The definitive version of the smash hit Metroidvania-style action-platformer, Guacamelee! STCE adds new levels, powers, challenges and refinements to the sprawling, ridiculous, Mexican-inspired adventure of the original Guacamelee! Gold Edition.
Players can chain together various punches, kicks, and special wrestling moves into satisfying combos to take down foes. The "anti-gravity" mechanics allow players to juggle enemies in the air, adding depth and creativity to the combat. Additionally, many of the combat abilities, such as uppercuts and ground pounds, also serve as traversal tools, seamlessly blending the platforming and fighting elements.
As players progress, they gain access to abilities like instantly swapping between the worlds of the living and the dead, wall-running, double-jumping, and transforming into a chicken. These abilities aid both traversal and combat, adding further mobility and platforming depth. Mastering these abilities is key to overcoming the game's challenging environments.
Each new ability the player learns, whether it's a powerful wrestling maneuver or a utility skill, opens up new ways to approach fights and access previously blocked areas. This creates a rewarding loop of exploration, combat mastery, and platforming that keeps the gameplay fresh throughout.
The game requires precise jumping and use of the player's abilities to traverse the environment. Later areas introduce complex, timing-based platforming challenges that test the player's skill. Though difficult, the controls are responsive enough that deaths feel fair, encouraging players to improve rather than becoming frustrated.
The game features seamless four-player local cooperative play, where each player can independently swap between the worlds of the living and dead. This co-op mode allows friends to tackle the combat and platforming challenges together, adding an extra layer of complexity and chaos.
