About Ancible Online
Ancible Online is a 2D MMORPG set in the open world of Veridia. Developed by The Giant's Drink, it launched on November 7, 2025, for PC, Linux, and Mac. The game blends crafting, combat, and cooperative play, letting players build bases, battle enemies, and trade resources with others in a shared world. Its low-poly art style and focus on player-driven economies make it stand out. While not a traditional story-driven RPG, Ancible prioritizes exploration and collaboration. Ideal for players who enjoy building, gathering, and working with others to shape a world, it’s a slower-paced MMO that emphasizes creativity over fast-paced action.
Gameplay
Ancible Online uses a top-down 2D perspective where players collect raw materials, craft tools, and construct bases in shared zones. Combat is turn-based, requiring strategic positioning and elemental weaknesses. Each session often involves farming resources, trading with NPCs or players, and teaming up for group raids against large enemies. The co-op mode lets parties combine skills, like a builder crafting defenses while a fighter draws aggro. Progression is tied to skill trees that unlock new crafting recipes and abilities. The lack of a central questline means players design their own goals, whether farming for a trade guild or building a town. Controls are keyboard/mouse focused, with responsive but methodical mechanics.
What Players Think
Ancible Online holds an 8.7/10 on Metacritic but has a 68% completion rate for core content, suggesting a low time investment. Average playtime is 45 hours, with 32% of players hitting 100+ hours. Community moods are split: 42% describe it as "relaxing," while 28% call it "underwhelming." Reviews highlight the satisfying crafting loop and peaceful co-op but criticize sparse enemy variety. One player noted, "Feels like building a homestead with friends, but the world feels empty sometimes." The game lacks post-launch content updates, and 17% of players quit within a month. Achievement completion is at 79%, with 60% of players earning the "Master Crafter" title.
PlayPile's Take
Ancible Online is a niche pick for players who enjoy slow-building co-op and crafting. It costs $39.99, with no free-to-play option. The game’s lack of structured content and repetitive combat may turn off those craving progression or action. But if you like building, trading, and working with others in a laid-back world, it offers decent value. Avoid it if you want deep storytelling or fast-paced combat. With a few content updates, it could be a stronger recommendation.
