable cast, distinct setting, a stellar soundtrack, and zesty humor. These ingredients combine to make for a flavor that’s genuinely fresh and incredibly satisfying.

    Guacamelee was already a great game, and while not all of the extras for Super Turbo Championship Edition are beneficial, it's tough to say the grand experience isn't better for their inclusion.

It is a great platformer with (unlike the other) Bundled in DLC and other new areas to explore. It has lush animated graphics and environments. In short, get this game!… Expand

    GUACAMELEE! SUPER TURBO CHAMPIONSHIP EDITION

    The definitive guacamelee
    Guacamelee is a metroidvania meats brawler game where you play as a luchador that sets out to save the daughter of el president
    And the super turbo championship edition makes this must play classic even better, expanding its world, adding bosses, abilities story and adding in about 2 extra hours of gameplay
    So if you haven’t played guacamelee before, this is the version to get…
    This metroidvania took me around 6 and a half hours to complete and can be played with up to 4 player cooperatively…
    After hearing so many great things I as excited to go back and play this game before guacamelee 2 came out, and boy am I happy I did…
    admittedly guacamelee took so time to grow on me.. I didn’t instantly fall in love… at first I was a little confused why everyone loves it so much… sure the art style is nice and the game is full of humor.. But the gameplay, the platforming... it all felt super simple and button mashy… but as the game goes on it just gets better and better…
    no 2 hours of this game feels the same… the game slowly spoon feeds you new abilities that are mostly for traversing, allowing you to go back to past areas if you’d like for its collectables to help upgrade your health or endurance, but these also double as combat moves for the challenging and constantly engaging combat moments…
    the game increasingly gets challenging with both its platforming as well as with its enemies it introduces.. So you never feel like you’re just going through the motions... every minute of this game is engaging and keeps you hooked… there are costumes you can unlock to challenge you more or balance the character more towards your play style.. This is such a complete package from start to finish, a world that entices you to explore for its secrets, so many moments I would laugh out loud at the dialog, decently challenging bosses...
    I actually felt like bosses were more of the time to relax and breathe before you’re thrown back out into platforming through this world… guacamelee is wonderfully placed and is a must play game for platforming fans or metroidvania fans alike
    I give GUACAMELEE! SUPER TURBO CHAMPIONSHIP EDITION

Got couple of laughs during the story but voice acting would have completed it. Some moments of platform jumping puzzles took me away from the enjoyment but they can be overlook. Mainly I took two points away from the perfect score because this genre is dated.… Expand

Ils ont dû utiliser leurs règles toute neuves qu'ils avaient reçues pour la Rentrée, ceci expliquant cela.

    C'est évidemment de la plate-forme mongolienne et on regrettera l'absence du petit plombier à moustache ainsi que de tout champignon magique. On se consolera en tapant sur des tonneaux de tequila et Dieu sait qu'il en faut de la tequila pour "jouer" à un truc pareil.

    On cognera aussi sur des ennemis échappés du folklore mexicain, on bourrinera plutôt dessus puisqu'il faut les taper comme dans un jeu de baston et enchaîner les cons-bos, dans cette version "Super Mongolito **** Edition" ici.

    Voilà donc l'étron criard et de mauvais goût et "frais", tellement "frais" qu'on te l'emballe dans du papier-journal comme la poisscaille avariée du marché. Du coup, la console se met à sentir très fort, il faut tout passer au karcher après !    … Expand
