Guacamelee! 2, the sequel to one of our favorite titles of 2013, has been available since August of this year and allows players to power-bomb all new enemies in all new environments. One of the main ways the game spices up its four player local co-op is through the use of different "skins", which each player can select and use to alter their playstyle.
Even after tackling all its challenges and achieving the “true ending” for Guacamelee!, I wanted more; more of its unique brawling action, more of its self-aware humor, and more platforming challenge. Guacamelee! 2 delivers all of that (and then some), but after 5 years between games, “more of the same” may not be what I act...
Drinkbox Studios is almost ready for everyone to enjoy their action-platformer/"Metroidvania" title, Guacamelee! 2. This sequel (and the developer) promises a whole lot more of everything. A bigger world to explore, more moves to unlock/refine/use, and more secrets to uncover. There's even an entire secret "Pollovania" area, for all you chicken lovers out there.
One of the more charming, interesting, and fun "Metroid-vania" style games I've played in the past few years was DrinkBox Studios' Guacamelee! During Sony's pre-show conference yesterday for Paris Games Week, the sequel got announced. Get ready to rrrrrrrrrrruuuuuummmmbbbbbllllleeee!
While there’s certainly advantages to living in a gaming era that emphasizes online co-op, couch co-op games will always hold a special place in many of our hearts. Therefore, we (the folks at Co-Optimus) were extremely pleased when the recently released Nex Machina brought back this nostalgic experience in fine form. As a game developed with...
Oh, look at that. A bunch of Wii U and Nintendo 3DS games are in a bundle! The Humble Nindie Bundle sticks eight games together for a pay-what-you-want price tag and delivers downloads for both of Nintendo's current-gen systems. Only two of the games have co-op, but cheap Wii U games are cheap Wii U games, yeah?
Bundle Stars has put the finishing touches on a brand new pack of games for the end of the month, and it's got a whole lot of co-op for not a whole lot of money. The Indie Legends Bundle includes some famous releases from the last few years like Monaco and Guacamelee along with a few Early Access and single player games.
Playstation Network has started up a two-week-long sale on spooky games and movies as befits this time of the year. Each week will have a slew of Halloween-esque sales: up to 65% off for everyone, and up to 80% off for PS Plus members. And the good news is that there's a healthy dose of co-op games included in the sale!
Luchadores don't get a whole lot of positive rep in video games. Sure, a couple grace the rosters of a handful of fighters, but most games have our heroes and heroines fighting against the forces of hyper-muscular, well oiled wrestlers. Luckily for masked, enthusiastic meatheads everywhere, Guacamelee! Super Turbo Championship Edition exists to squelch the stereotype of the luchador villainy. And for those of you who missed out on the console versions of the Day of the Dead Metroidvania stomp, it's coming to Steam tomorrow for $14.99.
Bundle Stars has pushed out another super-cheap collection of indie games, and this one might be of particular interest to you. Included in the Titanium Bundle are three co-op titles: Space Farmers, Terrorhedron, and Guacamelee! Gold Edition.
It's a surprisingly busy week for early July with a handful of co-op games coming out. It's a good way for you to escape the summer heat, by staying indoors and cooling off with some couch co-op games. It's almost as refreshing as the pool, and likely, less wet too!
Announced earlier last month, Drinkbox Studios is bringing an all new Guacamelee game to consoles this July: Guacamelee! Super Turbo Championship Edition. While it might be up for purchase for many of the consoles, the Xbox One will be offering it for free to Xbox Gold Members.
