Welcome to the list of 12 video games featuring tribes from Mesoamerica such as Aztec, Maya, Zapotec, Olmec, and Toltec. However, I’ve included Inca themed games too even though Incan Empire was located in Andes Mountain range of South America. Only because they are culturally very similar.
NATIVE AMERICAN GAMES < Cherokee, Apache, Iroquois, Navajo, etc.
What would be the common theme of games about Mesoamerican tribes? Oh, nothing, just human sacrifice, constant wars amongst tribes, and Spanish (conquistadors) invaders. Once you play games about Aztecs, Incans, and the Mayan, check out the conquistador games too for experiencing other side of the coin.
If you have time, go watch the movie Apocalypto and TV series Hernan too for ultimate Mesoamerican experience!
