Press Quotes
“Fast RTS with great animated medieval troops clashing and conquering sectors like in Company of Heroes.” 82 – Gamestar “Evolutionary rather than revolutionary, Ancestors: Legacy takes the best of the genre, adds a dash of Dark Age and at the end of it comes out as one of the strongest entries to the RTS stable this year.” 80 – Strategy Gamer “Ancestors Legacy scratches the itch for a traditional RTS...” 77 – IGN com
