The gameplay is generally well-received for its blend of tactical RTS mechanics inspired by Company of Heroes, featuring flanking, unit veterancy, and dynamic combat with medieval units. While praised for being fun, fast-paced, and accessible with solid combat and economy systems, several reviews note it feels simplified, lacks strategic depth, and suffers from balance and polished mechanics issues in its beta state. Players appreciate its unique setting, diverse factions, and engaging multiplayer modes but hope for more content, refined mechanics, and improved balance in the final release.
“Ancestors Legacy Free Peasant Edition has fantastic gameplay, beautiful graphics, intuitive UI, is extremely well optimized, and falls cleanly into the category of easy to learn, hard to master.”
“Unlike many entries in the medieval RTS genre, in Ancestors you control a small number of squads at a tactical level -- similar to the mechanics in Company of Heroes.”
“So yeah, fantastic music, splendid voice acting, pretty great gameplay & combat albeit when you try to manage stuff you just can't really afford to take a close look but that's alright I guess; the many varied unit squads, upgrades, buffs, skills, 4 factions, different themed maps, single player content on the way, wonderful artwork, historical facts during loading, a cool village mechanic among others like hiding, flanking, burning down buildings, it's a really cool game.”
“Clumsy gameplay, 5 minutes waiting time for game, when you click lobby game freezes, and it doesn't have that feel, sorry boys - starts COH2.”
“After 9 hours of gameplay a bit vs PC and a bit vs players I must say that this is a very very repetitive game, the AI on hard is really hard to beat (they spot your traps and they always wander in random places, always in different locations opposite of where I am). The idea is great but the game becomes very frustrating.”
“Very few units per faction, combined with a streamlined gameplay lacking strategic options like base building, defenses, doctrines, cover system etc. makes for a boring and shallow multiplayer.”
