About

melee combat multiplayer game set in a high fantasy medieval world. Two teams of 5 players fight to capture and control the Relic, an ancient and powerful magical artifact key in the eternal struggle between Light and Darkness. In Blood Ancestors, you create your own hero choosing between 3 factions, 6 characters archetypes, and 18 different classes – and on top of that, you pick 3 skills (Aggressive, Defensive, Utility) to create a unique build that fits your playstyle like a glove. With weapon or magic, feed the earth with the blood of your enemies to unleash your powerful ultimate attack, secure the Relic, and decide the fate of the war!


CONTROL THE RELIC TO WIN THE MATCHTo win a match of Blood Ancestors, you need to take the Relic to your enemies’ spawning portal. For that, it needs to be unlocked first by feeding it with your own lifeforce: it will drink the blood of whoever stands nearby. Once it’s full, whoever snatches it first becomes the Bearer; killing him/her grants control over the Relic. Besides, there are two magical pillars on the map, one of Health, another of Speed. If the Bearer’s team control a pillar, it will increase his/her Health or Speed; if it’s controlled by the enemy team, it will decrease them instead.SETTINGHundreds of years ago, a race of slaves found a way to escape their cruel masters, the Blood Ancestors. They discovered a portal between dimensions that led them from Arham, their homeworld, to the new planet of Vetlan. Feeding the portal with the power of the ancient Relic, a powerful magical artifact created eons ago by the Ancestors, these slaves crossed the portal, and closed it behind them; and calling themselves the Blood Ones, they established in this new home, and lived in peace for generations. But war broke soon in this new planet between two factions, the Light Ones, and the Dark Ones; and the Blood Ones were silent witnesses of a war which ended countless lives, and that threatened to destroy the world of Vetlan itself.

One day, they decided that, after having escaped slavery and death, they could not stand idle while the planet was being torn apart by the eternal struggle between Light and Darkness. The Blood Ones opened the portal again and traveled back to Arham to face the Ancestors, claim the Relic and use its power to end the war and pacify both worlds. But Light and Darkness learned of their plans, and followed them to Arham – and war followed them too. Now, the three factions fight for the Relic – and the Blood Ancestors remain silent and hidden, letting everyone fight over it for reasons known only to them. Who knows what are they plotting in their twisted minds, evermore obsessed with power and domination?FACTIONSThe Dark Ones are the first native inhabitants of Vetlan. Beings without a physical body, mere shadows full of dark energy, they live in deep caves and crevices honoring Arteis, a feared god of the night and shadow. They wager an endless war against the Light Ones.
The Light Ones awakened one day in the dark surface of Vetlan, flourished quickly and spread across the whole world. When they were about to lose the war against the Dark Ones a powerful light exploded in the sky, helping them to drive their enemies back. Since then they adore that light as their goddess and name themselves Humans, the Light Ones.
The Blood Ones were once the slaves of the Ancestors. They fled to Vetlan, where they found themselves in the middle of a war between the two native races. After a series of cataclysms, they discovered that the magic used in the war had destabilized the core of the planet, and decided to go back to use the power of the Relic to save Vetlan and stop the war.KEY FEATURES

Blood Ancestors - Open Alpha reviews and comments

In the State the game is... no graphics are horrible, optimization is to shit, the gameplay is soft, no sound in the game is terribly empty... I do not recommend this game even though it may have some potential. It is only an alpha to see the final version but for the moment as much played to Paladin it is the same but without being null

An entertaining game. You're Not going to get bored, especially if you play with friends. And Nothing happens if you're a little bit manco, you catch the trick quickly to the characters... (I recommend you use the wizard [Sorcerer] because it is very easy to use and kills easy ^. ^) It Is an open alpha and has its bugs, but they are adding updates to solve those problems and add new content to the game. Play it, you're going to have a good time:)

It Is A game that can have a good future if it is oriented in the right way. Currently it becomes repetitive and lacks a lot of the issue of game mechanics for my taste. Graphic Theme and so is left over, because today you do not look so much that if the game is really entertaining (How Many games There are incredible graphics and did not get to be played practically). Currently We are also developing a videogame (we are also a small team). And It will be a pleasure to share experiences and comments. A greeting

Hello I'm from Colombia, then this review is for Latin Americans, is a good product, the servers for our region are a bit slow, but the game that I like to play, not compared with those games fast and broken characters, is more strategy , very fun Hopefully improve the servers, or not I play with 10 megs and I just walk in my house, and I was regular, but has a lot of potential is only improve optimization, latency problems, and options that do not serve or I do not serve as training. Another funny thing is not in Spanish.

To me the game seems groundbreaking, that if the graphics are nothing of the other world today, but what game is? Every game has its own style, and this one has a lot. I have tried it from very early versions because they left me permission for it (is more let me even record https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vAQRx0hccEM), you have to learn the goal of each PJ, once that, you only have to find players as Competitive than you, and the game is ahce very much fun, the game has its history and more clans, with what more development can come out something very handsome, I recommend you try and not only that, if not understand, and most likely you like. PD: I have played with a Ryzen 5 1400 8 of RAM and a RX 460 and the game fluid strip to 60 fps Configurandolo well, not very demanding.
