    Would have had everything necessary to become a great game, but it seems there was to little time for production. The game got some serious graphical and synchronization issues and lacks any passion in storytelling. It is just boring. There are only two good things about his game: the fighting system is really great with a lot of weapons and combos and the coop-mode is really fun to play. But that's it. Really poor what the studio has made out of so much potential.

    A boring and repetitive combat system and and a subpar technical production make The Cursed Crusade an avoidable game; a wasted opportunity to represent a great and charismatic historical period.

    A real failure on every front. It should be avoided as you would prevent participation in a cursed crusade.

    The sluggish fighting feels surprisingly weighty. [Issue#115, p.102]

  1. Great game this.Very underrated too.It may be made by a small developer,& released in the maddest release schedule in..well,probably ever & theres a couple of bugs to be fixed,but if you like a story based sword fighting game with a well paced & deep fighting mechanic,then this game is for you.Co-Op in this game is very cool to play also.The great fighting engine,combined with Co-Op probably make this my favourate story based fighter ever.If you dont like this kind of game,then it isnt for you.Simples.

    Aside from some interesting concepts and interesting character progression, this game is a mess. Laughable dialogue, absolutely ridiculous and incoherent story, stupid characters, totally broken combat, abominable effects...This game is just in shambles. It has some interesting ideas, but the execution is just...oh man...terrible. Collapse
  3. This game is unplayable!!! Is the same as you throw your money in the garbage... LOL... The idea behind it is ok, but the gameplay and the rest is like a hell in earth. Expand
