Combining Japanese language with Mexican folklore, Mariachi Legends was announced during the 2023 PC Gaming Show and looks like it will be a hell of a time!
From Mexican studios, Halberd, the game is a 2D adventure were you play as Mexican detective Pablo Cruz who is blessed with a mighty Mariachi suit that has special powers. He is selected by Lady Death to submerge himself into the underworld to combat those who stand against Death and retrieve a powerful amulet that will take away the majority of her power.
The game also boasts fast paced, platformer combat plus an assortment of Mexican inspired power-ups/abilities and chances to learn more about Mexican folklore through the characters Pablo will meet along the way. These power-ups and abilities come in the form of tarot cards and learning traditional Mexican recipes whilst grooving to a “haunting” mariachi soundtrack.
Mariachi Legends is in development for PC and we’re excited to learn more.
