After its successful launch on PC, Ancestors Legacy is now available on Xbox One and PS4. The game was first launch on PC and this latest release hopes to fill in the gap of strategy games on consoles. Originally developed to be used with a controller, Ancestors Legacy hopes to offer the original RTS experience for all strategy game fans without the need for traditional peripherals. The game is available at the Microsoft Store for $39.99.
Ancestors Legacy is a squad-based, real-time strategy game influenced by events in medieval European history. 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. Thanks to the cinematic action camera that puts the player right in the middle of the battle at the press of a button, players get to experience medieval bloodshed like never before.
To win the game, players have to take command of their army as they storm through medieval Europe in an extensive series of campaigns. The game brings to life four different nations and their conflicts, which were usually solved by war. Choose one from the four available nations – Viking, Anglo-Saxon, German, or Slav – and expect to perform tasks that go beyond conquering, raiding, and pillaging enemy camps, villages, and towns. Make sure to use the full range of available tactical options, take strategic advantage of the environment, and manage your temporary bases and settlements properly so that your chosen nation becomes victorious.
Ancestors Legacy has a strong emphasis on tactical action, whether you are playing a single-player campaign or in multiplayer mode. In order to succeed in combat, players must improve their gameplay with clever strategies and proper management of resources. Single player missions are based on historical events which occurred in these Dark Ages.
The main features of Ancestors Legacy are:
- Four playable nations in an extensive single-player campaign inspired by historical events
- Various modes of intense multiplayer battles
- Advanced tactical options combining the use of terrain, experience, and morale
- Cinematic battle camera view that puts you right in the center of the action
- Outstanding visual fidelity powered by Unreal Engine 4
- Streamlined resource management and village construction
According to the developers of Ancestors Legacy, this is their biggest and most ambitious game by far. And their work has paid off well with the positive reviews and growing popularity that the game has enjoyed since its launch on PC in 2018.
