The concept of Crusaders: Thy Kingdom Come got me quite excited. “What’s this?” I asked, “Medieval 2: Total War, but with a linear campaign meaning you actually have to care about your troops? Where you’re rewarded more obviously for your strategic prowess, and punished more harshly for your blunders? Onwards!” I cried. Then I played. Then I actually cried.
Hungarian developer Neocore, creator of Lionheart: Kings' Crusade and King Arthur: The Role-Playing Wargame, has signed a long-term publishing deal with Paradox Interactive.
The two combined to release Lionheart: Kings' Crusade last month, but this new deal gives Paradox the publishing rights to the developer's back catalogue and solidifies the business relationship "for many years to come."
Indie sales from around the web for the week of June 2.
GamersGate has slashed 50% off of NeoCore's strategy title Crusaders: Thy Kingdom Come through Sunday as part of their weekend sale.
