    This is a pleasant surprise. It is limited in certain aspects but the dynamic skirmishes are brutal and deliver.

    A tactical real-time strategy which takes on medieval stories of strong warriors and unchallenged kings. It's not overflowing with originality, but it offers a portion of decent entertainment for several long evenings and not only for history fans and forged strategists. The game is an honest invitation to the dark times of European history, with a few freckles on beauty, but with a fast gradient and accessibility for almost everyone who does not have problems with the RTS genre.

    Ancestors Legacy is short on content, but its story missions are diverse, and the skirmish mode can bring you a lot of fun.

    Ancestors: Legacy is a strategy game full of technical issues that can totally spoil the whole experience. And yet, Destructive Creations managed to to create an interesting and fun game that's not notorious for being forcibly edgy and controversial. It is simply a good, middle-of-the-road game that offers a reasonable amount of fun.

    Since you can’t have more than a dozen units at any time and defensive buildings can only be placed in pre-determined spots, your tactical options are extremely limited – and no matter what you choose, you’ll end up playing whack-a-mole with enemy troops. [Issue#231, p.72]

    For example, even on Easy difficulty, the enemy can replace unit losses faster than you can kill them, even when you are fighting in their base and they have no apparent resource pool, and buildings 'heal' faster than you can destroy!

    And like plagues so many RTS, you have to micromanage **** all over the map, sending units to defend some far off settlement that the AI has decided to target.

    I think the game would have been better with a slower, more linear pace, like Total War battles on a smaller scale.

    Great tech and art, poor game design.    … Full Review »

Der Netzwerkmodus existiert nicht. Kleine Auswahl an Einheiten, Infanterie, Kavallerie und Katapult (dies erweist sich als völlig nutzlose Einheit). Wir haben praktisch zwei Einheiten. Kein Bau von Gebäuden, wo wir wollen, so wie es früher geplant war. Keine Konstruktion von Wänden oder anderen Hindernissen. Sie können nur Fallen bauen, was nicht einfach ist. Das Spiel im Wert von bis zu 5 Euro, und wenn Sie einen guten Titel kaufen möchten, ist derzeit kein Ersatz für CoH.… Full Review »
