Like the MOBAs they inspired, real-time strategy games have always been one of the most intimidating and least accessible game genres. It’s a big reason why I don’t play them a ton. But if you give me something with a clean, polished look and a more specific focus, I can get behind it. It’s a big reason why Company of Heroes 2 is one of my favorite RTS games despite my general disinterest in historical military settings – an aesthetic that Ancestors Legacy from developer Destructive Creations aims to pillage and plunder until it’s no more.
Ancestors Legacy is the type of game that shamelessly displays its influences on its sleeve. By featuring a tightly focused gameplay loop that aims to highlight small-scale squad tactics over grand strategy that spans continents, matches feel like much more intense and personal affairs. Since this is an RTS you’ll still have to do things like build up a base and manage resources, but by the middle of a match those things are at the back of your mind as you’re setting traps, adjusting formations, and finding the best choke points and flank angles to take down your enemy.
