Aztaka Review

The guys at Square Go took Citérémis' side-scrolling RPG Aztaka for a spin, and have arrived at a somehwat favorable score of 6/10.
As with most RPG games you can tool your character up as levels increase, buy items from the 'shop', even if you are standing several leagues from the shopkeeper and upgrade statistics to make the fights easier. All these elements are again handled well once you get past the lack of instruction.

Citeremis have almost transformed old-school stylings into something new, but not quite. For every great point of development there is a lil' devil lurking around in the background. These aren't actual coding faults but issues that cause gameplay to suffer. It's great to see new developers re-work old ideas in a fresh format and in the end Aztaka holds its own, but play the free demo available on the site, before parting with valuable cash, to avoid disappointment.
