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.
Best GAMECRASH SIMULATOR ever... If you like multiple Gamecrashs + Restarts
why does my game keep crashing after i view my castles
Knights of the Crusades is a greta mix of multiple styles. It has the feel of a real time grand stratergy mixed with base building and RTS all in one. I had some minor issues with crashing, but these were few and far between. Overall, a labour of love and fun little game to play. Just remember to bring some food generating units when you storm a city!

♥♥♥♥ writing. Other Crusade games are a lot better.
Only a few hours in and must say I like this game. Different than anygame Ive ever played in this genre. Youre pulled into a city or battle then onto the world map. Like the flow, seems like will be a pretty cool game.
Has to be crowned as the game with the most bugs I have ever played. Crashes constantly, and the payoff for playing falls off after about thirty minutes. Bad game, don't buy. This is my first negative review for a game. I'd rather hype up games I enjoy rather than speak poorly of someone's work, but this is just a trashy cash grab. Literally buy anything else.
All in all, I love this game. If you're a fan of Total War and RTS battles, you'll like it too. Only issue is the game has some crashing issues, particularly in big battles, even on a fairly powerful PC with graphics set to low. Game definitely needs some polishing, but very good foundation to build off of. Hopefully in the future theyll open it up for modding.
Fun .
