Ancestral Players Demo

• CONCEPT

Ancestral Players is a PvP FPS revisiting the Battle Royale experience by including multiple lives.  Each death allows players to level up and enhance their abilities.

This approach helps reduce skill disparities, offering a smoother experience for newcomers while pushing experienced players further.

• NO HEROES, JUST BOB

In Ancestral Players, everyone starts on equal footing, equipped with nothing but a dagger and a brief. Depending on the game mode, you will level up by either:

- following a pre-established progression path (inspired by 'gun game' game modes)

- picking upgrades yourself in the skill tree game mode.

• CHALLENGING WEAPONS

Whether you choose the Axe, the Bow, or the Coconut launcher, your aiming skill will be put to the test at every encounter.

• DYNAMIC ENVIRONMENTS

Players aren’t the only danger in the arena, stay alert to the shifting environment. Master your movements to escape hazardous situations.

• FEATURES (WIP)

- A sandbox mode where you can experiment with most of the game content

- Play with bots (2 difficulty level)

- 2 maps, 6 game modes, day/night mood

- Demo limitations: Online features are not available on the itch demo. The lava/water is currently not compatible with bots.
