Ancestor: Free-to-play Pixel Art Goodness

As it often happens with these kinds of games, Ancestor from SUPERMEGAQUEST is a very versatile title, that features elements from different genres. It’s a puzzle, an action and a runner. The coolest thing about the game is its unusual style, that pushes pixel art to a different level. The animations are very fluid and fast. The environments in the game are full of details and surprizes.

Venture across a dangerous landscape riddled with traps and enemies. Defeating foes and overcoming obstacles will earn you currency chips that you can spend on lavish cloaks and various orbs. As you travel further into the unknown, your surroundings scale in difficulty, demanding quick thinking and swift reflexes.
