What players say
An Underrated RTS Gem for History Lovers As a history enthusiast, Ancestors Legacy was a real highlight for me from the first mission to the last. What stood out immediately was how the game lets you experience different campaigns from multiple perspectives.

Had this sitting in my library for ages and finally played it. Pretty fun overall, but kinda hard if you're new to RTS games. It's also mentally draining, so I needed a break after some chapters. Mostly played campaign and Skirmish, didn't touch multiplayer. Some achievements are easy, others feel almost impossible, but finally getting the hard ones is really satisfying.
A cool and brutal RTS game. While it might not get any updates anytime soon, it's worth trying out. My complaint is very simple: I wish they would add more factions, since we only have 4 or 5. Still, it's good! Warcraft 3 had 4 factions too, but I kind of wanted to see more and more urban skirmish maps instead of maps built solely for single player.
