It's a motley crew, to be certain. But if anybody can save the world from chicken-oriented doom, I don't see any reason why it can't be four energy drink guzzling luchadores. Here you'll meet the heroes of the Xbox Live Arcade brawler, Lucha Fury, and see some of their moves. Somebody gets urinated on in this video. Honest.
I'm seeing some combo stuff at work in these snippets of gameplay and that interests me. I would like to see more than just the big guy tossing other people around, however. Princess Acky's effect on those large groups of enemies looks pretty useful too. I'm starting to get a little excited for this, truth be told.
I love the concept of this but the game play looks clunky and the visuals look jagged. Hope the final product smooths that out a bit cause this definitely has potential.
I'll just add in my usual thoughts. I've watched every episode released and I still don't understand the massive praise for the show. It's entertaining sure, but it doesn't really do anything different or better than any other show has done in the past. It's just pretty much average.
Played the demo this morning because I love Beat-em ups and it was clunky, slow and unresponsive as hell. I'm all for games being silly, funny, and strange sometimes as long as they're fun and play well, but even I was like this is just weird. I feel they spent more time on the style than substance on this one. Maybe a purchase if it goes on sale, maybe.
