- “I did also enjoy the option to restart a mission without a penalty against me.”

- “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.”
- “If you can endure the sluggish pace mission after mission, you'll be treated to a solid title in Crusaders.”
- “Enemy sight seemed to reach further than your own; in some missions, this was extremely frustrating.”
