Our take on XIBALBA
The defining detail is its 1990s-style first-person shooting framed by Mayan ruins and Ibero-American mythological creatures, with the campaign structured across three chapters.
What is XIBALBA?
XIBALBA is a first-person shooter set in ancient Mayan ruins and other locations tied to Ibero-American myths.
Players follow Acoatl, an Indigenous man tracking thieves through the jungle, then fight through temple corridors and other enclosed areas. The campaign is divided into three chapters, each presenting combat challenges and increasingly dangerous creatures. Its arsenal includes a revolver, sawed-off shotguns, magic rocket launchers, and flamethrowers. Enemies include chaneques, mythological vampires, Nahuales, and other horrors drawn from ancient cultures and regional legends. The game follows the style of 1990s shooters while framing its action around a descent toward the underworld.
