Epic Store free games: 22 June

Developed by DrinkBox Studios, Guacamelee! Super Turbo Championship Edition and its sequel Guacamelee! 2 are 2D Metroidvania-style action-platformers steeped in Mexican folklore.

‘Super Turbo Championship Edition’

As Juan Aguacate, a simple farmer turned legendary Luchador, you’ll embark on a thrilling journey to rescue El Presidente’s Daughter.

Swap between the realms of the living and the dead, master melee combat moves, and enjoy the fun with up to three friends.

Note: the turbo edition carries an IARC restriction of 12+ for mild swearing and mild violence.

‘Guacamelee! 2’

The sequel, Guacamelee! 2, pulls Juan Aguacate out of peaceful retirement to grapple with new adversaries, explore an expanded universe, and gain fresh abilities.

This includes – much to anyone’s delight, really – an oddly adorable chicken form.

Guacamelee! 2 features a dense and colourful world filled with cheeky bosses, enemies galore and, of course, 300% more chickens. Don’t ask…

Do you like Luchadors? Goat-men? Flaming Bandidos? Explosive-laying chickens? Three-headed Mariachi Bands? If you answered “NO” to any of these questions, WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU?

Note: the sequel carries an IARC restriction of 12+ for moderate violence.
