Developer: Virtual Alchemy
Available: on PC- Steam
As the Grandmaster of a fledgling knightly order, players will rise to challenge the pandemonium that has seized The Continent. Band of Crusaders combines real-time combat with deep strategic planning as players recruit and manage a diverse group of crusaders—knights, spearmen, archers, and more—battling against a backdrop of a Europe corrupted by devils and eldritch cults.
The game's rich narrative allows players to engage in emergent storytelling where every decision impacts their journey across historically-inspired 1350s A.D. landscapes. From managing the mental and material needs of your troops to engaging in visceral battles against bandits and demonic forces, the game promises a comprehensive medieval strategy experience.
"Band of Crusaders is about transforming a ragtag band of peasants into celebrated heroes amidst a Europe where chaos reigns and Archdemons loom at the gates," explains Dominik Sypnicki, CEO of Virtual Alchemy.
Art Director Kamil Mickiewicz adds, "Our game melds precise historical authenticity in tools and armor with the fantastical – demons inspired by biblical texts and European myths. It's our take on what a Witcher-less world would entail, filled with dire stakes and raw, unmitigated heroism."
For fans eager to delve into this corrupted medieval realm, Band of Crusaders' Steam page is already live, where the game can be wishlisted to stay updated on its impending release.
