It is set in the world of the Aztecs and is highly stylized. Unlike Viewtiful Joe, there is going to be a deep combat system not unlike Devil May Cry, God Of War, and Bayonetta. I want to create a combat system that provides many offensive options on a moment to moment basis, instead of one or two rigid attack inputs to mash on. Here is a post elaborating more on the direct influences. [...] [...] Aztez is a 3d game with sidescrolling beat-em-up gameplay in the vein of Viewtiful Joe.

It's not as absurdly difficult as most other arcade beat-em-ups of the 90's and yeah, Simpsons was the same way. From what I understand there is a conscious awareness among Japanese coin-op developers (which both AVP and Simpsons were made by) that Americans are more likely to dish out the quarters if it's not overly grueling.

Predator, what a great arcade game. One of the few games that I could roll through consistently with little to no extra money. It's probably memorable to me for that aspect in particular. I did enjoy the dependence upon your fellow players to do their part. That's sort of how Simpson's Arcade game was a bit too. Aliens Vs. Predator, what a great arcade game.
