The Knights of the Cross - Medieval Deckbuilding RPG Olive Panda Studio previously earned respect for their creative approach to tactical combat. Now, they are teaming up with Neverland Entertainment to bring a literary masterpiece to the world of PC gaming. The Knights of the Cross takes the gritty historical world of Nobel Prize winner Henryk Sienkiewicz — and turns it into a high-stakes deckbuilding RPG. This project captures the 15th-century rivalry between the Polish-Lithuanian Alliance and the Teutonic Knights. It is a fresh take on a classic saga that prioritizes strategy and narrative weight.The core of the experience lies in your squad. You are not just tossing random cards into a pile. You need to recruit over 30 unique companions, ranging from alchemists hunting the philosopher’s stone to pirate captains seeking glory on dry land. Each teammate comes with a personal story arc that fleshes out their past. Completing these missions earns you exclusive relics and cards that shift the meta of your deck. These allies actually react to your actions. They track the skill points you spend and trigger ultra skills that turn the tide of a losing fight. The synergy between your hand and your companions makes every encounter a tactical puzzle.Visually, the game hits that sweet spot for fans of high-quality pixel art. Every hero features detailed 2D live animations that bring the medieval setting to life. If you want a specific vibe, the Western Style Character Pack is available to customize the art. As you play through the seven massive chapters, you will navigate over 200 side events and requests. These are not filler content — your decisions impact the world. You must decide the fate of characters like Danusia, the lord’s daughter, while managing the pressure of the upcoming Battle of Grunwald. Random plots also feature authentic medieval festivals and folk lifestyles.Key FeaturesEpic companions: Recruit more than 30 teammates with personal story arcs. Tactical deckbuilding: Create builds using various skills and relics. Stunning pixel art: Enjoy beautiful 2D live animations and portraits. Choice-driven narrative: Shape history through 200+ side events. Huge campaign: Explore 15th-century Europe across 7 massive chapters. Strategic boss fights: Outsmart enemies to win the historical war. Authentic Lore: Based on the world-famous novel by Henryk Sienkiewicz.The Knights of the Cross is a banger for anyone who loves strategy and a plot that actually matters.
