Rise of Kingdoms: Lost Crusade

Build a city, then take the field

Rise of Kingdoms: Lost Crusade is a strategy game about developing a settlement and directing armies across a shared world map. It suits players who enjoy long-term planning as well as battles that unfold in real time. You can move between managing your city and viewing the wider map, where troop movements and conflicts shape your next decisions.

Choose a civilization and commanders

Your civilization gives your city a distinct identity and affects your approach to building an empire. The game also features commanders drawn from history, including figures such as Sun Tzu and Julius Caesar. Developing their abilities adds another layer of choices alongside gathering resources, training troops and deciding where to expand.

Strategy beyond solo play

Armies can move around the map, so positioning matters when joining a fight or responding to an opponent. Alliances add a social and strategic dimension: players can coordinate with others, work to expand territory and take part in larger conflicts. That makes the game a better fit for people willing to engage with its multiplayer side than for those looking only for a brief, self-contained strategy challenge.

The listing at a glance

The world map and city-management systems put several kinds of decisions on screen at once, from troop movements to resource planning. Players looking for a strategy game with ongoing development, historical commanders and alliance-based play will find those elements at its core.
