Paradox and Neocore's new strategy title is put to the test on IncGamers:
"If I've learned anything at all from the harsh battlefields of the 12th Century Holy Land, it's to never leave a man behind in the desert to have his eyes picked out by carrion. For a start that's kind of a grim way to go, but in Lionheart: Kings' Crusade it also has practical value. In other strategic wargames you may be used to treating your soldiers like human sausage meat in a tactical grinder. Here, you really need to look after your guys."
GameGrin Writes- "Holy war time! Yep, Lionheart: King's Crusade is a real time strategy based on one of the most infamous wars ever; the war between the Christians led by King Richard, and the Muslim armies of Saladin, both fighting over the holy land known as Jerusalem. This places you in the era of the Third Crusade, spanning the years 1189-1192. With this, you can expect a series of battles that take you throughout the Middle East on a drive to conquer all 16 kingdoms in the region - not forgetting the tonnes of gruesome bloody battles you will have on the way!"
Well, we really thought we had the holy land under control, but now the pesky sultan is messing around our turf and starting trouble. It’s time to go teach him a lesson.
Lionheart Kings’ Crusade is an RTS that allows you to join the 3rd crusade and decide where you would like to take history from there. You control hundreds of troops and fight through various locations and scenarios in your campaign to take back the holy land.
Name changes are all the rage these days. Remember Puff Daddy? Of course you don’t, because he doesn’t exist anymore. Rappers, actors, and professional wrestlers aren’t the only ones changing their names. Lionheart: King’s Crusade for PC has changed received a titular overhaul too. No longer bearing the title of Lionheart, the game is now called The King’s Crusade.
Awesome! I was worried this wasn't going to make it as a polished product, but it seems Neocore is shaping up to be a quality developer.
Love this review! Sounds clunky in some areas but worth it overall!
