About this game

DEATH IS A POWER-UP

Ancestral Players reimagines the classic Arena Shooter with a vengeful twist. In this arena, death is just a power-up. Every time you fall, you level up, gaining powerful abilities to hunt down the person who just took you out. But remember, your lives are limited: wipe out the competition and be the last man standing.

PLAY FOR FUN OR FOR GLORY

Settle the score with friends in private lobbies or prove your dominance in our regular tournaments.

PRIMITIVE ARSENAL

Every shot is earned. Master an arsenal where every projectile follows its own path:

  • The Axe: Heavy, brutal, and deadly at close range.

  • The Bow: Built for surgical precision at a distance.

  • The Coconut Launcher: Chaos in a shell. High-impact tropical fruit at its finest.

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 either by following a pre-established progression path (inspired by 'gun game' game modes), or pick upgrades yourself in the skill tree game mode.

THE ARENA IS ALIVE

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