Tlatoani: Aztec Cities

Ok so I decided to play a bit. Then I noticed that it was three hours later and I hadn't noticed the time passing. So yeah. This is a pretty chill and nice city builder. My friend laughed that it looks 20 years out of date graphics wise but I don't mind the look as the the engine under the hood works well.

I'd give this a solid 8/10. Overall, a great game, plenty of minor bugs and tweaks to work on, but plenty to applaud. I'd really like to see more buildings released, especially more of a variety in terms of building styles, such as alternate pyramid and housing designs/styles/colors, perhaps a deeper focus on the ballcourt and ballgame, maybe even embedding a mini-game to simulate matches which could for example, grant temporary farm production boosts if a victory, or incur some form of penalty like temporarily lower combat strength.

Tlatoani is still being developed but I'd be happy to say yes and recommend this game to anyone that enjoys city building/management style games. There is already a wealth of content in game, and although the graphics are quite simple that has been great, runs well on pretty much any hardware, and still looks great. Also, big fan of the fact it includes a map editor, I haven't made my own map yet but did experiment with it to see what features are available and can definately see myself coming up with some fun/interesting maps in future. Would highly recommend this to anyone that enjoys city building with a focus on Aztec's, and I'll certainly be updating my review once the full version plus any DLC get released.

E um jogo de gerenciamento interessante, que dá para gastar umas boas horas nele, e com um preço bom. Recomendo

pretty cool

I wouldn't recommend it in the state it's in.

This brings me back to the deep min maxing zen city building games like Caesar, Pharoh, and other impression games. It scratches a specific itch for those who stayed up way too late building and refining grid cities when they were kids 30+ years ago. While this game visually looks like it could have come out 20+ years ago that is a major part of it's appeal to me. It feels vintage. I don't need a 3d animated world with warriors clubbing each other with ray tracing dlss frame gen'd modern interpretations of graphics along with an 100g install size and 60 dollar price point. I'm here to put squares into an isometric grid of squares while balancing efficiency and aesthetics and the evolving needs of the citizens to make the most majestic city I can in one of the most interesting historical eras and this game delivers [b] exactly [/b] what I wanted. The best way I can sum up Tlatoani is this..... Never before have a played a game where I've spent 15 minutes comparing the best possible placement for a poop collecting building but yet loved every single minute of it knowing I assigned a common citizen to just clean up noble/royal palace poop in the most efficient way possible.
