![]() ![]() If you’re looking for a war and conquest game you’ll need to look elsewhere. The game strives to make the people and dynasties in it real and it does a very good job at that. This is a game about people and families, not one about war and conquest. I found the actual combat in the Warhammer series to be much better then in CK3, but after all, I am a warmonger. I found this game to be better due to its depth of strategy plus it lacks the frustration of attempting to move units at the right time and face them in the right direction, like you need to do in the Total War series. When I compare this game to other similar medieval games, like the Total War series (not sure if that is actually a fair comparison but I never played CK2) I find that it stacks up well against them. ![]() I would chalk that up to being a space game fanatic and nothing more. When I compare this to other grand strategy games I’ve played, like Stellaris or Galactic Civilizations 3, I must confess I understood those game concepts a little better and I enjoyed them a little more too. Although it’s deep I feel as though I’ve learned the concepts well enough to play the game without too much frustration and a lot of enjoyment. Crusader Kings 3 is the first Paradox game set in Medieval times that I’ve made a serious attempt to learn. I’ve tried a few Paradox grand strategy games in the past and all of them but Stellaris overwhelmed me. It’s a game with seemingly endless possibilities as you try to ensure your dynasty’s survival. But after all this and you unpause the game, what now?Ĭrusader Kings 3 is certainly worth the time and money you will invest in it trying to decide on the “What Nows.” This game is deep in both lore and strategy and you’ll get immense satisfaction from murdering that pesky, insolent Ruler next door to you. At the very start you’ll need to pick a spouse, choose a lifestyle, nominate your successor, instigate schemes like swaying your Bishop so he will have a higher opinion of you, and maybe even declare a war. This is a brilliant way to offer the needed guidance on what is most important, while never making any one system out of the way for the player.True to the graphic, “What Now?” is the first thing you’ll think when you start CK3 for the first time. The radial menus work well at giving quick access to significant systems, with some of the more complex aspects being relegated to the top of the screen. They clearly took time to see how people play the game, and map the things most important to the front, and worked their way back from there. The way every button on the consoles is used is smartly done with Crusader Kings III. “The core of the game has all been translated expertly, so thankfully, all the bonkers ideas the Crusader Kings III game allows are still present here.” This is a game that rewards experimentation, with each playthrough and new knowledge only helping expand the potential of what you can do the next time around. Royal Marriages, War, faith, and, of course, character a focused experience that lets you truly build out your ruler. The core of the game has all been translated expertly, so thankfully, all the bonkers ideas the Crusader Kings III game allows are still present here. ![]()
