Statue destroying simulator is great!

Lucha Libre + Metroidvania = This.
Nice blending of two elements we could not imagine that would work, my feelings overall with this game is that I did have a good time.
I've beat this before back in 2019, but to be honest, did not remember its content that much, so I revisited it and beat it again in even less time, as I was already used to the core gameplay, which is basically put people down using punches and wrestling moves, sounds fun, huh?

As expected, there is a lot more Mexican culture references here, like the Dia de Los Muertos atmosphere, nicely implemented on the lore and in-game mechanics, you cannot say that it has no identity, because it does.
However, can not help but mention that it can be somehow a forgettable experience, as it happened to me, I mean, it's not bad, but just not extraordinary.

You have a great challenge here, some sections really put me in trouble (and frustration) due to the enemy's flood on the screen. There are also some good gimmicks here that will require more platforming skills from you, that part in particular annoyed me a bit in some parts, as the platforming mechanics are not a high point here, as sometimes they can feel a little bit slow.

Regular enemies can be repetitive at some point, and the bosses are great, but not very striking, aside from the flame-head guy and Calaca. I also found the colorful shields mechanics a bit overused, being a core element for every fight, changing only the moves of the bosses.

OST is fine, it fits the game, nothing epic, and the graphics remind me 2000's Cartoon Network flash games, so, a nice nostalgic touch for me.

Gameplay in other hand is pretty satisfying, striking enemies and making different combos, mixing basic moves, special moves and throws is fun as hell, making it a unique title among the genre. The colored blocks as a metroidvania core mechanic is well implemented and simple, the map is also fine and objectives are pretty clear here, making this game a great entry title for those who are trying to get into the genre.

Honestly... This game is fun. But that's about it. It's just dumb fun. There's no real challenge. There are some video game references (mostly Nintendo games) but the jokes get old really quick.

And something's really wrong with this game's audio mixing. Some sound effects are obnoxiously loud and the music really overstays its welcome. I'm not sure if it gets better later on but the game really holds your hand, showing you where your objective is and where you should be going next. You can't really sequence break either as you need to follow your objectives to get your power-ups one by one. This game felt like a really shallow Metroidvania.

The sprites remind me of SpeedRunners and the cutscenes are very nice. But the gameplay... It just bored me.
