About XIBALBA
Xibalba is a first person shooter game, a tribute to the greatest classics of the 90's like Doom, Wolfensetin, and Duke Nukem. In this game you will take the role of Acoatl, a young indigenous man who follows the trail of thieves in the jungle, arriving at some ancient Mayan ruins that he had never seen. Delve into them and prepare to face the ancient horrors that the Mayans and other cultures left behind.
Throughout three chapters you will experience great challenges that will test your mettle, as well as the satisfaction of victory.
Your enemies are varied, lethal, and implacable, and you should be more so. With your weapons from a simple revolver, to sawed-off shotguns, magic rocket launchers, flamethrowers, and the help of your courage, you will be able to dominate the creatures that filled Ibero-American nightmares and myths for centuries. From small chaneques, through mythological vampires, the legendary Nahuales, to creatures that the mere mention of their name caused terror.
You will walk the long and narrow corridors of ancient temples, infested with enemies who only yearn to take your life, and it is in you not to make them easy. The further you go, the closer you get to the underworld.
Xibalba welcomes you.

Quite hard to recommend... For the 1€ price being asked while in sale and if you can embrace the jank I would say it's worth it. Only if you like old school non stop action type of games like Doom or Serious Sam and know that you will have to speedrun and avoid all the ennemies in the later levels. XIBALBA is terribly balanced in later levels it must be a joke, all ennemies are bullet sponges, there are way too many and they take way too long to kill. In fact it gets so damn unbalanced to the point I ended up bunny hop speedrunning the latest levels because it's just impossible to kill everything. I had fun in the first few levels not so much in latest... The two shotguns and the bow are cool but all the other weapons are complete rubbish in my opnion and not worth using unless you run out of shotgun shells. In this game there is also a lot of collision issues, it's easily possible to glitch out of maps or cheese the ennemies projectiles because of the invisible walls. Game tested and finished in about two hours in normal difficulty FYI. Again I only recommend it at a very very low price and still not sure if I should XD. [h1]Rating 5/10.[/h1]7 found this helpful
No Y-axis inversion in an fps. That alone is worth a thumb down. Additionally, the few settings that are there won't save between levels, means that motion blur and other settings have to be disabled every time a level starts. Weapons and the crooked player model clip through walls and objects and enemy placement, or spam, and level design don't feel very thoughtful. Sorry but at least some effort is needed to find customers. Edit: 31/10/2021 = Still no Y-axis inversion Edit: 9/06/2022 = Y-inversion has been added in an earlier patch but the Game is still bad though5 found this helpful
I like it, reminds me a lot to Serious Sam but that's a good thing, have an interesting looking using 2D and 3D with the enemies and the levels , I enjoyed very much and for sure the game can improve with the time.3 found this helpful
Shockingly bad! Everything about it sucks. Buy Dusk instead!1 found this helpful
A different setting from the usual and some pretty interesting enemies are ruined by a lighting system that makes you see most things in completely black silhouettes most of the time. As for gameplay, the sponginess of a lot of the enemies is ridiculous it's like most enemies that apear after the first few levels has the health of one of the Doom bosses.1 found this helpful
I'm not sure I can recommend this. About a quarter of the way into the game, everything becomes bullet sponges. And there's no save functionality that I could see, other than restarting the level, so it stopped being worthwhile to slog through it and, like another commenter, I started taking advantage of the weird level collision + floating jumping to pretty much speed-run through the latter two thirds of the game. Some of the jank kind of feels like... the game was made in Unity by someone who maybe doesn't entirely know how to use Unity. Also, some of the sprites look cool, but often don't seem to properly receive light from the baked level lighting, so they look like black blobs unless your flashlight is on. I will say that the levels looked pretty for the most part, and I do like the overall aesthetic. If you get it on sale or have some time and money to burn, and enjoy jank, it is relatively short, and you might have fun with it. Otherwise, maybe skip this one.
