Crusaders: Thy Kingdom Come

I see why people downvote this game. Bought Crusaders to see for myself, and what the negative reviews say is true. There's a great game in here, underneath egregiously slow pacing. The second mission has you running your army around for 15 minutes, 30 if you don't set it to 2x speed, before reaching combat. Your guys literally don't run as fast as their legs would have you believe. But again, there's a great game in here. The character models are VERY impressive, the maps look quite beautiful, your army's progression and upgrades are very well done, and the inter-faction rivalries keep things interesting. This is practically a Total War game by another developer. Sdaly, it's too slow to hold anyone's interest. If you can endure the sluggish pace mission after mission, you'll be treated to a solid title in Crusaders. Though there aren't many I'd say are willing to tolerate that.

A great surprise by a unknown developer. I bought this game through a Christmas sale one year but didn't play it right away. I finally got around to playing this and I'm extremely glad I did. It's a solid game and it doesn't try to be more than what it is, a great RTS. I thoroughly enjoy the time period in which this takes place and the true history behind the story within the game. It plays really well and I never once had any issues with crashes or glitches. I did also enjoy the option to restart a mission without a penalty against me. I actually "cheated" a little in this game to earn extra gold at the beginning of each mission (editing the .sav file through a hex editor). Even with doing this I fould the game still very challenging but very rewarding. The last mission was diffcult but I feel it really capped off the game well. It was what your army was fighting for throughout the game and it was a very satisfying end to a solid game. + Focused on what it does best and didn't try to do to much + For a game that is over 5 years old the graphics weren't that bad + Challenging but rewarding in the same token - Enemy sigh seemed to reach further then your own (some missions this was extremely frustrating)

When it comes to games like this I'm not resistant But resource management and combat animation is almost non existent Expected to fight in the crusades, but was fighting the controls and camera Thought that maybe I'll get fun later in the game, but there's nada. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2887540839 http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=759537854 https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1406684299

forgoten and never updated RIP

Not a bad game overall, kind of a discount Total War, so if you like that you might like this. In terms of its historical accuracy, its not bad. The general outline of the campaign in this game is quite faithful to the course of the events of the real First Crusade, so that is a definite bonus. However the armor and weapons portrayed are anachronistic, being of thirteenth and fourteenth century design. The real knights of the First Crusade looked rather more like what the stereotypical image of Vikings is, rather than full plate and elaborate heraldry. I'd recommend it if you're a history buff, but if you're a hardcore RTS powergamer, not so much. I rate it 7/10.

I was so hoping this would be an enjoyable Knights in the Crusades twist, but am feeling frustrated and twisted around! The camera controls are terrible, no real overview of the field and I kept floating through mountains and lost all sense of location for both my troops and I. Back to Mount and Blade and Crusader Kings for me.

Game does not work on my new computer, game did not work on my old computer. I have gotten no help from the game company when I reached out.

pretty meh

This game is reallny ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ doesn't work correctly on Windows 10. Game was really good on Windows XP but the troops has came from the fantastic world simillar like a Lord of the ring not XI century definitivly.

Worst crusader game ever. Archers refuse to fire when commanded to do so. Melee combat is slow and no way to flank enemies, they just stare at the enemies. Hard to pick a faction, no indication on what their strength or weaknesses are.
