Where to start with Crusader Kings II? Well, it’s an epic sandbox of a game that spans nigh-on 600 years of European medieval history and looks, on the outside, to be the very pinnacle of the “grand strategy” genre – but really it’s all about family.
Or rather, dynasty. See, rather than take control of a nation, in Crusader Kings II you’re steering the fortunes of a dynasty. Pick a ruler, from a lowly count to an emperor, and you play as that person until they die, at which point you switch to their dynastic successor. That person, let’s say your first-born son, might be a brave, inspiring paragon of virtue. But then he dies whilst on crusade to the Holy Land, leaving his moronic, venereal diseased, scheming and hunchbacked younger brother to inherit your lands and titles. Oh, joy.
Crusader Kings II is more than just a strategy game; it’s a full-blown realpolitik simulator. No other game in existence lets you go into this much detail in what it means to be a king. There may be glory to be found, but there are also many dirty deeds to be executed. It’s your call what kind of ruler you want to be. Crusader Kings II v3.2.1 MacOSX Free Download.

The aim of the game? It’s really up to you to set your own goals. From the moment each game begins, it’s procedurally generating a million different stories all over its map, which reaches from Iceland in the west to (with the new DLC) India in the east. Your own tale is just one. Cultures and religions clash, family disputes erupt into murderous feuds, empires and won and lost. It’s truly, truly amazing stuff – once you get the hang of the rather complex mechanics that is.
