Description

Your legacy awaits. Choose your noble house and lead your dynasty to greatness in a Middle Ages epic that spans generations. War is but one of many tools to establish your reign, as real strategy requires expert diplomatic skill, mastery of your realm, and true cunning. Crusader Kings III continues the popular series made by Paradox Development Studio, featuring the widely acclaimed marriage of immersive grand strategy and deep, dramatic medieval roleplaying.
![]()
Take command of your house and expand your dynasty through a meticulously researched Middle Ages. Begin in 867, 1066 or 1178 and claim lands, titles, and vassals to secure a realm worthy of your royal blood. Your death is only a footnote as your lineage continues with new playable heirs, either planned… or not.
Discover a sprawling simulated world teeming with peasants and knights, courtiers, spies, knaves and jesters, and secret love affairs. An extensive cast of historical characters can be romanced, betrayed, executed, or subtly influenced.
Explore a vast medieval map stretching from the snowswept Nordic lands to the Horn of Africa, and the British Isles in the west to the exotic riches of Burma in the east. Claim, conquer, and rule thousands of unique counties, duchies, kingdoms, and empires.
![]()
Each character is larger than life, with traits and lifestyle choices determining their actions and schemes. Prompt fear and dread as you rule with an iron fist, or inspire your subjects with magnanimous deeds. Genetics can be passed along to your children, be it the gift of genius or crippling stupidity.
Groom your heir with the appropriate guardians or educate them yourself. If found wanting, marry them off or despatch them through other means.
Customize your ruler and noble house, from appearance to attributes, and create a monarch worthy of all their inherited virtues and vices.
![]()
Govern an ever-evolving realm and grant titles to whom you see fit - or usurp your liege to claim their crown as your own. Be wary of rivals, from restless serfs to revengeful concubines.
The shadows stir frequently, and danger lurks around every darkened corner. Recruit agents and other unsavory elements to undermine, blackmail, or murder those who stand in your path. Or be inspired by the bard and ballad, and seduce your way to power and influence.
Blood will flow. Assemble men-at-arms units and powerful knights. Manage your battlefield tactics and armies. Raid and plunder nearby lands or hire mercenaries and Holy Orders for your major conflicts.
![]()
Be a pious king to invite the religious powers to your side, or design your own faith as you battle between everlasting fame or eternal damnation.
Bring novel innovations to your culture and construct mighty castles and bastions to increase the wealth, prestige, and security of your realm.
The paths to follow are limitless: experience thousands of dynamic events and life-altering decisions tailored to each and every conceivable situation and character. There are countless ways of securing and keeping your place in the history books.

Anyways, Great game, buy with discounts, if possible buy from instant gaming, I haven't had a single issue buying any of their games, and you'll probably save a lot more time and money than waiting for steam sales.

- Conquer The World (your neighbor's lawn)
- have fun with friends conquering (them) the world!
- Not the best optimization, seen better
- Multiplayer system can use a rework

Been so far hybridizing the Viking culture with france and italy, creating an empire in central europe while making the old Asatru faith which still are in mostly Scandinavia and todays Scotland my allies. Now the eastern roman empire and the weak catholic countries left trembles.
In my other campaign i now have a Kingdom in India. Trying to breed my family into dwarfs being geniuses while really messing around with a lot of options of getting more influence and land.
92/100 GREAT GAME!
Well made game and a decent upgrade from Crusader Kings 2 but in my opinion they could include in the base game more content that they plan to add with future DLCs!
I did not know that it feels so good and it is so hard to be a king at the same time. This game helped me to thing outside the box. I mean I always thought that to be a king is just saying things and everything will be okay, but now I know it is a really hard logical thinking game. You have to plan and thing before making a move (a bit like in chess).
If you like harder, logic, simulation games try this (it is better with DLCs, but I will not think with your wallet).
- Good graphics
- Expensive DLCs
- In depth
- Customizable
- Hours of fun
- Hard to learn
- Very unforgiving game-play
- Paradox loves DLC
Better yet, all Russian rulers were removed from power, their peoples relegated to the Siberian frontiers of our empire to serve as a cushion for our core territories against raiders from the steppes. It's a nice catharsis for us, as people who had to leave our home in Ukraine to seek shelter and safety this year.
Exactly as a strategy title should be, these accomplishments were the result of us learning the game's many systems and playing our best game, planning and investing in our lands and our people so we could best weather the bad rolls of the dice along the way. "Blessed is he who plants trees under whose shade he will never sit." This was the mantra of our rulers. As a result, each succession grew easier; civil wars became stories for the history books. Things that would once be a crisis became merely bothersome, such as viking adventurers or even crusades. Powerful vassal kingdoms and rival empires went from being existential threats to merely places on the map.
Eventually, our power became unchecked. There were essentially no threats to our empire, and no pressing matters to attend to. While others might see this as an excuse for conquest, our religion was one of peace. We invested even more into our lands, intent on creating a golden age of peace and prosperity for all our people. Our Ruthenia became a land of vast cities, high castles, and rolling wheat fields as far as the eye could see beneath the bright, blue open sky, as perfect a place to live as one could find in the middle ages. It was a joy to create.
There's no other game like Crusader Kings, and CK3 is the best version of it yet. I say this as an old-school player with nearly 500 hours in CK2, and hundreds more hours in other Paradox strategy titles across Steam and other distribution platforms. They somehow nailed making the game more accessible and attractive to new players while still having plenty of stuff to master over time. My wife always liked watching me play CK2, but the better graphics, character customization, and the lower skill floor in CK3 finally converted her into a player. Playing this game cooperatively with her is some of the most fun I've ever had playing games.
CK2 is a game from 2012 and has around 30+ expansions, so of course it would have more content than CK3
The game is great and I enjoyed every single one of my playthroughs, I have played from the base game all the way to the Fate of Iberia and it's been really fun.
