Description
Take the place of an Aztec warrior favoured by the Gods to shoot down cosmic invaders. Armed with divine powers and weapons blast and run through hordes of enemies.
History
From the beginning we knew the direction we wanted for The Sixth Sun's gameplay, the intention was to make a 3D retro shooter were the player was restricted to close range combat - specifically a shotgun - and some other special ability that they would have to use to stay in the fight against numerous enemies.
At first, we were conceptualizing the game's environment as being set in an old secluded European village with the monsters originating from the the folklore usually associated with the area, featuring werewolves, vampires, imps and those sorts of monsters. However, when exploring different cultures for our game's possible setting, we were immediately drawn the Aztec civilization and its rich culture and mythology. The group quickly concluded that this was an amazing world for our player to explore and built the narrative around it, creating an interesting world with a character that is tasked with saving it.
