Lionheart: Kings' Crusade Critic Reviews

The lustre of this combination has dulled a little with familiarity, but it still provides a gaming experience that few other titles offer.

But what could easily become an overburdening mess of a structure is cleverly handled by the developer, and Lionheart is engaging as a result.

Highly addictive historical strategy game offers hours and hours of fun thanks to its polished combat system, PRG elements and uncommon concept.

We still have a decent title on our hands, with two sides different enough to warrant a replay of the single-player campaign, a well-designed economic system and a factions / research tree which can seal the deal.

Lionheart: King's Crusade is all the fun of battling heathens and crushing homelands, but without those pesky plagues.

Combining a serious focus on battlefield tactics with some enjoyable role playing makes Lionheart: Kings' Crusade a winner.

Lionheart remains appealing throughout because of how well it captures the period. It's not a perfect historical representation, of course, but it puts you in the seat of two all-conquering medieval heroes.

Generally, Lionheart Kings' Crusade is a nice game; however, it lacks strategy and action in the battles.

A good strategy game which suffers the presence of other great alternatives that came out during this year, and It's not able to stand out on any aspect.

Standard game mechanics are well-integrated to produce a solid game. RPG and RTS elements are combined into an enjoyable experience. Not great, but not bad, either. Competent.

Mildly realistic combat and addictive RPG elements put Lionheart above Crusaders and XIII Century. Unfortunately, the lack of a strategic mode and technical glitches are serious turn-offs that won't stop only the hardened fans of the Crusades epoch.

But there's one problem, and it's a big one: the game has been out for roughly one month at this point and Neocore still hasn't addressed critical crash errors that severely impact the experience.
