    If you’re looking for a beefy console RTS experience that’s inspired by real events and oozing violence out of every bloody orifice, then look no further than Ancestors Legacy. It may not be the perfect experience, but it’s shockingly solid, especially when you consider the design hurdles that the development team must have been facing. This is the perfect entry-point for anyone who’s been curious about real time strategy, when armed with only a Dualshock.

    If you really, really have to play an RTS on console then you could do a lot worse than Ancestors Legacy. Well thought out controls, appealing visuals, and a solid multiplayer make for a reliable RTS experience. You might never feel compelled to reach the conclusion of the samey single-player campaign but you will delight in just having one more go at flanking your pal's Teutonic Knights with your Hurscarl Warriors.

    Ancestors Legacy offers fast-paced action and strategy built around using the environment to your advantage. The difficulties in controlling units hamper the effectiveness of controling forces in battle, bringing some conflicts down to sheer luck. There is a lot of great content in Ancestors Legacy, but be aware that the control issues of the console ports might hurt the experience.

    Ancestor's high point is the historical reconstitution, throwing light over Middle Age unknowing events. The gameplay is simple, like oldAncestor's high point is the historical reconstitution, throwing light over Middle Age unknowing events. The gameplay is simple, like old school Commanders or Pretorians - you have to move each battalion as indivisible group, which limits the tactical possibilities, and make you mostly a passive viewer of the ground battles. While you progress through the campaigns the game turn to be a little repetitive. It's not bad, but once you had finished, probably you won't play it again.… Full Review »
