Spain during the reign of King Philip II of Habsburg: with the beginning
of naval expeditions to the new land, a golden age began for Spain. But
this wealth came at the cost of innocent blood. Over time, colonies
began to emerge on the new continent, all paying tribute to the king.
All but one — located in the western swamplands and commanded by the
renowned and celebrated general Enrique.
Fearing a rebellion that could damage his reputation and pride, the king secretly sends his man — prosecutor Hernando Manzanares — to the new land, keeping it hidden from the other camps. His Holiness Pope Pius IV, concerned about the situation for his own reasons, decides to support Philip II. Manzanares is to be accompanied by a Vatican envoy — Father Inquisitor Adalbert Rivero.
Will they be able to uncover the reason behind Enrique’s disobedience?
A great mystery lies hidden in the swamps, waiting to be revealed.
In the game, the player will play as prosecutor Hernando, accompanied by Father Adalbert.
This is a linear adventure where the two protagonsits will have to traverse the swamplands, battle wild animals, interrogate Enrique’s men, visit a supposed gold mine, and even cooperate with the local indigenous people. In addition to the story and adventure elements, the game also features systems inspired by classic RPGs — exploration, finding hidden chests and caches, collecting trophies, trading with merchants, equipping better gear, and learning various skills. Among them: herbalism, lockpicking, and learning the language of the natives.

Random Fact: the game was originally made and released in 2020, in polish. At the moment an english translation is in the works, along with a game update that will improve the gameplay.
Final Verdict: like Ronin, another game from this developer, Chantlicoatl is not a very long game, but has a nice graphics and some neat features. This time the game has more classical rpg aspects, like the avoidable dangerous fauna, still it's a pretty original adventure.
