Guacamelee 2, everyone’s favorite Mexican-themed co-op-multiplayer dimension-swapping Metroid-vania beat-em-up platformer is back!
Eagle boost
One of the early new powers you can expect to unlock is the Eagle Boost, a
hooking mechanic which allows Juan to attach and fly through “boost points”
in the environment. As the name implies, you can use this new ability to fly
higher than an eagle (cue Bette Midler).
Super chicken
The original game let players transform into a chicken to squeeze into small
spaces, but was otherwise fairly limited in its usefulness. In Guacamelee! 2,
the chicken form will have a unique set of abilities, allowing us to give the
player more varied and interesting chicken gameplay.
New environment mechanics
We’re introducing several new environmental mechanics throughout the course of
the game to keep players on their toes. These new mechanics complement both the
platforming and combat elements of the game. One example of this is “Dimension
Waves”, moving windows of space that give players a view into another
dimension. Differences in both the environment and enemies will occur as these
windows move through the world, and players will need to use them to their
advantage to make progress.
Four-player local co-op
While Guacamelee! 2 can be played from beginning to end as a solo experience,
you can also have friends jump in at any time to help out! The difficulty of
enemies will scale to keep things challenging as players drop in and out.
