Luchador Juan Aguacate is drawn out of retirement when trouble threatens the Mexiverse. His adventure takes him through colorful worlds connected by rifts in time and space.
Fight skeletal foes with wrestling moves and special attacks, chaining techniques into combos. Precision platforming and puzzles call for quick use of Juan’s abilities, including powers that let him move between dimensions.
Explore a large map, find upgrades and secrets, and take on challenges from trainers. Juan’s chicken form has its own combat and traversal abilities, and the story can be played in drop-in, drop-out local co-op for up to four players.
Players often praise the energetic combat, satisfying combos, and platforming challenges, along with the colorful presentation and music. The expanded chicken abilities and comic tone also stand out for many. Opinions differ on the challenge: some find the demanding platforming rewarding, while others consider it frustrating. Humor and writing are similarly divisive.
Brawling has never been more beautiful! The long-awaited sequel to the smash hit action-platformer is here: Guacamelee! 2 brings luchador Juan Aguacate out of retirement for a stunning new Metroidvania-style adventure.
Explore a huge, hand-crafted world inspired by Mexican culture and folklore, filled with sassy new villains and weirdos (and a few old friends!). Learn a deep repertoire of bone-crunching moves to fend off the skeletal hordes and overcome a multitude of platforming challenges.
...and who said anything about a Chicken Illuminati? Certainly not us!
New moves like Eagle Boost, Pollo Shot and more add to Juan’s arsenal of combat and platforming abilities.
New powers for Juan’s chicken form! Ridiculous chicken-based platforming, combat and exploration. More chicken than you’ll be able to handle (probably).
An epic adventure through the worlds of the living and the dead, across rifts in time and space -- more gorgeous than ever thanks to a fancy new rendering engine.
Bigger maps, twice as many enemy types as the first game, and a roster of eccentric new bosses.
Discover “trainers” from around the world, defeat their challenges, and upgrade your abilities.
Soundtrack featuring new music from the composers of the original Guacamelee! OST, plus tracks from special guests Mariachi Entertainment System!
Drop-in / drop-out 4-player local co-op through the entire story.
