From Press Release:
Warsaw, Poland. August 13, 2024– Virtual Alchemy, a newly minted indie studio based in Warsaw, just revealed their debut title: Band of Crusaders, a Witcher-esque strategy RPG with real-time combat set in a corrupted version of medieval Europe. The Continent has fallen! Rise as the Grandmaster of a knightly order—recruit your crusaders, develop your camp, engage in brutal battles, and manage your unit’s mental and material needs as they travel the countryside to repel the forces of pandemonium.
“Band of Crusaders is about a company of warriors you will raise from peasants to heroes against the forces of chaos. The Knights Templar are gone, and Archdemons are at the door, threatening the already fragile peace that European smallfolk have come to cherish,” says studio CEO Dominik Sypnicki.
“Our artistic approach to Band of Crusaders merges historically authentic representations of medieval tools, armor, and weaponry, with demonic creatures inspired by biblical descriptions and European folklore,” shares Art Director Kamil Mickiewicz. “We wanted to see what the world of The Witcher would look like if you removed all the Witchers.
