Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U eShop | 2 Comments
Team Colorblind’s debut title Aztez is coming to Wii U, PS4, Xbox One, PS Vita, PC, Mac, and Linux, the studio announced today.
Aztez is a turn-based strategy title that has players expanding and maintaining the Aztec empire while also managing violent outbreaks in real-time beat ’em up sequences. Each game is said to be unique. According to Team Colorblind, “different events will occur, different challenges will emerge, and different spoils will be taken each time you play.”
You can find a trailer for Aztez above. It’ll be released later this year.
Thanks to LetsPlayWiiU and Brandon for the tip.

Hex Heroes planned for Wii U
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U eShop | 1 Comment
Prismatic Games is planning Hex Heroes for the Wii U eShop, an exclusive real-time strategy game for the console. Here’s what you should know:
– One players is the commander
– Commander makes executive decisions, manages resources, and surveys the broad map from a god-like GamePad bird’s eye view
– Other player chooses different classes
– Classes have unique abilities
– Classes go directly onto the map, with an individual point of view
– The second player tries to build up their city, fortify it, explore dangerous new territories, and fight off enemies
– Start a game by choosing 2 of 8 skills (classes) that create a unique combination in what each player brings to the table as an asset to his team
– Ex: Rogue/Archer combo provides stealth/range; Woodcutter/Knight is well-rounded; Woodcutter/Scout is more of a support type
– 4 different players choose their combinations and join together as a team
– Eeach game will have its own strategical way to win
– Asymmetrical gameplay
– Mario Castañed (The Bridge) chose the visual style
– Visuals are simple in complexity
– Graphics are meant to give off the feeling of being inside a strategy board game
– One player will have the bird’s-eye-view of the board game map, while the others will look like little figuring pieces in a board game
– Grant Kirkhope on board for the soundtrack
– Kickstarter should be up on March 25
