Welcome to Lucha Libre Hero, the game of heroic masked Mexican wrestlers dedicated to combating evil in the ring and on the streets of Mexico City. Inspired by the extensive film legacy of such popular figures as El Santo, Blue Demon, and Mil Mascaras, Lucha Libre Hero pits heroic Luchadores against the supernatural monsters, mad scientists, and menacing mobsters that populate the world of classic Mexican cinema - not to mention the ever-present menace of their malevolent wrestling enemies!
