This is a great little hold over until WC3 Reforged. Most people will think this game is like CoH, but WC3 with its well defined unit v unit relationships is a better match and focus on using unique unit abilities. In addition, the games go about 20-40 minutes revolve around taking and holding expansions that generate resources.
This is a good game, it reminds CoH, but is simpler as of writing this. The devs are active even now that the game has been released which is good because there is a lot of balancing to be done and depth to be added.
Playerbase was small and it was a problem to find games, this has got better as well latly.
Overall I recommend. But check if the playerbase is still active when you buy.
It's not the best RTS ever made and it won't revolutionize the genre, but it's still a damn fine game. While I do understand the comparisons to Company of Heroes, it doesn't that games depth.
If you want to compare it to anything, I would say Battle for Middle-Earth.
And don't give to much thought about the historical inaccuracies the game has. It's entertainment, and while there are real historical people being referenced, if you really wan't to learn viking, Anglo-Saxon or Slavic history, it would probably be a better idea to go and pick up a book.
And I was really impressed by the AI, so while it's not the most complex gamer ever made, it's still a really good time!
This has to be hands down one of the best RTS games I've played recently and this is strictly from the single player point of view.
There are 8 campaigns (9 if you get Saladin) with 5 missions each making it a total of 40 (45) missions which is a very good amount to keep you going for a while. I just finished the last Saladin mission, having completed all 45 missions on hard difficulty. They are all narrated and voice acted with hand-drawn Age of Empires 2 style prologues.
The battles themselves are loud and look awesome. The animations are really well done and sometimes, you will just find yourself zooming in on the battle and enjoying the show. Fans of Dawn of War will find themselves very satisfied because every unit has a finishing move for any other type of unit. You can also set it so that every single corpse stays on the battlefield forever. Seeing the ground just littered with corpses or a river turning red after just having won a huge battle feels incredible.
As for battles tactics, utilizing retreat is especially important. Whenever you find yourself in an unfavorable situation, it is better to regroup, replenish your troops and engage from a more preferable position. Flanking, attacking from the back and outnumbering play a huge factor. Archers will friendly fire a lot if they have to shoot over your guys who are fighting in melee. You have to either get them behind the enemy or just have them stop shooting. Most units have different stances and abilities which can help greatly to sway the tide in your favor.
Simply put, I found my strategic skill put to the test and enjoyed it greatly.
And while certain creative freedoms were taken for the sake of gameplay, the stories are based mostly on real events. I found myself reading about some key figures and events which were presented in the game. The last time I had this sort of edutainment was with Age of Empires 2 and it felt great.
An easy 9/10 game. Would recommend to anyone who likes RTS games.
I'm 'n huge fan of Ancestors Legacy, I got it on Steam and I haven't doubted my purchase once.
Good Graphics
Different mechanics
Bit of a learning curve
Quite the challenge
