About this game

Pillaging villages and brutal battles

It’s time to take command of your army and storm through medieval Europe in a series of campaigns in real-time strategy Ancestors Legacy. With this Steam key, you’ll get to choose from one of four available nations – Viking, Anglo-Saxon, German, Slav – tasked with more than just conquering, raiding and pillaging enemy camps, villages and towns.

HISTORY TOLD YOUR WAY

Ancestors Legacy is a historically accurate real-time strategy game based around squad-based battles, influenced by historical events in the Middle Ages. Combining resource management and base building with large-scale, squad-based battles across vast battlefields – all stunningly rendered thanks to the Unreal Engine 4 – players will experience medieval bloodshed like never before.

This is a fun, squad based RTS set in the time of Vikings invading England. While there are only a handful of unit types for each faction, they have different abilities to make them feel unique. I got Age of Empires IV around the same time, and prefer Ancestors Legacy so far. I really like the squad based vs single unit style. Especially since squads here can be leveled and armored up - though unlike Company of Heroes and Dawn of War, there isn't any further customization such as with weapons. Story/campaign missions have been a lot of fun.

Ancestors Legacy Review

Staff Review
Stealthy missions and large-scale wars, all captured in the awesome Unreal Engine 4, means Ancestors Legacy is offering something pretty unique from other historical-based war games right now. The addition of Tobii software is the cherry on top of an already delicious cake!
