Kaibil

Kaibil is a retro pixel-art RPG set in the pre-colonial Mayan world. In 1524, Kaibil Balam, Ajaw Ajpop and warlord-king of the Mam Mayan tribe, struggles to unite warring tribes as Spanish armies and their native allies advance through the Cuauhtēmallān highlands. You lead Kaibil through turn-based battles, acquire abilities and face powerful enemies as you seek to save his people.

The journey

You kidnap priestesses, rescue princesses and enter Xibalba, the Mayan land of the dead, where you decide the fate of Kaibil and his people. Along the way, you discover the mystic power of each tribe, hunt and devour legendary beasts, conquer heroes and collect sacred armor. A Holy Spirit approaches, and Kaibil must overcome trials to save his people from destruction.

Combat and progression

Combat is turn-based, and enemies are visible rather than encountered at random. Progression centers on items, with inventory management and simulation elements. You can acquire new abilities and customize a party of unique characters.

Factions and art

The game features multiple factions with distinct bosses and stylized 1-bit pixel-art sprites. It also includes an original soundtrack.
