Viva Sancho Villa is a colorful hack-and-slash platformer where players will face several enemies while controlling Sancho Villa, such as Alebrijes (artistic, colored sculptures of fantastic creatures), Luchadores (wrestlers) and other colorful creatures. The brave skeleton will also face the generals of the empire, as huge bosses at the end of some stages. Alongside the promise of action, René Hernandez from 2d Nutz also explained the game will be filled with “Mexican humor, urban legends, and mariachi music. This is México.” During the game, players will be able to upgrade their weapons, learn new combos, earn power-ups, and even get pets. Perez also said the game will combine “the best of a platformer with kick-ass combos and power-ups.”

Currently, 2D Nutz is trying to fund their game through Kickstarter, where they’re asking for $20,000 to release a PC version of their game. Pledges starting at $15 guarantee the backers a copy of the game upon release, which is set to Q1 2016.
