A nostalgic, approachable turn-based wargame with colorful retro visuals and light tactical depth.

What players say

Players are split: some enjoy the nostalgia and the battle ai, but many more call the game unplayable due to bugs that softlock the campaign and black-screen the conquer the realm mode. Reviewers also note missing features from the original, such as fast travel, and call the crusader units overpowered.
