    I love that game because the age and the real time strategy is awesome. I love the action cam and animations from every squad. There is one thing I want to be better in the multiplayer. I wish more modes and maps maybe some new features for the game, to keep this great game alive. Also i have to say the port from pc to PS4 was successful and the controlling is fast and easy to learn.

    For the ps4 is the best rts now. Does what sudden strike fails to do. The shortcut buttons exist and need some time to learn (like all games). Grab it and enjoy your time.
    The control with joystick is good(like sudden strike, tropico, Nobunagas ambition). Each faction has their own heroes like LOTR battle for middle-age. I think is a successful strategy game. 8.5 my score

    Incredibly bad tutorial. Terrible zoom in/out. Slow movement speed coupled with super hard difficulty on "Easy-AI".

    Ancestor'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.

    Ancestors Legacy is a genuinely good console strategy title, with Destructive Creations having ported the game over well with improvements to UI and controls to make it as playable as possible on a gamepad. As for the game itself, while simplistic compared to other strategy titles, it offers a great jumping-in point for those new to the genre. Even those familiar will find something enjoyable within, with a well-balanced (albeit small) roster of factions supports a strong multiplayer, even a decent, albeit repetitive campaign.

    Due to unfortunate design choices, I just wanted to rush through everything and couldn’t exactly enjoy my time with the game. In short, Ancestors Legacy felt too much like a chore to play. Saying this doesn’t bring me any joy because the Middle Ages setting and the presented factions were actually cool. The idea to make a history-based, story-driven RTS title with dynamic features could have been great, but all these sides didn’t mesh well here. I really wanted to get into the gameplay, but the best I could muster was excitement for engaging cutscenes and disturbingly alluring images.
