Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
It remains a rare fusion of Metroidvania exploration, combo-driven brawler combat, and demanding platforming, all wrapped in a riotously colorful world inspired by Mexican folklore and pop culture.
106 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
It is basically G1 with a SLIGHTLY new story and new levels.
105 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
You will get about 10 hours of well-designed metroidvania gameplay excellence.
58 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
The hand-drawn art style is bold and expressive, with fluid animations that make combat and movement feel alive.
41 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
I still give this a thumbs up, because the game is still playable in coop and has this great luchador atmosphere, design and music that lets the series stand out from the competition, but I also leave the game finished with some reservation.
