Plebby Quest: The Crusades

I would really love to recommend PlebbyQuest, but I just can't. The idea behind this game - a grand strategy in a casual format - really appeals to me, and I believe it's a solid game at its core. However, a few decisions were made that, at a certain point, make the game simply monotonous and tedious. Add to that a few issues of a... geographical and historical nature, and you get a picture of wasted potential. First things first. The concept of the game and its core gameplay are fine. The combat resolution is very enjoyable, although you can quickly notice that there is one specific army composition that is vastly superior, making experimentation pointless.

can play it all day all night

Plebby Quest: The Crusades takes the familiar ingredients of medieval grand strategy and turns them into something more colorful, humorous, and approachable.

Other rulers have their own relationships, ambitions, and attitudes, so reckless expansion can quickly create additional enemies. Diplomacy becomes an essential part of survival because maintaining useful relationships can be just as valuable as winning battles. A neighboring kingdom might serve as a convenient ally, a temporary buffer against another power, or an eventual target once circumstances change. This creates an enjoyable rhythm of watching the political landscape and deciding when cooperati…

Risk with generals and religion. Absolute Cinema.
