Ahead of its debut on Xbox LIVE Arcade tomorrow, 22nd June 2011, Punchers Impact has revealed a new selection of screenshots taken from Lucha Fury. Lucha Fury is a scrolling Beat-‘Em-Up playable by up to four players simultaneously, and is also in development for PlayStation 3 and PC.
Surprisingly, Duke Nukem Forever JUST missed the cut.
Lol @ the video posted for blackwater. That game looks horrible.
Most of these are downloadable from the various stores and I haven't heard of half of them...
PlayDevil has posted an XBLA review of "Lucha Fury".
More:
"For the uninitiated the word Lucha comes from Lucha Libre which is a form of wrestling which stems from Mexico and features combatants known as Luchadores whom hide their true identities under masked guises."
Chris W. writes: "Lucha Fury is a good-looking game, and you can tell that Punchers Impact treated the game as a labor of love. Four luchador wrestlers (who are also slackers) come together to stop a shortage of their favorite energy drink only to stumble upon something more sinister; this is no normal shortage. Ancient Gods are stealing the world’s supply of Pollojo, because they don’t think the human race deserves to have it. Quite a silly premise for a story, but is it enough to keep you entertained throughout the game?"
It isn't in development for PlayStation 3 and PC anymore. The French studio behind it, Punchers Impact, was closed last May because of the Mindscape's lack of faith (their previous game, Crasher, was critically panned and the sales weren't great at all).
Even if Lucha Fury ends up being good, it's too late for the studio. But I find it hard to think the game was properly finished and polished if it's been 45 days already since the studio's closure.
