Plebby Quest: The Crusades review
A medieval strategy game that tries to make the genre accessible. If you’ve fancied painting a map in all one colour but were intimidated by grand strategy before, there are worse places to start.

Plebby Quest: The Crusades
and I did not get off to the best start. This is partly because it’s called “Plebby Quest”, a dreadful title that has little to do with the game itself. Neither “plebs” nor questing featuring prominently. Instead, Plebby Quest is more like a diet Crusader Kings, offering a similarly grand medieval strategy in a package less likely to pack on the pounds by rooting you into a chair for several hundred hours.
