Ancestors Legacy Gameplay Trailer Showcases 'Historically Accurate' Medieval Rts
It's no secret that I am not a fan of Destructive Creation's previous game, IS Defense. (Its debut effort, Hatred, was mainly just embarrassing.) But the studio's new project, a "historically accurate" RTS called Ancestors Legacy (originally just Ancestors, but it was renamed to be "more unique"), looks like it might have a little more going on.
The game features four playable "tribes"—Vikings, Anglo-Saxons, Germans, and Slavs—each with unique units and characteristics, and both large and small-scale battles that unfold across a campaign "inspired by historical events and people." The Vikings who appear in the gameplay trailer, for instance, take advantage of light infantry and cavalry to be more mobile than the other races.
"Vikings play the role of aggressors in the game, so they don’t have permanent buildings that may be considered a 'base.' Their tactics are based on an ambush–attack–retreat formula, and it works frightfully well for them," the studio explained. "They do have some simple settlements, though, and it’s worth noting that they are based on military camps from the 10th–11th century. The tribe as such is based on Vikings who lived in the area of modern-day Norway, Sweden, and Denmark in the period between the 9th and 11th centuries."

Ancestors Legacy doesn't have a release date yet but Destructive Creations said it's coming "soon." For now, you can find out more at destructivecreations.pl.
