One of the longest titles of a game I’ve ever played. It’s one of the two free games for PS+ members, on the Playstation Store. Grab it while you can. Dan’s played this game, and it actually looked really fun. He even recommended it.
This game… this game is just so silly. Chickens that cannot die, others that actually talk to you (plus one calling themself the “Combo Chicken”), a guy being the “king of the Goat-Men”, and humor all around.
You play as Juan. You start out as a nobody who looks very worn out and wishing they could go back to bed. Your main objective is to prepare for a festival of sorts. It does go wrong when bad guys kidnap the leader’s daughter, and you’re killed… that is until you manage to find a mask who a mysterious person shows up to tell you, how this mask found you.
The mask will get you back into the world of the living, and you to be a hero; a ‘Luchador’. A Luchador is basically a freestyle wrestler who’s very strong and just as brave.
The dead walk again(aka skeletons), and you’re the only one that stop them. How? The title has an obvious word in it; “melee”. Punching things is what you do, and preforming combo moves is how you do it. In the later game, it challenges you to use these combo moves.
Time for my final review;
Good:
-It’s funny when it wants to be.
-In certain situations, it reminds the player what moves would work best for that area.
Bad:
-If you don’t speak Spanish, you may have a hard time understanding some of the dialog.
Overall, I like it. This is a keeper, and better than the last games.
