“Interesting combat (give it some time). Basebuilding is wonky. Campaign is really interesting. A really well done and original medieval RTS (though factions are a bit same-y to me). Love it.”

“Fast RTS with great animated medieval troops clashing and conquering sectors like in Company of Heroes.”
82 – Gamestar

“Evolutionary rather than revolutionary, Ancestors: Legacy takes the best of the genre, adds a dash of Dark Age and at the end of it comes out as one of the strongest entries to the RTS stable this year.”
80 – Strategy Gamer

“Ancestors Legacy scratches the itch for a traditional RTS...”

About This Game

Take command of your army as you storm through medieval Europe in an extensive series of campaigns. Choosing one of the four available nations – Viking, Anglo-Saxon, German, Slav – you will be tasked with more than just conquering, raiding and pillaging enemy camps, villages and towns. Only by utilizing the full range of available tactical options, taking strategic advantage of the environment, and managing your temporary bases and settlements, will you emerge victorious.

Ancestors Legacy is a history-inspired real-time strategy game influenced by historical events in the Middle Ages. The game combines resource management and base building with large-scale, squad-based battles across vast battlefields, all rendered in great detail thanks to the Unreal Engine 4 tech. Experience medieval bloodshed like never before, thanks to the cinematic action camera that puts you right in the middle of the battle at the press of a button.
