Ancestors Legacy: Saladin's Conquest

2019
Strategy

Historical

Saladin's Conquest refines the brutal, squad-based warfare of its parent game into a focused historical campaign. The experience is defined by managing small, distinct units of archers, cavalry, and spearmen across tactical terrain, where ambushes from dense forests or flanking maneuvers from hills decide every skirmish. It leaves its mark through a punishing, attrition-heavy pace that makes each hard-fought victory feel earned, rewarding players who master positioning and resource denial over brute force.
