Skip it if you…
Saves you a refund- Players seeking a purely real-time beat ’em up may dislike the turn-based campaign decisions and limited deployments between battles
- Players wanting a fixed, predictable campaign may bounce off the changing events, artifacts, and encounters across play-throughs
- Players looking for a cooperative action RPG with loot, pets, and character leveling may prefer Dungeon Defenders: Awakened
Our take on Aztez
The likely bounce point is the limited-deployment campaign layer: players who want to chain fights without strategic scheduling will encounter it before entering combat. Those expecting a fixed sequence may also resist the changing events, artifacts, and battles between runs.
What is Aztez?
Aztez combines real-time beat ’em up combat with a turn-based campaign set in the Aztec Empire.
Players deploy elite close-combat warriors on missions, choosing carefully because deployments are limited. Battles involve historical warriors and mythological enemies, eight weapons, combo scoring, sacrifices, and summons of Aztec gods. Campaign events, artifacts, and encounters change between play-throughs. The game includes cities, natural landscapes, and the Aztec underworld, along with more than 70 cosmetic items to find and equip. A separate arena in the capital offers combat without the campaign structure.
