One of the most intriguing PC exclusives got a sequel with Crusader Kings III. The monarchy-sim is a cult grand strategy series and offers a surprisingly entertaining experience of creating your very own alternate history. Check out the launch trailer here!
The most recent Crusader Kings is almost a decade old but that didn’t stop it from constantly being among the most-played games on PC. Not the least thanks to a dedicated community who has found gaming bliss in roleplaying during the medieval period.
In Crusader Kings III, players can decide which year to start out as and which monarch they want to become. After that, it’s truly an open sandbox that allows pretty much everything. Want to ally with the Russian Tsar as the King of Sweden and rage war on the rest of Europe? You can do it. Or are you the cunning type who wants to strangle your foes with diplomacy? Go for it. You can even marry off your offspring to bolster allegiances and strengthen your bond with other regions.
Choose a royal or noble house from a number of realms on a map that stretches from Iceland to India, from the Arctic Circle to Central Africa.
Guide a dynasty through the centuries, ensuring the security and power of each new generation. Gather new lands and titles to cement your legacy.
Be a pious king to bring the religious powers to your side, or strike out on your own, designing your own splinter religion and earning everlasting fame or eternal damnation.
Knights, peasant revolts, pilgrimages, Viking raiders… experience the drama and pageantry of the Middle Ages.
It’s this unprecedented freedom of choice that coupled with real historic figures and events which lends Crusader Kings III a charm and depth only a few other franchises have achieved. The newly released third entry has now landed on PC and the gaming community is utterly in love with it. The game currently sits at a very comfortable 91% Positive User Reviews. High praise.
Paradox has traditionally supported their games with lots of meaningful and large DLCs, and Crusader Kings III will no doubt follow these footsteps. CKIII is available right now on PC for $49.99.
