Our take on Crusaders: Thy Kingdom Come
Rather than treating each battle as a separate RTS encounter, the campaign carries a chosen knight, veteran soldiers and faction relationships from mission to mission. Between battles, troop management and hero development become part of the strategy.
What is Crusaders: Thy Kingdom Come?
Follow a chosen knight through a mission-by-mission campaign from Constantinople to Jerusalem.
Select one of five heroes, each with distinct skills and starting resources, and build the character through experience and rising ranks. Battles use large armies on varied terrain, where elevation, weather and visibility affect unit abilities and combat. Between missions, manage troops, supporting characters, equipment, hero upgrades and acquired ducats. Soldiers gain experience and can learn skills, making veteran units part of the campaign’s evolving army. Faction choices affect relations with other groups and can bring rewards such as special units, skills or another hero. A Faith score changes with decisions, influencing morale and the effects of Christian relics.
