Skip it if you…
Saves you a refund- Players seeking a large-scale RPG may hit the wall at the game's stated small scope and light RPG structure
- Players wanting a primarily exploration-focused experience may bounce off when combat against fauna and invaders becomes the central activity
- Players looking for a platformer without character-build choices may not enjoy the perk system and role selection
Our take on Aborigenus
The bounce point comes when players reach the character-building layer: choosing among three roles and managing perks is part of the game’s structure. Those looking for a purely linear platformer may find that system interrupts the straightforward action flow.
What is Aborigenus?
Aborigenus is a small adventure platformer with RPG elements set in a primal world.
As the last hope of a peaceful tribe, the player hunts aggressive fauna, learns new abilities, and fights invaders who enslaved the protagonist’s relatives. The game offers three character choices: shaman, warrior, or hunter. Its setting includes flying islands, distinct enemies, and landscapes presented as divine. A flexible perk system adds character development, while chicken riding provides an unusual movement option. The central objective is to rescue the tribe’s people and confront the enemy forces threatening the islands.
