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 superb detail with Unreal Engine 4. 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.
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, or 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 (2018) on PC delivers a visually striking and historically immersive experience. The graphics are commendable, with detailed character models and environments that vividly bring medieval battles to life. The music complements the epic scale of the game, enhancing the strategic atmosphere. Level design is both strategic and engaging, offering diverse landscapes and tactical challenges. A lesser-known aspect is the game's dedication to historical accuracy, as it draws inspiration from real events like the Viking invasion of England and the Slavic struggle for dominance. Ancestors Legacy successfully marries compelling visuals, strategic gameplay, and historical authenticity, making it a noteworthy entry in the real-time strategy genre.
