Tlatoani: Aztec Cities has about 158 positive and 30 negative player reviews out of a total 188. We'll add a detailed breakdown here when there are more reviews.

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.
