This slasher is not about Dante, who flaunts in Devil May Cry, but he is in to a greater extent has the right to this name, because in the game in places there are phrases one to one from Aguileri's Divine Comedy.

Age of Empires 3 (2005)
The game is a real-time strategy game. At the time of its release back in 2005, it made a splash, both in terms of graphics and in terms of gameplay. Graphics, of course, at the moment are unlikely to surprise, and thanks to a well-developed and balanced gameplay, it will not soon be forgotten.
There are only three resources in the game, so the economic system is pretty simple. There is no emphasis on it here. It is just a means to fortify the base and recruit new soldiers.
Both a single player campaign and multiplayer are available for the player, which supports up to 8 people on one map.
Strategies have always been popular. This genre does not require the same reaction speed as simulators or action games - but that doesn't mean it's simpler. After all, only quests can argue with strategies in how they can challenge the ingenuity and intellect of the player.
Well, strategies about the Middle Ages have always been popular all the more. Don't believe me? Well, think about games like Stronghold and Medieval: Total War. There is no need to look for the reason for the players' favor for a long time - after all, the Middle Ages is almost the same as fantasy, but without magic and excess gloss, more ... real, and therefore more attractive. And so that you don't have to choose the most Interesting games of this type, we have prepared for you TOP-10 strategies about the Middle Ages. So, let's begin.
10. Citadels
The tenth place is occupied by a good real-time strategy. The game lacks any special plot, and the graphics management is a little disappointing - but the game is quite capable of tightening. Made for fans of classic strategies like Starcraft 2, only in a medieval setting. The game is not bad, but it cannot be called something completely outstanding. Deserved tenth place.
9. The Settlers: Rise of an Empire
In ninth place we have the sixth game of the most famous series about settlers-settlers. As in all games of this cycle, in Settlers: Rise of an Empire (namely, under this name, the project came out with us) very important role the economy plays. If it comes to that, the development of the economy here is much more elaborate than military action. The only drawback of the game is that it is too easy in places, but that is why it should be recommended to beginners. In general, Settlers are interesting project with leisurely, thoughtful gameplay and nice graphics.
8. Golden Horde
The next game I would like to recommend is the Golden Horde. An original project from domestic developers. Interesting historical surroundings, good, although in some places slightly prolonged gameplay, three campaigns - for the Russians, Mongols and Teutons. Of course, you can still make some claims to the game in terms of historical accuracy, but, nevertheless, the project is recommended, at least for familiarization. And it is desirable - and for a complete passage.
7. Knights of Honor
It was impossible to ignore the Knights of Honor. This game has diplomacy, economics, and excellent combat in real time. Rule your state, spread your religion, and forge alliances and alliances with others ruling dynasties(and you are here - the head of such a dynasty), finally, fight. The game is very versatile and extremely interesting. Perhaps, the graphics engine slightly pumped up - but, in general, the project turned out to be quite worthy. Therefore, we strongly recommend it.
6. Anno 1404
Our next step is an economic strategy, in which the construction of cities and trade play a very important role. There is, however, and military action, but they still need to grow. In principle, the game can be compared to SimCity, only here everything is much more interesting. Because in addition to urban planning, there is also trade, and military action, and diplomacy. And the plot is pretty good. That is why this game is recommended to all fans of economic strategies.
5. Kingdom Come: Deliverance
In fifth place we have a game not so much about strategy as about tactics. Interesting campaign, a good combat system (although, of course, it can be better), the ability to develop troops and an excellent quest system. In addition, the fact that the game is about crusades is also a bonus. It seems to be a hackneyed topic, and everyone who is not lazy has trampled on it - but it is not becoming less popular. In general, lovers of tactics - this game is for you.
4. Grand Ages: Medieval
Building cities, concluding trade and diplomatic alliances, fighting - it's all about Grand Ages: Medieval. As soon as she came out (by the way, she came out just the other day), they began to scold her. Say, and long, and incomprehensible, and in general - phew, disgusting. Well, for fans of dynamic gameplay, nothing really shines here. But the one who likes to play slowly and thoughtfully, planning each of his actions as a move in chess game- that will like the game. Fortunately, all the prerequisites for this are there, which means - play and enjoy.
3. Medieval: Total War
Well, here is our building leaders. It opens with Medieval: Total War - a wargame from the Total War series, to ignore which would be simply swinish. Lovers in this toy economic development remained overboard - however, as in all other games in the series. But what kind of battles are there ... Scale, historical realism. Sieges are something. This game, like its add-ons with sequels, is strongly recommended to all fans of large-scale battles. Although, what am I talking about - after all, they have long been familiar with this magnificent project.
2. Age of Empires 3
The second place is occupied by the classic real-time strategy about the Middle Ages. Nice picture on the screen, simple and intuitive controls, dynamic gameplay. True, we have here not only the Middle Ages, but also the beginning of modern times - but this, I suppose, will not confuse anyone. a brief description of Age of Empires 3 is convenient, familiar and very interesting. In general, there is nothing too original in the game, but everything classic elements used so to the point that it is extremely difficult to break away from the Age of Empires. If you have not seen this game yet, be sure to play it. You will not regret!
1. Stronghold
Well, in the first place we have the classics. The First Citadel is one of the strategies that is very, very ... well, in almost everything. Well-developed military and economic campaign- and in the military one should not forget about the economy, and in the economic one will sometimes have to deal with defense. Nice graphics, despite the fact that the game is already very many years old. Interesting gameplay - with all the delights of the Middle Ages such as building a fortress, large-scale sieges and more. A bonus in the form of a plot - the military campaign - is a retelling of the story of King Richard the Lionheart. Try it and I promise you - this game will drag you in for a long time.
Hello friends! There are many strategies in the gaming industry with different modes, genres, stories and historical periods.

We will talk directly about the strategies about the Middle Ages and those taking place in this historical era, which began after the fall of the great Roman Empire in the 6th century and ended before the beginning of the New Age.
Throughout all the campaigns, it will be possible to meet various historical and legendary personalities, such as Khan Batu and Prince Alexander Nevsky. The battles take place in a tactical manner - you have to fight for the life of each individual warrior, because the loss of several soldiers can lead to defeat. The number of strategic opportunities does not boggle the imagination, captivating attention to detail. Thus, the force of the wind has a direct effect on the speed of flight of arrows, the burning buildings are thrown by flames in accordance with the laws of physics, and the ice cover of the rivers tends to break through under the feet of heavily armed infantrymen.

10. Age of Chivalry
Age of Chivalry is a multiplayer modification for Half-Life 2, developed and released by the amateur studio Team Chivalry back in 2007, but has not lost its relevance in our time.
Even though Age of Chivalry is visually inferior modern games about the Middle Ages, this does not interfere with immersion in the local wonderful world medieval battles and castle sieges. Players expect a first-person view and three different warrior classes: knight, archer and scout, for each of which a wide selection of weapons is available. The combat system of Age of Chivalry stands out for its hardcore and realism, however, here it is worth considering the considerable age of the engine.

Finally, the undeniable advantage of Age of Chivalry over most medieval games is that it is completely free to download and play! True, for this, on your Steam account, you must have any game with the Source engine: Half-Life 2, Counter-Strike: Source, and so on.
9. Wars and Warriors: Joan of Arc
The next project on our list of the best Medieval games on PC is even more significant in age, as it was released on PC already in 2004. Despite this, lovers of realistic historical Wars games and Warriors: Joan of Arc will certainly like its elaborate and reliable setting, as well as the plot, which is based on the famous "Hundred Years War" that unfolded in the XIV-XV centuries between the French and the British.
In terms of gameplay, Wars and Warriors: Joan of Arc is a simple third-person action game dedicated to battles with swords and other types of cutting / thrusting weapons, the main character of which is the greatest warrior and national heroine of France, Jeanne D'Arc. All story missions (in Wars and Warriors only a single scenario is available) are as close as possible to the real events of the Hundred Years War, and in addition to Jeanne, players will be able to contemplate many other historical figures of that time. There was also a place in the game for typical RPG elements: the heroine gradually gains experience and grows in level, pumps parameters, can use inventory, change weapons and equipment.
Also in Wars and Warriors: Joan of Arc there is a very unusual element of real-time strategy, which sets a significant proportion of the game atmosphere: along with Jeanne, other commanders participate in battles along with their squads, and some of the commanders can be taken under your direct control. Together with epic battle music and typical medieval scenery, this massiveness greatly influences immersion in the gameplay and evokes a natural feeling of participation in one of the greatest wars Middle Ages.
8. The Black Death
The Black Death is a multiplayer survival game set in the medieval setting, which can hardly be called the best in the chosen category, but despite this, it definitely stands out for its originality of concept.
The fact is that The Black Death takes place during a plague epidemic that decimated almost half of the population. medieval Europe and nicknamed for this "Black Death". It is this dark feature, skillfully conveyed by the developers at Syrin Studios and Small Impact Games in the style and atmosphere of the game, that makes The Black Death so curious.
Otherwise, The Black Death is a completely standard multiplayer survival with an open world, the essence of the gameplay of which is the exploration of the environment, construction, mining and crafting, as well as battles (or other ways of interaction, for example, exchange or cooperation) with other unfortunate inhabitants of Europe in dark times. But since the game is in the early access stage, there is a clear flaw in many of the mechanics and ideas, which should certainly be taken into account by everyone who wants to plunge into the world of The Black Death.
7. The Cursed Crusade
6. For Honor
The well-known multiplayer game on PC, offering a kind of medieval crossover, allowing warriors of completely different civilizations and historical eras: Vikings, knights and samurai.
Moreover, each faction has its own story-based story (in addition to multiplayer modes, For Honor also has a pretty good training campaign with a scenario that reveals the features of all three sides) and unique classes. The hero of each class has a unique appearance and the tactics of the game, determined by the weapons and skills of the character.
The ART OF BATTLE combat system itself is also innovative in For Honor, at first it seems quite difficult to learn, for which many players actively scolded (and continue to scold) the game, preferring simpler and more understandable network action games on the theme of the Middle Ages to it. We admit that the threshold for joining For Honor is really high, and it will be very difficult for beginners in the early stages. But if you still endure and master all the wisdom of the combat system, in further game will be able to give a lot of vivid emotions and impressions of breathtaking battles in various modes.
5. Gloria Victis
4. Kingdom Come: Deliverance
The role-playing project of 2018, until the release is stubbornly positioned by its creators as “ Best game about the Middle Ages on the PC among RPGs ". However, after the release, it turned out to be more than controversial due to its dampness, numerous flaws and unfulfilled promises.
Fortunately, at the moment, after a significant time after the release, the developers have managed to bring Kingdom Come: Deliverance into a more or less playable form through numerous patches. Of the unambiguous advantages of this game, it is worth noting the very good graphics and design of the world, a solid non-linear storyline based on real events (albeit with some free interpretations on the part of the creators) and a classless character development system.
The combat system in Kingdom Come: Deliverance turned out to be hardcore, as promised, but there are strong doubts about its fascination and historical accuracy - it all looks too clumsy and ridiculous, and the behavior of opponents sometimes causes unpleasant amazement. In general, the AI of the inhabitants of Kingdom Come is lame in all limbs, plus the impression is exacerbated by the so far completely unresolved bugs.
Those who prefer robbery and battles to peaceful labor will be impressed by the local dynamic combat system based on non-target and the possibility of simultaneous participation in the battle of 64 people - this is exactly the number of players the servers in Life is Feudal: Your Own are designed for. And those who want even more epic battles can try their hand and their ability to survive in Life is Feudal: MMO - a more global variation of the game, arranged according to the principle of MMORPG.
2. Chivalry: Medieval Warfare
Brutal multiplayer first-person action game designed for team battles in various modes and in various arenas. A good selection of game classes and weapons, the ability to customize characters, a good level of graphics and arena design, and most importantly, a simple and at the same time fascinating combat system made Chivalry: Medieval Warfare, if not the most popular, then a highly demanded game among multiplayer medieval action games ...
1. Mount & Blade: Warband
A wonderful RPG with a realistic medieval setting, addicting versatile gameplay and a powerful atmosphere, which has not yet been surpassed by any other similar game... And this despite the fact that the release of Mount & Blade: Warband took place in 2010.
In addition to the single-player freeplay mode, Mount & Blade: Warband also has a multiplayer mode (or rather, several such modes), which allows dozens of players to converge on the battlefield.
In fact, Mount & Blade: Warband can be called the most ideal medieval simulator at the moment, every element gameplay in which it is thought out and perfected to the smallest detail. Moreover, other games in the Mount & Blade series also deserve attention, because in fact they are variations of one game with some differences in gameplay and setting caused by the fact that they are dedicated to different time periods of the Middle Ages. It is also known that Mount & Blade 2 is in development, but even its approximate release date remains unknown at the moment.
conclusion
After reading this collection, you probably noticed the lack of fantasy games dedicated to the Middle Ages. Yes, we deliberately bypassed fantasy games based on this very interesting, but at the same time gloomy historical period of human civilization - for example, the action RPG series The Witcher and Dragon Age, the slasher Castlevania: Lords of Shadow and others. Instead, we decided to focus on projects that illuminate the era as realistically as possible. Well, we will definitely reveal the topic of the fantasy Middle Ages in future articles.
