About

Shape the history of the Aztec Civilization, one legendary city at a time. From a single metropolis, to multiple city-states and finally an empire. Conquer the wilderness of Mesoamerica, build a nation and rise as its destined emperor - Tlatoani.

Immerse yourself in a detailed simulation of an Aztec city-state and its society. All citizens are individually simulated, with their own skills, needs, duties, faiths, moods and daily routines.

Gather and produce dozens of goods and resources to provide for your citizens. Develop your city-states’ economy through managing your treasury, services, military, festivals and religion. Every good emperor must first learn to be a good statesman.

Honor the old Aztec traditions of building symmetrical cities. Align, mirror and balance your city’s buildings, roads and layout to achieve perfect symmetry and please the gods, or face the consequences of disorderly city design.

Your cities exist within the broad Mesoamerica region. Engage in diplomacy with other city-states, trade, build alliances and conquer your enemies. Experience or change history in an extensive campaign, or play in scenarios and sandbox mode.

Engage with Aztec gods, festivals, calendar and traditions like human sacrifice. Learn old Nahuatl vocabulary, and lose yourself in old traditions, music and hand-drawn art bringing Mesoamerican world to life on your screen.

Super fun, classic-styled city builder, I was looking for one to scratch that itch and this just happened to be a new release, so I grabbed it. Fun to learn more about the time-period/region, breath of fresh air as far as these games go. At first I was worried the symmetry mechanics would be annoying, but found them to be pretty well integrated and intuitive, and only apply to some large buildings. Honestly does end up making your cities look real nice. Highly recommend if you're looking for an in-depth city builder.
Even though I’ve only played a few hours, now that the project has been put on hold, I’d like to do something for it maybe help promote it a bit in the Steam recommendations. The game is packed with content. It clearly has potential for replayability. And even though the project is unfortunately on hold, it already features a wealth of interesting mechanics. It also has excellent graphics and thematic music. I really hope a publisher will come forward who’s willing to financially support the game. It has everything it needs to succeed—it’s just as good as any other game—but unfortunately, there’s no marketing. I actually found out about it by accident myself.
Great setting with a nostalgic gaming experience.
It's the childhood dream that I had playing "Pharaoh".
Pretty good city builder
Demorei um pouco para pegar o jeito, mas adorei Tlatoani, até o título me lembra muito o Faraó da Impression Games. Torço para que os devs continuem expandindo o jogo, adicionando cenários e quem sabe expansões para os maias, purepechas e outros povos da Mesoamerica. Seria um sonho realizado se o próximo jogo deles seja no Império Inca ou nos territórios dos Pueblo.
Amazing spiritual successor to Caesar and Pharaoh.
Even if the developers never release another update for this game I definitively think this game is very well worth it, especially if you like historical city-builders and are interested in mesoamerican cultures. It can be quite addicting trying to get the "perfect layout" for your city, and this part of the game is very well-polished. My main criticism is that diplomacy and warfare can be quite dull, and that the building sprites don't rotate with the camera.
As someone who both enjoys Impression Games (Pharaoh and Caesar) and Aztecs, I really did enjoy this game. I do have a caveat: the military system sometimes feels a bit random in why you win/lose some battles, especially since you don't seem to have a way to check how strong your units are. Other than that, a great game, I'm enjoying it a lot.
Game is decent but looking bad on a QHD Monitor. Blurry Icons and Backgrounds even the Text looks bad and pixelated. Possibly worse on a 4K Screen.
