About To Battle!: Hell's Crusade

A Foul Fog has risen, turning Unwashed Sinners Poxy, and Lo! an Army of Demon's doth March in Evil Crusade! Take the Cross and Raiseth a Holy Army. March across festering marshlands, liberate besieged villagers, brave evil forest, and fight tooth-and-nail in treacherous ravines.

Gather peasants and forge them into veteran fighters. Liberate towns to gather more skilled fighters and equipment. But an army requires resources, and resources are scarce. Will you keep supplies at the ready to replenish your soldiers in mid-battle? Or outfit extra fighters before the action? Weigh your choices carefully. The foe will punish thoughtlessness.

Only a well-executed formation can withstand a Beastly Cavalry stampede. Only a meticulously planned castle defense can hold steady against a siege of Demon Knights and Bloodsucker heavy-infantry.Every unit has distinct skills. All are powerful, but none may survive alone. Teamwork is the only path to victory.

If you expect this fight to be easy, O! Ye shall learn. Chaotic, desperate battles will test even the most seasoned commanders. Tis not enough to be clever. Ye must stand firm with Faith.
Archers fire volleys to support infantry locked in grim melee. Skirmishers harass and keep watch for enemy ambushers. Cavalry speeds around the flanks, crushing enemies severed off from the horde. Every unit has it's use. Here's a sneak peek of just a few:
The backbone of any city-fighting army. Tough and dangerous. But Soldiers are slow and vulnerable when the situation calls for speed and adaptability.
While Spearman can't dole-out the demon death dealing as mightily as Soldiers, there is no better choice of infantry unit if you need to cover ground fast.
The real problem with demons is that they just stink beyond all reason. Good to keep your distance. Ballista is the perfect tool for impaling a black demon heart from about three hexes away. Very handy, but rare. Be sure to protect your ballista.
A powerful shock force capable of smashing lesser demon units in a single charge. Yet caution your attack - Men-at-Arms don't have the endurance for a drawn-out melee.
A strange race of humans that live in forest, far yond the realms of men. Normally peaceable, but since the Demon Army took to Evil Crusade, the Headless Men have been acting up. They aren't too dangerous - unless they get you surrounded. Beware the ambush.
There seems to be several varieties of imps. All of them are pains in the arse. But Imp Riders....you're gonna hate these guys. They're faaast and they got a dangerous skirmish attack. Don't let these guys catch you in the open.
These wicked fiends hit hard, and if you don't have the right tools to punch through solid metal armor, you're in for a painful death. Do not take the Demon Knight lightly.
What needs be said? A big, ugly beast atop a bigger uglier beast, which is charging way faster than anything that huge has right to. You'll need armor defeating capability and advantageous terrain. Even still, expect casualties.
Two distinct, single-player campaigns:The Adventure Campaign follows a band of brigands who mix up with one of the last godly men capable of fighting back the hordes of hell. Stinky-cheese voice acting with Monty Python-esque quips will cool down the inferno somewhat, but the action builds into epic, hour+ long battles. Please, stay hydrated.
The Strategy Campaign gives a no-nonsense nose dive right into old school strategy. The armies are smaller and the battles shorter, meaning every turn is critical and small mistakes are costly. Take your time and think your way through - defeat will strike fast and hard. Hardcore gamers can challenge themselves for a perfect Golden Goblet playthrough. Be ready to punch that restart button in sweaty revenge!

Hey gamers, I played for 0.3 hours and it's definitely a game.2 found this helpful
Good fun. Still enjoying it after 14 hours of playing time. Nice, old fashioned turn based / hex based wargame. Pretty easy to learn the basics & you won't need the tutorial if you are familiar with this kind of game. Only one minor gripe really. The awful voice acting becomes real annoying real quick. However, others have said that they enjoy the "humour", so each to their own I guess. It's not a game-breaker in the end. Just turn off the sound and have fun. Good value for only $11.50 NZ.2 found this helpful
Brilliant strategic gameplay, the best example of simple but deep I've seen in a long time. Brilliant humor. Also, the voice acting seems purposefully cheap and that makes the whole game feel like a certain Monty Python movie, regularly interrupted by awesome strategic battles. As a fan of tabletop strategy games with tons of painted minatures strewn all over the play area... I just love the graphics! Although I have to admit that they are simplistic enough that a lot of graphics-over-gameplay-addicts might find them unappealing. Fu[b][/b]ck you, the game is awesome.1 found this helpful
An enjoyable, turn based game, which gets progressively harder, as the story moves forward. I must admit that I found the normal difficulty level challenging enough, which is great, as there is a harder, less forgiving experience, for players to get their teeth into, once they have managed to conquer this one. There is also an easier level for novices. All in all, a good game experience, although the voiceovers could have been better.1 found this helpful
SO. This is really a fantasy General light game. I think its pretty good for the most part. Solid gameplay, some nice thought out battle events. Good Nice animation in daylight Solid UI Straight forward mechanics Some good tactical play The levelling up system Bad Nighttime battles are confusing linear campaign Unit sculpts are almost all the same or hard to tell apart Whats awful is the voice acting and script. Incredibly cringworthy and not in keeping with its sort of tabletop theme.1 found this helpful
Good game. Good story and you have to think a bit.
