New levels, new enemies, and a whole lot of INTENSO!

The award-winning game gets a massive boost to Steam! Super Turbo Championship Edition was released to multiple gaming consoles last month, but the people at Drinkbox Studios didn’t want to leave PC owners left out! For those of you not in the know, let’s look at some of the things that this new version of Guacamelee holds for you! Hit the jump.

Today, Steam owners get to purchase a revision of one of the most highly-praised games of 2013. With the original Guacamelee receiving awards such as Destructoid’s Best of 2013, IGN’s PSVITA Game of the Year, and Playstation Blog’s Editor’s Choice Award, Drinkbox Studios decides to spice things up a bit with even more amazing content, all in one videojuego loco.

You begin as the main protagonist, the lowly Juan, who makes a living farming agave. He is rather close with El Presidente’s daughter, as they grew up together. She also admires Juan who, as you find as you progress through the story, has an unwavering resolve when it comes to protecting those he cares for the most.

One day, the village of Pueblucho is attacked, and the mysterious evil known as Carlos Calaca attempts to abduct El Presidente’s Daughter. Coming to the rescue, Juan readies to foil Calaca’s plan. However the supernatural being proves too strong for Juan, sending him to an undesirable fate, spiraling into the Land of the Dead. Calaca proves successful in kidnapping El Presidente’s daughter.

However, all was not lost. During his time in the Land of the Dead, he finds a luchador by the name of Tostada, who bestows upon him a mask capable of turning the lowliest of agave farmers into a proud and strong warrior! With his newfound strength and previously mentioned unwavering resolve, he vows to rescue El Presidente’s daughter from the clutches of Calaca, and defeat him before he shrouds the entire mundo (world) in darkness!

Super Turbo Championship Edition  adds more than just a few levels and enemies for you to pummel to a pulp of pollo, however. Costumes new and old can be purchased with a new currency, silver, found in numerous chests throughout the game. This way, you can keep saving your gold towards the purchasing of abilities that will strengthen your character for the perilous trials ahead.   Also a new method of quickly dispersing your enemies is called INTENSO (yes, in all caps).

INTENSO is gauged by a new bar of meter below your stamina blocks. The INTENSO bar can be filled by performing well in combat or breaking appropriately-labeled barrels that are placed throughout the world. This mode gives your luchador a super steroid, dramatically increasing power and speed. Upgrades can also be purchased to add more intensity to INTENSO, such as being able to break an opponent’s shield with a single punch!

Steam owners now get to try this new experience hands-on. For a limited time, new purchasers get a nice 10% discount off Super Turbo Championship Edition’s price of $14.99. An even sweeter deal for owners of Guacamelee Gold Edition is a 66% discount, meaning you can own G:STCE for only $4.99!
