Aztech Forgotten Gods Reviews
The game has stunning visuals and a great storyline but the janky camera, limited control options, visuals, and audio hold it back from getting a perfect score. If you are interested in air battles, movement, and a great story, then go ahead and punch your way in Aztech Forgotten Gods.
Ultimately, Aztech Forgotten Gods is a decent outing with its intriguing heroine and equally intriguing world of massive boss fights. It certainly has the potential to be a great game, but its graphics and gameplay mechanics need more refinement before it can reach that level. For now, these gods risk being forgotten again.
Aztech Forgotten Gods is a game that undoubtedly comes with issues in general feel when playing, and the questionable design choice in going with an open world. Having said all that, Aztech Forgotten Gods is also an experience that is loaded with such heart and ambition that it’s impossible not to enjoy your time spent in this world with this fantastic cast of characters. If you’re someone who can look past the rough edges that likely resulted from a modest budget, then I would definitely recommend joining Achtli in her conflict that not only pits her against the titular Forgotten Gods, but also her own inner demons in a way that will resonate with many.
Overall, Aztech Forgotten Gods is a fairly decent game. It has some great cultural references and decent gameplay, but is lacking in other areas more common with modern games. It also suffers the fate as many other story-driven single player games. There isn’t really much to look forward to seeing different on another playthrough. I’d have to give it the Thumb Culture Bronze Award for these reasons. Check out my previous reviews here.
Aztech: Forgotten Gods had an interesting premise and promised to embark on a story that would stray from what we usually see. However, the plot is quite common and could be located in any people or place in Western culture. The battles against the gods, sold by marketing as the main course, are actually very punctual and poorly executed due to camera and movement problems. The various technical flaws are worthy of a title from the beginning of the 3D era, but difficult to overlook in the current moment of game development.

In conclusion, Aztech Forgotten Gods is a fun title with a cool movement and combat idea that was implemented fairly decently. The game isn’t very long, but is full of a charm that is quite nice to see. While there are a few technical issues and a lack of explanation for some of the abilities you get, Aztech Forgotten Gods was still quite enjoyable.
Despite a strong score and fantastic mythological inspirations, Aztec Forgotten Gods is a flawed game with uninteresting combat and flat story.
Aztech Forgotten Gods' janky mechanics, hideous presentation, and drab narrative make for an experience worth going the way of the forgotten gods themselves—don’t waste space in your memory for this one.
Aztech Forgotten Gods is a simple and straight-to-the-point title that manages to thrill throughout its journey. The dynamic of short story snippets interspersed with frantic combat is efficient to entertain and maintain a pleasant game rhythm. The controls make the first combats confusing and it takes some getting used to, but the qualities stand out throughout the story, not making the experience frustrating.
