Done masterminding? Go for a slashing! Every once in a while it feels good to just let it rip, and with Team Colorblind's Aztez, a subversive mix of strategy and beat 'em up where you can both think things through and then head right in for the killing, that's a real deal.
In Aztez, you are responsible for expanding and maintaining the Aztec empire with turn-based strategy gameplay, and managing violent outbreaks in real-time beat 'em up gameplay segments. But your actions in one gameplay type directly affect the other! A game of Aztez doesn't take too long to play, but it is designed to be hugely replayable, as every game of exciting empire management is different from the last; different events will occur, different challenges will emerge, and different spoils will be taken every time you play. Inspired by the timeless surprise gameplay of Weird Worlds: Return To Infinite Space and the deeply and expressive action gameplay of Bayonetta, Aztez is like no other game you've ever played.
When will it be coming out you ask? Wrong question. Calendars, dates, that's really a Mayan thing. Beat the crap out of the devs for a straight answer? Has been tried. Didn't do much better than yield a next year ballpark though...
