Doesn't fucking count.
I'm talking about a game where you actually play as a fucking Jaguar Warrior at the peak of native Mesoamerican civilization, battling spirit monsters and neighboring city-states in the dark heart of the jungle.
The overarching plot could revolve around the player working to garner the favor of gods and forge alliances to prevent the oncoming apocalypse.
Plot Twist: It turns out the apocalypse in question is the European invasion of North America

So, yeah, give me a mythical Mesoamerican Mass Effect.

>>
>>332556730
There's something about the idea of being in a gigantic amount of land with little human establishment is an amazing stage for a story. It brings such a focus out on the main character as an individual and grants them the chance to change from there established views to something else (see Lawrence of Arabia).
>>
>>332558164
I watched a movie that revolved around a group of romans fighting off vikings and that was band of brothers-esque but a game would be amazing. I would just like more historical games to do a better job at humanizing the characters and looking at their personal lives as well.
Unfortunately Assassins creed is the only series that does this to a point.
