It’s an isometric citybuilder game in the style of Caesar and other Impressions Games titles, but with an Aztec theme, and is very well researched (I helped out a bit!)
Check it out if you can, it’s 30% off for $13 for the launch!
The Impressions Games formula is legendary, and seeing someone apply that same tight resource and walker mechanics to Mesoamerican civilization instead of the usual Roman or Egyptian setting is refreshing. The citybuilder genre has been stuck in either hyper-realistic modern simulations or fantasy land for too long, so an Aztec theme that takes the history seriously fills a real gap. Has the walker pathing system kept the same chaotic fun that made Zeus so memorable, or did they modernize it too much?

2: No bigotry or gatekeeping. This should be obvious, but neither of those things will be tolerated. This goes for linked content too; if the site has some heavy “anti-woke” energy, you probably shouldn’t be posting it here.
3: No untagged game spoilers. If the game was recently released or not released at all yet, use the Spoiler tag (the little ⚠️ button) in the body text, and avoid typing spoilers in the title. It should also be avoided to openly talk about major story spoilers, even in old games.
