Holy Guacamelee! We take a look at some new DLC costumes.

Guacamelee! Costume Pack DLC 1We really loved our time with Guacamelee, and any excuse to hop back into the luchador’s mask and spandex is one worth taking. Developer Drinkbox Studios has released a new costume DLC pack that actually adds a few new changes to the already rock solid gameplay.

For $1.99/ €1.59/£1.25, you get three new costumes to outfit your Mexican matman and woman, and each one not only provides some hilarious cosmetic changes, but also transforms the play experience ever so slightly. One costume fits you inside a giant chicken suit, granting you a recharging health meter while making your stamina meter harder to refill. Another costume turns you into a bull fighting skeleton, giving you a ton more stamina, but health pick-ups don’t do anything. Lastly, you’ll get the ability to wear the costume of your co-op partner, increasing melee damage, but decreasing throwing capabilities. The costume pack also allows players to choose either Juan or Tostada, regardless of who is first or second player. Each costume can be switched out at the various shops that are strewn about each level.

You’ll also got a few extra trophies that take advantage of each of the various costumes you can pick from. For instance, you’ll be rewarded with a trophy for getting through one of the hardest sections of the game with the Skeleton, or for talking to specific green sombrero-capped chickens while wearing the Pollo Luchador costume.

The DLC doesn’t add any new quests or areas to explore, but at just shy of two bucks, you’re at least getting more than cosmetic changes with these costumes. It may not be enough to drag you back in if you’ve spent a ton of time in Guacamelee’s world, but it’s worth at least another run through if you’ve only played it once. Grab the Costume DLC pack from the PSN store on both PS3 and Vita now.

I've been gaming since my dad made the bad decision of buying me a Nintendo when I was four years old. Every day I'd find myself with my face glued to a TV screen, punching away at buttons, getting furious with Bowser, Dr. Wily, and those freakin' birds in Ninja Gaiden. Since then I have failed to get my parents to play any board game with me, I sold my full copy of Earthbound with box and guide for $300 to some dude in Austria for rent money, and I still believe in Nintendo even after all these years.
