As we foresaw, Epic Games Store, will give us the Guacamelee series! It is available from 15 to 22 June, on their platform. Guacamelee!

Let’s see in detail something more about these two games…
The Farmer and the most beautiful girl in the world
Guacamelee! Super Turbo Championship Edition is an action platformer in which you will have to fight as a “luchador” against the evil Carlos Calaca and his hordes of undead henchmen to free El Presidente’s daughter, the most beautiful girl in the world.
Carlos Calaca has kidnapped the President’s daughter to sacrifice her and unite the World of the Living and the World of the Dead. Juan Aguacate is an agave farmer who, after accidentally finding the mask of a legendary luchador, fights as the hero he always dreamed of becoming to defeat Calaca. Not for himself, not for Calaca, but for El Presidente’s daughter, the most beautiful girl in the world. He explores a mystical Mexican landscape as a luchador, using the power of his fists to battle evil.
He uses grappling techniques like the Grouse Upright and Dimension Shifting to uncover new secrets and access new areas.
Game features:
- Use fighting moves to take on opponents and platforming challenges
- Traverse multiple overlapping dimensions (World of the Living and World of the Dead)
- Toggles 2 player local co-op throughout the story

Guacamelee! Super Turbo Championship Edition – Addon
