Game Boy - Kingdom Crusade Box Art FrontGame Boy - Kingdom Crusade Box Art Back

This video game takes places during a hypothetical apocalyptic battle between a dark, evil army and a light, good army. Even the king and queen of each respective kingdom is expected to contribute to combat duty; which was expected of kings in the Middle Ages but not of most queens. Even though this game is medieval in nature, it does not depict any culture of Medieval Europe against each other. Players can take either side and both kingdom's units are of equal strength to each other. The units in the game correspond to Western high fantasy (i.e., paladins instead of samurai). All fighting is done in an arcade manner (real-time with button mashing) rather than a typical manner of a strategy or role-playing game (either turn-based or real-time without button mashing). Each player must either destroy all of the opponent's units or capture all the castles in order to win the game and to defeat his or her opponent. Winning results in a celebration screen while losing is the equivalent to a game over.

Additional Information

Part strategy, part action, Kingdom Crusade is an Archon-like fantasy game that involves two factions battling to control territory on an overhead map. The map is a customizable grid, with individual squares indicating one of four possible terrain types: plains, mountains, forest, and castle courtyards. Selecting a square to conquer automatically shifts the perspective to a close-up view for a real-time, one-on-one fight. Units under your control include a king, queen, wizard, knight, paladin, bowman, and giant. Each crusader has certain strengths and weaknesses to exploit, and the terrain can influence fighting tactics as well. There are two paths to victory in the game: capture all of your rival's castles or eliminate its entire army. Select from three different map sizes before beginning a game, each of which is randomly generated. You can also play against two computer AI settings, or challenge a friend via Game Link Cable.

  • Features three world sizes: 10x10, 12x12, and 16x16

  • Discover seven powerful artifacts to assist you in battle

  • Cast spells, swing swords, shoot projectiles, and jump while in combat

    Controls: Gamepad/Joystick
