<h2 class="bb_tag" >About Shadow of Ancients</h2>Shadow of Ancients is a single-player, story-driven action RPG set in a stylized and colorful world where the elder ones vanished. You play as Aiden, a young adventurer who unknowingly carries a reincarnating Tuyuk (An Ancient demon) within him. As the player, you will experience his adventures, which are powerful, unpredictable, and not always in your control. <video class="bb_img" autoplay muted loop playsinline crossorigin="anonymous" poster="https://shared.akamai.steamstatic.com/store_item_assets/steam/apps/3273380/extras/d66c287f04958a8c1ac779d207bbde26.poster.avif?t=1765537177" width=1170 height=658 ><source src="https://shared.akamai.steamstatic.com/store_item_assets/steam/apps/3273380/extras/d66c287f04958a8c1ac779d207bbde26.webm?t=1765537177" type="video/webm; codecs=vp9"></video><h2 class="bb_tag" >What’s in the Demo (First Public Build – October 18)</h2><ul class="bb_ul"><li>Act I slice: Early quests, exploration, and combat encounters</li><li>Real-time combat: with dodges, skills, and light/heavy attacks</li><li>Demon Mode with Boss fights: Aiden’s power can possess him and you briefly lose control and have to play the enemies.</li><li>Gather &amp; craft: pick herbs and materials to brew survival potions</li><li>A stylized, nature-heavy world: A world you can wander around in forest paths, ruins, and underground caves <img class="bb_img" src="https://shared.akamai.steamstatic.com/store_item_assets/steam/apps/3273380/extras/263d6196ae8b1f10769cc5e83666920a.avif?t=1765537177" width=1560 height=878 /></li></ul><h2 class="bb_tag" >Core Features (Full Game Vision)</h2><ul class="bb_ul"><li>Story First But... : This game is about Aiden's journey, but you, the Player, will decide and change his path and relations with the people, choices and what's lying beyond...</li><li>Enjoyable and engaging combat: Improved fight mechanics with leveling and skill sets.</li><li>Improved UI: Improved look and feel throughout the whole UI/UX</li><li>Exploration with purpose: Even more meaningful, side quests, parkour, puzzles and chases.</li><li>Collect, brew, survive: flora/fauna items feed a simple, useful crafting loop</li><li>Clean, cel-shaded look: We'll keep our look inspired by modern stylized RPGs</li></ul><img class="bb_img" src="https://shared.akamai.steamstatic.com/store_item_assets/steam/apps/3273380/extras/958c0b6d6672f19493870274c3a02189.avif?t=1765537177" width=1560 height=878 /><h2 class="bb_tag" >Why a Demo?</h2>We’re releasing this early slice to learn from you.
