The briefing

About this game

Kingdom Crusade is a medieval-themed strategy game set during a hypothetical apocalyptic conflict between a good army and an evil army. Players can choose either side, with both kingdoms featuring equally strong units drawn from Western high fantasy, including paladins.

Combat is presented in an arcade-style format, using real-time button-mashing rather than conventional turn-based or non-button-mashing strategy or role-playing mechanics. The king and queen of each kingdom are also expected to take part in combat.

Victory is achieved by destroying all opposing units or capturing every castle. A win leads to a celebration screen, while a loss results in game over.
