Guacamelee 2
7 Indie Games Worth Having on Your Radar This Year
We all liked Guacamelee right? Or at least most of you did? OK well cool, so no objections to more Guacamelee right? Awesome. The first game, was a bizarre lucha-lore driven metroidvania with a satisfying combo system, visually pleasing aesthetics, and a light-hearted and fun story. Guacamelee 2 based on what we played at PAX East and EGX Rezzed, is shaping up to be all of that again, but more.
The developers noted to us that they didn’t want to mess with what was fun about playing as Juan in the first game, so instead of changing that around for the sake of changing things around, they infused all their new ideas into Juan’s chicken form, which is greatly expanded in Guacamelee 2. You’ll be able to play most of the game just as the chicken if you wanted to, as it has a completely different fighting style that can now stand on its own. You’ll be unraveling a chicken illuminati plot, which explains why chickens are way more pronounced in Guacamelee 2.
At the end of the day, more Guacamelee is good thing. And if whether you played the first or didn’t (but especially if you liked the first one) you should be keeping the sequel on your radar because it’s looking like it’s going to be great too.
It will be out sometime this year on PS4.
