Knights of the Crusades

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!!

DO NOT BUY THIS GAME ITS A SCAM. HORRIBLE GAME WITH LOTS OF BROKEN PARTS THAT DO NOT WORK. I REEALIZED THAT THEY ARE ACTUALLY RE RELEASIONG THE EXACT SAME GARBAGE OVER AND OVER WITH A NEW NAME. SAVE YOUR SELF. EVEN IF IT WASNT A SCAM ITS NOT A GOOD GAME.

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!

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.

It would've been a nice game, except seemingly after 1.0 hit, the studio just stopped? No activity on Steam or Discord for almost a year. There's a myriad of issues still in the game, including random crashes (right now I'm at 5 minutes between crashes). Considering their previous games are very similar, I'd guess they are working on a new game right now and just abandoned this (and previous) ones. Looking into it, their new game, City States: Medieval, got its first community post around the time their communication on Steam for this game stopped. Therefore the studio is still active, but ignoring their other games.

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.
