Ancestors Legacy (NSP, XCI) ROM + v1.2.0 Update

Ancestors Legacy is a real-time strategy video game developed by Polish studio Destructive Creations and published by 1C Company. It was released on Microsoft Windows on May 22, 2018, Xbox One and PlayStation 4 on August 13, 2019, and Nintendo Switch on June 11, 2020.

Lead your army through medieval Europe in a sprawling campaign in Ancestors Legacy. This history-driven real-time strategy game draws inspiration from Middle Ages events. It melds resource management and base construction with grand-scale, squad-centric battles on expansive battlefields.

Witness medieval warfare like never before, thanks to a cinematic action camera that immerses you in the fray at the push of a button. With four selectable nations – Viking, Anglo-Saxon, German, and Slav – your mission extends beyond mere conquest, raiding, and plundering of enemy encampments, villages, and towns.

Only by employing a full array of tactical choices, leveraging the terrain strategically, and efficiently managing your makeshift bases and settlements can you secure triumph. Immerse yourself into the history-inspired real-time strategy game influenced by historical events in the Middle Ages. Give command of your army and choose one of the four available nations Viking, Anglo-Saxon, German, and Slav.

Ancestors Legacy is a strong addition to the relatively quiet historical strategy genre. With the base game featuring just four different factions, it lacks some of the depth of similar titles, but I felt this was effectively countered with the stunning graphics, the brilliant soundtrack, the immersive cinematic battle camera, and the length and quality of the included campaigns.

Watching your units in battle is a genuine pleasure and the music sets the perfect backdrop for the dark, medieval setting. It’s not without faults, but fans of historical plan games will probably love the challenge and setting of Ancestors Legacy

GAMEPLAY

Ancestor’s Legacy offers two game modes: a single-player campaign scenario or a multiplayer game, in which the player can choose to play one of four civilizations: Vikings, Anglo-Saxons, Teutons, or Slavs (the Saladin’s Conquest DLC adds a fifth civilization, the Saracens). The game features a day/night cycle which changes the way factions play. The game features one or two campaign scenarios for each civilization.

The Anglo-Saxon campaign features the likes of Edward the Confessor, William the Conqueror, and the Earl of Huntingdon. For the Vikings campaign, the game is set in 793 and is divided into two parts. The first part is set during the raid of Lindisfarne’s monastery.

An event that is sometimes considered the beginning of the Viking Age and serves as a tutorial. Once the tutorial is completed the other campaigns become available. The second part is set in 892 and is dedicated to Rurik, a Varangian chieftain during the Ladoga campaign. The Slavs and Teutons have one campaign each.

During the campaigns, the AI is a better player as it can replace losses and send large armies to your base.  The multiplayer aspect of the game provides Domination and Annihilation modes, during which a player can have as many as 10 squads. Multiplayer battles can take place on any of 15 maps, prepared for 2, 4, or 6 players (1v1, 2v2, or 3v3).
