Edit: I looked into this company and the previous game. This is a scam!!! The previous game is exactly the same game. Same map, same interface, and the same issues. Just rebranded with different kings and cities etc. I will be sure to follow them now and warn people when the next rebrand of this trash comes along. Which is sure to come now that they abandoned this one! What a shame that they didn't take the time to fix this one to begin with. They could have had a great game instead of a scam cash grab. I regret 2 things most of all. Number1- that I have to give it a negative review. The game has great potential. It mixes a few types of rts games together and does it pretty well. It was fun, at first. Then It started crashing not far in. And it did it over and over again. Usually when entering and leaving my hamlet. Not to mention that after setting the walls to upgrade, if I left the hamlet to the over map and back before they finished, they would restart the upgrade. Once they were mostly done and they reset from the start. But, I would have lived with that if it wasn't for the crashing. But now time for the second thing. Number 2- That I was more than 2 hours in to the game when the crashing started. This was my fault. I left it paused while I fixed dinner. I'd say give it time to cook but it seems, from the time of the last update, that it is about as cooked as they are gonna make it. Ill check back in a while and see though (mostly since I can no longer refund), but the state of gaming as a whole doesn't give me much hope for it. Almost forgot this bug! I had to attack constadinople (not fixing the spelling) with another army. We outclassed the defenders by a lot so I let it auto decide. Well it decided to have us win but the city gain in garrison by about 100 and the quest not complete. I had to repeat it with a much harder garrison and this time I did not auto complete it. Half way into the battle it crashed and that was the end for me.
Its just Kingdom Wars with a different name. Same sound effects, same gameplay mechanics, same everything. If you own any of the Kingdom Wars, i'd just go reinstall that instead of spending money on this clone.
Constant game crashes and freezes, so bad I can't even Ctrl-Alt-Del the game to close it. I literally have to hard shutdown my computer and restart it. I really really want to like this game 100%, and if anything changes soon, I will happily change my review... If it doesn't get fixed in a week or two I will not update this review. I have amazing hardware, and this is clearly not the issue. May be memory leaks, I have no idea!!
Cool game with early 2000's vibe, but is largely unfinished, lacks in basic mechanics, unstable, and very repeatative...don't get me wrong, I'm not saying it is worthless, but sure as hell ain't worth the price...personally I wouldn't give more then 3€ for it...if you are interested, try getting it on sale, otherwise, waste of money.
game is not stable and crashes constantly!
look the game has a good chance to give total war a run, but it crashes after every battle.. fix the game and ill change my review
Na ja. Eigentlich eine schöne Simulation der Kreuzzüge. Nur leider zu wenig unterschiedliche Einheiten und Fraktionen. Es wäre schön die Johanniter als Fraktion zu haben und die Ritter vom Heiligen Grab (Jerusalem) So wie die Ritter von Tripolis, Antiochia und Edessa. Des Weiteren fehlen bei den Fraktionen die zugehörige Bogenschützen, leichten Schwertkämpfer und Streitkolbeneinheiten. Hier ist Medieval Total War Crusaders erheblich breiter und besser aufgestellt. Diesen Nachteil mag auch nicht die besser graphische Qualität und die angepasste Karte aufzufangen. Eigentlich schade, da das Konzept ansonsten recht gut scheint. Ebenso fehlen solche legendären Burganlagen wie Krak de Chevalier, Château Pèlerinoder, Montfort oder Nimrod. Somit für Fans der Kreuzzüge leider eine Enttäuchung. Daher leider dennoch einen Daumen nach unten. Well, it's actually a nice simulation of the Crusades. Unfortunately, there aren't enough different units and factions. It would be nice to have the Knights Hospitaller as a faction, as well as the Knights of the Holy Sepulchre (Jerusalem), the Knights of Tripoli, Antioch, and Edessa. Furthermore, the factions lack the corresponding archers, light swordsmen, and mace units. Medieval Total War Crusaders is considerably broader and better positioned in this regard. Even the better graphics and customized map cannot compensate for this disadvantage. This is a shame, as the concept otherwise seems quite good. Legendary castles such as Krak de Chevalier, Château Pèlerinoder, Montfort, and Nimrod are also missing. This makes it a disappointment for fans of the Crusades. Therefore, unfortunately, we have to give it a thumbs down.
Hi, Reverie and indie.io team. Greetings from Indonesia. I just wanted to say that I really enjoy the game and I amazed that an indie team from Canada (used to study there at the Art Institute of Vancouver back in 2006-2008), you guys can make a really enjoyable game like this. Despite all the CTD that I experienced while playing the game and other game balancing issue but the game has tons of potential nevertheless. Just hoping that you can keep improving the game and make the game more stable in the future ahead. Also just some idea suggestion from my part, if you can add some total war elements like adding Spy or Assassin game or some Crusader Kings elements like select your own queen to have a heir design for your current or future game, that would make the game even more interesting. Thanks for creating this game, it really helps with relieving some of the stress out of my daily lives. Keep improving the game, guys! :)
粗略过了个教程,可以发现粗糙的外表下是很有野心的框架设计,但除了游戏框架设计以外感觉都是依托。RTS战场部分操作手感像便秘,十分难受。技能栏位ui啥的更是依托,如果说画面是世纪初的水平,UI那就是上世纪的水平。甚至画面上似乎也有BUG,会突然模型错乱成一坨虽然是一瞬间。摄像机位也十分狗屎,无法像战锤那样放很低看细节。如果你是世纪初的游戏那就是神,但现在是2025,那你就是大粪 不知道后续是否会优化了 ---------------------------------------------------------- 既然这么说,我就继续硬着头玩了几小时,只能说体验真的很一般。 翻译不一致,任务里翻译为谷仓,实际为畜棚,任务翻译为草药师,实际为药剂所等等,不过也能联系上,问题不大 操作有延迟,点击单位响应需要大概半秒?这应该是操作感觉不顺畅的主要原因。就不能学全战整个兵牌或者帝国时代那样显示编队吗?左下角那一撮真的很不伦不类。弓箭手的射程我到现在都没看明白过 AI能虚空暴兵,占领的城镇马上拉出大量满状态守卫队,隔壁全战好歹也是残血状态。就当是为了限制玩家吧,我也认了。 我并不要求你能达到全战的画面水平,但你摄像头能不能再拉低一些,看士兵打架也算是战争游戏的乐趣之一。 在大地图可以快捷键编队,快速选中自己部队,这很好,但不能双击下或者别的什么办法快速切换到视角,不然每次都得满地图找。而且每次进RTS视角后出来,大地图编队就没了。 总有些莫名其妙的BUG,而且很多,我一小时能碰见一两次。比如我点击小地图切换视野,会突然冒出来个农民的头像。出现旁白时,突然卡死啥也干不了。我提前研究了科技,任务无法完成等等。总体感觉十分粗糙,你不会要说It just work吧
Just played two hours on it in the tutorial mode which was quite well made. So far game play exceeds my expectations and looks like a good title for the crusader period genre. This coming from a guy who has every single Total War title in his steam library.
