    45 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's story is generally well-received, featuring enjoyable writing and a humorous tone reminiscent of Monty Python, which enhances the overall atmosphere. Players appreciate the narrative depth and character development, although some find the storytelling style choppy and the voice acting inconsistent. The campaign offers a mix of main and optional objectives, encouraging strategic thinking and engagement with the plot, while the ability to skip dialogue caters to those who prefer a more streamlined experience.

    • “There is a story, accompanied by plenty of spoken dialogue in several accents before and after battles, in the middle of a campaign level, etc. The texts are often quite funny, though I can see how some people might not like the way this is done.”
    • “Narrative: an attempt at Python storytelling, narration, and very little luck involved.”
    • “Humor: very choppy story with some tolerable voice acting.”
    • “There is a story, accompanied by plenty of spoken dialogue in several accents before and/or after battles, in the middle of a campaign level, etc. The texts are often quite funny, though I can see how some people might not like the way this is done.”

    • “The story was rather enjoyable - I loved the Monty Python-esque humor and the crusader is probably my favorite character.”
  • graphics

  • gameplay
    13 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay is praised for its brilliant strategic depth, combining straightforward mechanics with engaging battle events, though some may find it too simplistic. While it features solid old-school turn-based strategy elements, the standout aspects are its storytelling and board-game styled graphics.

    • “Solid gameplay, some nicely thought-out battle events.”

  • music
    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music and sound effects in the game are generally well-received, with many players appreciating the background music, though some find it can become repetitive over time. Suggestions for improvement include adding more medieval music and voiceovers to enhance the overall experience. However, the music alone does not seem to elevate the gameplay sufficiently to create a compelling or engaging atmosphere.

    • “Great music and sound effects.”
    • “The music background is nice, but may get a bit boring after a while.”
    • “The only things I would add to make the game even better are bigger tabletop maps, voice overs instead of text in missions, more medieval music, more units, and more campaigns and missions in the future for the game.”
    • “The music is okay.”
    • “I would add more medieval music to enhance the game's atmosphere.”
