Spread, Strengthen, Subjugate! Aztez Slices On To PS Vita And PS4

This is starting to get a tad silly now, Sony announced four indie games earlier for PlayStation 4 and now yet another one has shown up, namely Aztez.

“At its core, Aztez is two games,” explained artist and combat designer Ben Ruiz. “One of those games is a full on real-time beat ‘em up combat experience. We’ve piped in the feel and creativity of Bayonetta, the sensationalism and mobility of Capcom’s Alien Vs Predator, and the precision difficulty of classic Devil May Cry.”

“As the combat designer, I’ve been studying these types of games for years,” he added, “And I refuse to produce and hand you something that won’t dangerously raise your heart rate and dopamine levels. I grew up in the arcade, and I want to do for you what the amazing developers of yore did for me with their coin-ops.”

The other half of the game is an empire management strategy element. “It might be an overly unusual combination,” said Ben, “But the way we see it, it can’t be any worse than grabbing more ledges or pushing around more blocks. And besides, if you do well in our strategy game, you might get to do some pretty profound history rewriting.”

I think this looks the most enticing of the five recently announced PS4 indie games, which do you prefer?
