It all happened in the darkest century of the medieval Europe, when a visionary Pope ignited the flames of the first crusade and united the rivaling nations for one single cause: to conquer the Holy Land.

I find myself constantly wrestleing with the camera. The gameplay itself is great, but I'd rather just buy Rome Total War and not have to deal with the camera issues. The combat in the game is superior to that of RTW. If the camera is fixed, then this will be more cometitive with RTW.

A great surprise by a unknown developer. I bought this game through a Christmas sale one year but didn't play it right away. I finally got around to playing this and I'm extremely glad I did. It's a solid game and it doesn't try to be more than what it is, a great RTS. I thoroughly enjoy the time period in which this takes place and the true history behind the story within the game. It plays really well and I never once had any issues with crashes or glitches. I did also enjoy the option to restart a mission without a penalty against me. I actually "cheated" a little in this game to earn extra gold at the beginning of each mission (editing the .sav file through a hex editor). Even with doing this I fould the game still very challenging but very rewarding. The last mission was diffcult but I feel it really capped off the game well. It was what your army was fighting for throughout the game and it was a very satisfying end to a solid game.

+ Focused on what it does best and didn't try to do to much
+ For a game that is over 5 years old the graphics weren't that bad
+ Challenging but rewarding in the same token
- Enemy sigh seemed to reach further then your own (some missions this was extremely frustrating)

Game does not work on my new computer, game did not work on my old computer. I have gotten no help from the game company when I reached out.

I was so hoping this would be an enjoyable Knights in the Crusades twist, but am feeling frustrated and twisted around!
The camera controls are terrible, no real overview of the field and I kept floating through mountains and lost all sense of location for both my troops and I.
Back to Mount and Blade and Crusader Kings for me.

"Crusaders: Thy Kingdom Come" is somehow slower paced than all the empire building, continent spanning, grand strategy games out there. That's a real accomplishment, considering I can sodomize the entire Karling dynasty and form Francia in less time than it takes a single retinue of crusaders to identify, track, and engage a band of filthy Saracens. Might as well be playing this game in real time, over the course of hundreds of years.

I see why people downvote this game. Bought Crusaders to see for myself, and what the negative reviews say is true.

There's a great game in here, underneath egregiously slow pacing. The second mission has you running your army around for 15 minutes, 30 if you don't set it to 2x speed, before reaching combat. Your guys literally don't run as fast as their legs would have you believe.

But again, there's a great game in here. The character models are VERY impressive, the maps look quite beautiful, your army's progression and upgrades are very well done, and the inter-faction rivalries keep things interesting.

This is practically a Total War game by another developer. Sdaly, it's too slow to hold anyone's interest. If you can endure the sluggish pace mission after mission, you'll be treated to a solid title in Crusaders. Though there aren't many I'd say are willing to tolerate that.

a bit dated for my liking, maybe 10 years ago i might have gotten into this one but nowadays....nope. having said that it is a good game but i prefer to spend my time on the total war series instead.

Not a bad game overall, kind of a discount Total War, so if you like that you might like this. In terms of its historical accuracy, its not bad. The general outline of the campaign in this game is quite faithful to the course of the events of the real First Crusade, so that is a definite bonus. However the armor and weapons portrayed are anachronistic, being of thirteenth and fourteenth century design. The real knights of the First Crusade looked rather more like what the stereotypical image of Vikings is, rather than full plate and elaborate heraldry. I'd recommend it if you're a history buff, but if you're a hardcore RTS powergamer, not so much. I rate it 7/10.

I purchased this game on cd years ago and made it to the second to last battle. I bought the Steam windows 10 and I have a work around to run. First download and when you hit play allow the first three direct x to download but when xfire comes up up hit English etc. then do not agree to terms and conditions. Exit out of it by cancel and I think the lan player is the thing that is the cause of the crash problem It runs perfect on Windows 10 for me. This is a beast of a game if you enjoy a fight to the bitter end this is it. And go to options and select large army mine doubled in size as in I have to Avatars etc. That will save you lots of money and the first battle I have six units instead of three. Next battle I had 10 units and enough money to heal all of them. Paradox and Neocore need to revamp this gem of a game. Down the road the battles become Epic.

This is a rather interesting game. The campaign is based on the First Crusade, and is pretty faithful to how that conflict went. Battles can be difficult, but still fun. The camera is a bit wonky, though. Also, the graphics have aged badly. Decent for what it is, though. Suggest getting on discount.

This game is a disaster.
-Units moving too slow, and the max game speed is only x2.
-camera control is terribly annoying, and this is the major reason i quit this game just in mission 2
