Island Crusaders

Wow! What is it with these one-man Devs who LOVE making games that are so hard and unbalanced that they are simply unplayable!?!! Don't they play their own games, at least once, before releasing them??! Sad fact: This game could have been better than the original one it tries to emulate. . . But instead this dev only made a harder version! Also no updates, patches, or anything since Dec 2021! An easy 'hard' pass (pun intended) for me!

[code]Written By Hidden Gems Review : https://store.steampowered.com/curator/38624426/, Follow me! [/code] Here you can see my Gameplay : https://youtu.be/8hfiNaz5qhU Island Crusaders is a Strategic siege game. Basically the game is a decent copy of Bad North with less price, the core and the gameplay of the game it's exactly the same, the enemies come from boats to siege your bastion and you have to expel them. For complete the game took me arround 2 hours so it's pretty short but sometimes was a bit challenging for complete the stage so basically you will use the reset button. Beside is cheap with single guy development still have a big issue with the game and it's there aren't a Vsync option so the game run at 100 % of cpu and gpu with very low graphic quality for a game that don't have the best graphics, you know isn't witcher 3 graphic quality... and I have a I5 and a nvidia 1070 gtx...

Fun, cute, and intense. A cheap and small game, fun for quick playthroughs. And a good challenge!

A casual RTS indie game that is fairly reminiscent of the game Bad North. Despite having very casual and basic controls it pleasantly offers a bit of a challenge at times during the main campaign. For those that want more of a challenge than normal, there are "Expert" missions available after the main campaign which ramp up the difficulty by a large margin. The game can be a bit rough around the edges at times, but it runs smoothly, is pleasant to look at, and has enjoyable music and sound design. The gameplay is easy to pick up and learn and new units are presented often enough to keep the gameplay fresh and provide the player with various strategies to victory. The developer of the game is very friendly and open to constructive criticism/suggestions to improve the game and is quick to fix bugs and other various problems. The primary "rough around the edges" points at this time of review are that sometimes the visibility can be a bit poor, due to the heavy use use of post-processing visual effects and the dense fog when you are zoomed out all the way (which you will be most of the time). With that being said, it didn't ruin my gameplay experience at all. Just potential area…

This is the a RTS game which you gotta respect. It will require a lot of logical thinking and strategy to win. I loved to play it and die, die, and die again hahaha This is that game that brings the adrenaline in your veins.
