Crusader Kings III
Crusader Kings III is Paradox Interactive’s latest entry in the popular medieval strategy saga. You’ll step into the shoes of a medieval ruler of your choice and run your domains as you see fit. Spanning across three continents and two eras, you’ll have a massive roster of historical rulers to choose from, including William of Normandy, Bjorn Ironside, Basil I, and Almos Arpad.As a count, duke, king, or emperor, you’ll try to navigate around the intrigue on your court, placating or subduing unruly vassals and external enemies jeopardizing your authority. Your realm needs attention, which is why it’s a must to secure funds to strengthen your holdings’ walls, build farms, and construct wonders. Plus, you can cement alliances with your neighbors by organizing political marriages while engineering your dynasty’s traits. After all, you’d want your descendants to be superhuman geniuses. If diplomacy fails, you can always wage wars, but first, you need to raise levies and men-at-arms that can change the tide of battle in your favor.
Crusader Kings III is a deep medieval dynasty simulator. It’s an open-ended strategy game where you can decide the fate of your dynasty. Will you bring your family prestige and lead it to the thrones of Europe and the entire world, or to its downfall? Your actions will decide your fate, but remember, real strategy requires cunning.
Pillars of Eternity
Pillars of Eternity is a fun adventure/dungeon crawler-like game that sets you on a journey across a rich fantasy realm with your group of companions as you search for monster-filled dungeons to raid and get treasures from. Experience a gameplay that's similar to many of the classic RPGs you've known and loved. You'll even get to play as one of eleven classes ranging from the Cipher to the Rogue; and as one of six races including unique ones like Aumaua, Godlike and Orlan.The best part in this game is definitely the part where every action you make will have consequences and every faction you ally yourself to will affect the path of your overall narrative. This offers up plenty of possibilities for players to enjoy the game again and again.
Despite being an indie game, Pillars of Eternity has enjoyed success after success since its successful funding at Kickstarter and honestly, we think it deserves all the good things that are going its way. The game is simply a brilliant masterpiece that pays homage to classic RPGs and well, the dev team is amazing as well.
