Aztecs: The Last Sun is a new video game where you play as the leader of an Aztec city called Tenochtitlán. You help your people build houses, find food, and protect everyone from danger, like the Moon Goddess’ curse at nighttime. Each choice helps your city grow or stay safe. Sometimes, you need to keep your city safe by making tough decisions. The game shows how people once lived in before the Spanish came to Mexico hundreds of years ago. Players get to think about where houses, canals, and jobs should go, all while making the city bigger and better. The team that made the game worked hard to make everything look and feel real, and they learned from history experts to get it right. Anyone who likes games and learning about Mexico’s past will enjoy building and exploring this amazing ancient city!
