Skip it if you…
Saves you a refund- Players seeking a linear sequence of self-contained levels may find the branching adventure structure less suitable.
- Players looking for modern climbing, shooting, or extensive character progression may find the puzzle-focused scope limited.
- Players who do not want an arcade-adventure game centered on exploring a pyramid are unlikely to find a match.
Our take on Paganitzu
Rather than treating an arcade game as a chain of isolated stages, Paganitzu frames its puzzles as a continuous pyramid expedition. Multiple routes, missable scenes, hidden rooms, and a three-part plot replace a purely completion-focused structure.
What is Paganitzu?
Guide Alabama Smith through a dangerous Aztec pyramid in a puzzle-focused arcade adventure.
The journey has three parts: releasing a spirit, searching for clues to stop it, and discovering the pyramid’s true nature. Different routes can lead to the winning goal, while hidden rooms, secret treasures, situations, and animated sequences offer discoveries beyond a single completion. The pyramid presents new dangers and settings as the story progresses, including a fiery section with new graphics and hazards. Players can save and restore up to five games. Partial Xbox 360 controller support is included.
