Ancestors Legacy
Ancestors Legacy
Ancestors Legacy, développé et édité par Destructive Creations avec le concours de 1C Entertainment, est paru le 22 mai 2018 sur PC, PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch et Xbox One. Ce jeu de stratégie en temps réel, mêlant tactique et gestion de ressources, plonge le joueur dans le Moyen Âge européen à travers une suite de campagnes où l'on commande l'une des quatre nations disponibles : Vikings, Saxons, Germains ou Slaves. S'appuyant sur l'Unreal Engine 4, le titre combine construction de bases et affrontements par escouades sur de vastes champs de bataille, avec une caméra cinématique permettant de suivre l'action au plus près. Sa campagne principale est estimée à environ vingt-neuf heures et demie, et le parcours complet à quarante-trois heures, pour un prix de 34,99 euros. Le score Metacritic s'élève à 77 et la note agrégée à 75,68.
L'accueil critique a été nuancé : GameStar a salué un RTS rapide avec de superbes animations de troupes médiévales se affrontant et conquérant des secteurs à la manière de Company of Heroes, tandis que Hooked Gamers a relevé des missions assez similaires consistant à établir puis développer une base avant d'écraser l'ennemi. Certains joueurs sur Metacritic ont exprimé un désintérêt pour le genre ou, à l'inverse, ont vanté sa musique et son approche de petit groupe tactique, et un avis négatif sur Steam a regretté un HUD très mauvais.

Avis des critiques et joueurs
Critiques de la Presse (Metacritic)
« Problems such as fairly samey missions: getting a base, building a base, building a mega army, to then overwhelm their base, and there are a fair few missions like that in this game. But, all in all, Ancestors adds enough of a twist to that classic formula to keep most RTS fans on their toes, while giving them a decent level of enjoyment. »
« Fast RTS with great animated medieval troops clashing and conquering sectors like in Company of Heroes. »
« Beautifully presented tactical massacre in medieval times. »
« 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. »
« Ancestors Legacy is not for every player that loves the RTS genre because it lacks the depth and complexity of its kind, but at the same time will enchant newcomers to the style thanks to its simplicity, great and tactic encounters, attractive campaigns, marvelous aesthetics and an atmospheric soundtrack. »
« If you are in search of a good RTS with a lot of single player contents, try Ancestors Legacy. »
« Overall, Ancestors Legacy isn’t insanely different from other popular RTS entries out there. What it does have are a lot of interesting and unique options and gameplay strengths that will make it a popular choice for those RTS players that hold strategy and planning higher than overwhelming enemies by sheer force. The graphics, gameplay, and multiplayer modes make this title a successful first expedition into the RTS genre for Destructive Creations. »
« Ancestors Legacy could have been a revolution in the RTS genre if not for its extreme lack of content. Yet, a very deep gameplay mixed with superior animations and great AI make it one of the best RTS titles available on the market. »

« Whereas there are some issues later on in the game with some missions getting very frustrating and a bit of same-yness, the game is brilliant, brutal and well flavored. A pleasure to play it. »
« I see a story incomprehensible to developers. The Duchy of Lithuania, not the Kingdom of Poland. »
« Ancestors Legacy – это историческая стратегия в реальном времени, реконструирующая кровавые битвы средневековой Европы. В игре сочетаются управление ресурсами и строительство поселений с жестокими баталиями на обширных полях сражений. Возможности Unreal Engine 4 позволили разработчикам воссоздать Средневековье во всех пугающих деталях. Лично участвуйте в массовых кровопролитных боях, благодаря кинематографической камере. Простое нажатие кнопки переместит вас в самую гущу жестокой битвы. »
« Best RTS game for years! Beautiful graphic, great gameplay, many fractions. It's MUST HAVE for any strategy enthusiast. »
« Game constantly crashes Game constantly crashes Game constantly crashes Game constantly crashes »
« A decent combat system spoilt by base building. You can't call your game "Historical" and then put in it some barracks that produce units while burnning. I mean, recruits literally train on the backyard of the barracks while the battle rages on. It's like if i'd go "Wait a minute, I'll push up to build some muscle" before a bar fight. It breaks any immersion completely, especially when some character say "Burn the barracks to cut them from reinforcements". It works in old school RTS games, but non of them supposed to be a historical realistic experience. The game looks gorgeous and I really like the animations, but that base building system is just a deal breaker for me. »
