Set in and around a small village in Mexico, Guacamelee! is an action-packed, 2D brawler/platformer that alternates between the worlds of the living and the dead. Inspired by Mexican folklore, players take control of a down-on-his luck wrestler named Juan Aguacate, as he fights through hordes of undead enemies and skeleton henchmen to stop the evil Carlos Calaca from gaining ultimate power by sacrificing the beautiful "El Presidente's Daughter.”
While on a quest to save “El Presidente’s Daughter,” Guacamelee! has players smash, grab and pile drive enemies into a pulp as they travel through alternate dimensions, including “The World of the Living” and “The World of the Dead.” The game offers luchadores cross-save support between the PlayStation 3 and PlayStation Vita systems, as well as cooperative play for same-screen multiplayer throughout the entire story on PlayStation 3.
