This fourth edition of Thunderkick’s ‘Beat the Beast’ series, stars a mythical Mesoamerican deity. Who kinda looks like a dragon, but in fact knows many different faces in historical Aztec beliefs..
Usually, we’d dive straight into the details of the game. However, in this particular case, we think it’s important to share some history about the ‘beast’ featured in this slot: Quetzalcoatl.
