Virtual Alchemy has announced Band of Crusaders, a strategy RPG set in a medieval Europe plagued by devils and twisted cults. It will be available for PC via Steam. A release date was not announced.
“Band of Crusaders is about a company of warriors you will raise from peasants to heroes against the forces of chaos,” said Virtual Alchemy CEO Dominik Sypnicki in a press release. “The Knights Templar are gone, and Archdemons are at the door, threatening the already fragile peace that European smallfolk have come to cherish.”
Art director Kamil Mickiewicz added, “Our artistic approach to Band of Crusaders merges historically authentic representations of medieval tools, armor, and weaponry, with demonic creatures inspired by biblical descriptions and European folklore. We wanted to see what the world of The Witcher would look like if you removed all the Witchers.”
Here is an overview of the game, via Virtual Alchemy:
