About this game

- Are you craving the thrill and excitement of a one-lane brawl?
- Do you long to immerse yourself in the fantastical art style of Kingdom Rush?
- Are you eager to command heroes from Dota and engage in thrilling battles?

Look no further than Ancient Stars, where all your desires will be fulfilled!

Ancient Stars is a meticulously crafted 3V3 competitive game, featuring a 2.5D combat mode (2D hand-drawn heroes, 3D battle environments) that combines the excitement of arcade fighting with the competitive nature of traditional MOBA games. This game is easy to pick up, fast-paced, highly strategic, and full of fun! Each match lasts about 10 minutes. The gameplay is a side-scrolling map tower-pushing mode, where the objective is to destroy the enemy base to win.

Currently Ancient Stars features 22 unique hero characters and 9 different character skins with distinct styles. Each character has their own unique voice acting, providing an immersive experience that showcases various styles from around the world.

To create vibrant heroes and animations in the 2D hand-drawn style, we invited the art director from Ironhide Studio to lead the art design for Ancient Stars. Yes, the same genius artist who created Kingdom Rush and Iron Marines. Every hero's image and skill effect has been meticulously designed and refined! Of course, the sound effects, BGM, and other elements are also from a Uruguayan composer, ensuring that unique flavor!

Love this game. That said: I Just played a game that bothered me. I was doing well early game, then was met with a "Tip: Reconnecting. please wait" screen. Phone had full bars of WiFi. Upsetting but, eh, it happens. I reconnected and wasn't doing as well and lost the match. Frustrating but, again, it happens. Then, I got a "Negative Match Penalty Warning" and was penalized 10 of something called reputation points. WHAT?!? This feels like you punched me, then punished me for bleeding everywhere.

I love this game Its pretty much a User Friendly Version of Dota but with Cute Art Style which btw I really like. Though we need more things happening on the map and more ✨action✨. My main problem though is that when buying a Hero you can't view their skills and stats. The Item description is hard for me to follow even though I'm pretty much used to play moba games. I really love the game though the Simplicity and Beginner friendly of this game is great. The Upgrading system throws me off though

the game has gotten way harder since the last update, and feels terribly unbalanced. what used to be a 6min match now takes 15+mins, less if no tanks on the enemy side maybe. I have always used mages since that's where my cash has gone into the upgrades but it just doesn't feel that fun to have to work so hard to kill something when I'm dying after a few hits. I can appreciate making the game more balanced and a bit harder but it feels broken in the opposite direction now. id rather it be easy.
