Lienzo nos dió la oportunidad de probar su próximo título inspirado en los dioses aztecas en un futuro distópico, Aztech Forgotten Gods. Encarnaremos a una joven repartidora, quien ayudando a su mamá con un experimento, despertó varios dioses antiguos que ahora quieren acabar con todo a su alrededor y deberemos hacer lo posible para evitarlo.

Aztech Forgotten Gods is a fun action-adventure game set in a futuristic Mesoamerican city. The visuals are great – not the best in its class – but more than enough to immerse you into the game. Pacing is a little slow yet it is the perfect mix of story, action, and lore. 

Aztech Forgotten Gods tries and that's probably the best thing I can say about it. Lienzo journeyed forward with lofty ambitions and, like Mulaka before it, has laid down a foundation that makes me excited for their future projects. Gaming is a better place when stories like this, using atypical mythology, get to be told. Like Achtli, the studio will hopefully continue to grow and learn from its missteps to become the best it can be.

While Lienzo’s spectacular universe is a triumph in Aztech: Forgotten Gods, the game lacks the polish it needs to propel it from being average to something truly unique.

Sometimes a game that just misses the mark on really coming together is still worth playing thanks to the parts of it that go above and beyond. Aztech Forgotten Gods is a game with a great central gimmick and a good core story, both of which are more than worth experiencing even if, as a whole, it just isn’t quite able to coalesce. It's just a shame that the promise of its best facets isn't deliver on when it falters on some of the more basic elements of its design.

En definitiva, deciros no saber muy bien como he terminado más satisfecho de lo que me esperaba de este Aztech Forgotten Gods. Y es que tras un juego lleno de problemas que lo vuelven caótico, descontrolado, y técnicamente desfasado. Hay algo que te engancha a su mundo, a su combate y, a su experiencia frenética de acción y exploración. Haciendo llevadera todas las taras que nos plantan en medio de esta distopía azteca. Que quizás con una mayor posibilidades monetarias, técnicas y personales podría haber llegado a mucho más. Pero que se ha quedado en esta experiencia de lo más extraña.

Nonostante le buone premesse, Aztech Forgotten Gods finisce con il deludere sotto quasi tutti gli aspetti. Storia e ambientazioni dimenticabili, personaggi scritti in maniera mediocre e un comparto grafico disastroso finiscono con lo schiacciare quanto di buono effettivamente svolto da Lienzo. A partire dal sistema di movimento e dalle ispirate boss fight. Ciò detto, la bilancia globale pende comunque verso il basso, e anche di parecchio. La nostra speranza è che il prossimo progetto dello studio messicano possa rendere maggiormente giustizia alle qualità intraviste in Mulaka.

Although it has enjoyable movement and a solid story, Aztech Forgotten Gods feels like a shell of a game that's been stitched together.

Pour conclure, Aztech Forgotten Gods manque de folie ou simplement d'objectifs. Quelques donjons supplémentaires, avec des énigmes ou autres auraient pu faire la différence. Sans ça, on est uniquement là pour faire d'interminable aller/retour, afin de tuer des boss. Et voilà. Le monde ouvert est vide, et ne nous propose rien à voir. C'est dommage. Un jeu loin d’être à la hauteur de ce qu’on avait en tête.
