Press Reviews

“If you can survive an awkward introduction and free your imagination, Crusader Kings II will make you part of the family.”

“...Crusader Kings II is another excellent entry in Paradox’s repertoire. If you loved Europa Universalis or Victoria, then chances are you’ll fall in love with this game as well. 

“Crusader Kings II is a fun game to play. Unlike most strategy games the A.I. here is intense and brutal.”

“I have easily sunk 30 hours into this game within the last week and I still feel that I have only scratched the surface of Crusader Kings II — luckily, I am completely fine with the notion of dedicating more time to try and defame all those who stand in the way of my glorious genes.”

"It’s one of those rare games that can show even the uninitiated what a traditionally complex genre is all about and for that Paradox should be wholeheartedly congratulated. Be brave and give it a try.”

“This is truly one of the better games to come out from Paradox Development Studio...”

“...this game intrigues me enough to want to keep playing, and that is something indeed.”

“ If what you're seeking is a relatively clean grand strategy game that focuses on intrigue and diplomacy, this is your game.”

“It’s one of those rare games that can show even the uninitiated what a traditionally complex genre is all about and for that Paradox should be wholeheartedly congratulated.”

“This is a brilliant game, a masterful work by the people at Paradox. Perhaps the biggest praise I can give it is that I plan on playing it on a regular basis far beyond the time it takes to review it. It's rare when a game captures my imagination to this degree, but Crusader Kings II still has its hooks in me.”

“If you have nothing against a little sibling rivalry, love to indulge yourself in murderous plots and dream of grand conquests, then this is the best way to experience all that in the safety of your home.”
