- Are you ready to command legendary Dota-style heroes and dive into epic clashes?

Ancient Stars is your answer, delivering on every wish!

Ancient Stars is a finely-tuned 3V3 competitive experience. It presents a unique 2.5D battle system—featuring 2D hand-drawn heroes in 3D arenas—that blends arcade-style brawling with core MOBA strategy. Easy to learn, fast to play, and rich with tactical depth, it's pure fun! Matches are concise, lasting roughly 10 minutes. Fight on a side-scrolling map in a tower-pushing mode where victory is achieved by demolishing the enemy's base.

Ancient Stars currently boasts 22 distinct heroes and 9 unique character skins. Each hero comes with custom voice acting, creating an immersive showcase of global styles and personalities.

To bring our 2D heroes and animations to vivid life, we enlisted the Art Director from Ironhide Studio to lead the project—the creative force behind Kingdom Rush and Iron Marines. Every hero's design and skill effect has been painstakingly crafted! Complementing the visuals, the sound effects and BGM are composed by a talented Uruguayan artist, ensuring an authentically unique atmosphere.
