Aztaka - novo jogo "indie", 2D e "old school".
Parece ter a "velha magia" que os jogadores "old school" conhecemos bem. Passo adiante a quem interessar.
A priori era só para informar a existência do jogo, mas já que está tudo aqui, por que não fazer logo deste o tópico oficial?
O jogo acaba de sair para o Direct2Drive (há três dias: SEM DRM e disponível para compra em todo o mundo) e, embora não seja fã de jogos tipo arcade ou plataforma, parece também misturar tanto elementos como jogabilidade dos antigos títulos de adventure e RPGs em 2D. A pista de que seja um híbrido entre os dois estilos foi o "level up" que aparece no trâiler.

Prologue
It is here, on this respected Gaia, that the Ancients discovered the path to spiritual enlightenment, leading their spirits to rest eternally in the Heavens. In their great wisdom, the Ancients left behind mystical Keys to allow Men, once wise and worthy, to leave this underworld and join their elders by journeying on the Path of the Gods…
Men witnessed it…
It’s in these dark hours that in the heart of Mexico, a stranger arriving from the north entered the city of Tenochtitlàn. There, he kneeled down facing the rising sun and announced the coming of a prophet whose destiny would be to free the Aztec people from its misery. He told the citizens that this half-god would have the strength and courage needed to gather the mystical Keys of the Path of the Gods and that his unshakable faith would allow him to defeat the Evil Essence that was plaguing the world.
...........................................
As the stranger was leaving the city, Coatlicue, a woman of great beauty who was sweeping the courtyard of the Tzintzuni Temple, felt a deep change in her. When a hummingbird’s feather graciously fell on the ground next to her feet, she knew she had been chosen to bear the Sun God’s child…
The hummingbird witnessed it…
At the infant’s birth, the stranger came back. He took the child, named Huitzilo, under his wings, teaching him the doctrines and beliefs of the Ancients. He cherished Huitzilo like a son and shared with him all his knowledge. When Huitzilo reached the age of 17, he decided it was time for him to accomplish his destiny. He picked up his spear and his shield and headed for the Path of the Gods. Only there he could find the Keys needed to lead his people to salvation…
And the Sun witnessed it.
The World
The Aztec
The story takes place in 1328, on the anciant Mexican land long before the Spanish conquest, where only, except nature and Aztec villages could be seen. These peoples were very advance for their time and had a very precise knowledge of time and astronomy. They were hunters and farmer and their rivals were the nearby villages and the jungle.
With their own beliefs they sacrificed humans so they will get the favor of the gods and that a new year would come that way. They fear that the world would end by the extension of the sun (god of the sun)

The Earth witnessed it…
Entangled on Earth by greed and skepticism, Men still prospered, thanks to their knowledge and resourcefulness. To honor the Ancients, now considered as half-gods by many, they erected temples, high as mountains, across the lands. However, as years went by, they slowly started to forget about their divine origins and began worshipping false gods…
The Moon witnessed it…
Centuries passed and their civilization was nearing its apogee. Their world collapsed in a matter of weeks: the sky was tore apart by furious storms, endless rains flooded the harvests. Weakened by hunger, entire herds were falling prey to a malicious sickness. Desperate for food and resources, neighboring cities engaged in savage and bloody territorial wars. Mass sacrifices were ordered by Priests in a foolish attempt to calm the wrath of the Gods. The people was slowly falling asleep, soothed by a mysterious Evil Essence. The mutism lasted 300 years…
