Aztech Forgotten Gods Reviews
When weighing its successes and shortcomings, Aztech Forgotten Gods manages to stay airborne but never truly soars.
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.

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.
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.
Overall, Aztech: Forgotten Gods is a great palette cleanser compared to the more expansive and open-world type games you see in recent years. The charming story, satisfying gameplay loop and a well-realized world with believable characters, helps the game punch above the weight of a typical indie game.
Overall, Aztech Forgotten Gods is a really great time, even with its stumbles. It’s a beautiful world with a character you can see yourself in, especially if you’ve lost a loved one. Additionally, the design of the gods is a sight to behold. Truthfully, I can’t wait to see what other stories Lienzo tells next.
Aztech Forgotten Gods is a short game, but very solid and entertaining. Overall, it's a great achievement as a concept and a good job by a Mexican studio. There is nothing like it and that is to be recognized. I highly recommend it for those who enjoy action games and have little tolerance for frustration : there's nothing particularly challenging outside of figuring out boss weaknesses. In short, Aztech Forgotten Gods is good evidence of the potential of Latin American studies, a metaphor for the prosperous future that opens before our eyes as we fly through the fictional Tenochtitlan alongside Achtli.

Even then, I struggled to put Aztech Forgotten Gods down once I started playing it. As I said at the outset, Aztech Forgotten Gods is perfect imperfection. While I can't ignore its faults, I found myself significantly more enamored with its successes.
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.
Despite a strong score and fantastic mythological inspirations, Aztec Forgotten Gods is a flawed game with uninteresting combat and flat story.
