How much time do I need to beat Ancestors Legacy?

Ancestors Legacy features 6 campaigns - each has 5 missions. These missions can be really long and can often take you more than an hour. This means that the campaign on the default difficulty level can take you 25-30 hours to beat. In addition to that the game also has skirmishes mode where you can fight on special maps and in two different modes - Annihilation and Domination. All of this makes Ancestors Legacy a lengthy RTS with a lot of content - what is more, the developers are planning on releasing more historical campaigns.

Ancestors Legacy in a nutshell

1. A complex RTS game developed by Destructive Creations, a Polish indie developer. The game is set in medieval times and the campaign is based on historical events.
2. During the game you will control four different factions: Slavs, Germans, Vikings and Anglo-Saxons.
3. The game mechanics focus on large-scale battles and the key to success is to come up with the right tactic based on terrain.
4. Besides battles in open space, you can also conquer towns and villages that belong to your enemies. Don't forget about economics: expand your base and gather resources.
5. The game features diverse missions - depending on a goal you may have to, e.g. build armies, defend yourself in castle ruins, control single heroes and perform sabotages or conquer strongholds by using siege weaponry.
6. The game's overall difficulty is rather high (even the default one can cause problems). However, despite of that, the game is highly satisfying.
