In this sort-of Crusader Kings 3 Review I use Crusader Kings 3 gameplay to answer questions like "What is Crusader Kings 3 2021", "wtf is Crusader Kings", "how to play Crusader Kings" etc. It's Crusader Kings explained with the occasional fun & memes to make it easier to digest. Crusader Kings 3 (CK3) suffers from the same problem as all Paradox Interactive games: they simply look like a big map with tons of text, and not much else. This video helps see why this is not the entire picture and shows what CK3 was to offer.

No Crusader kings 3 review would be complete without explaining Crusader Kings' core mechanics and explaining why CK3 is fun. It's also important to mention that Crusader Kings 3 gameplay comes with challenges - so I discuss the difficulty and learning curve as well. CK3 mods are mentioned as a great way to supplement CK3 gameplay. I also include some things that happened to me while I played CK3 to make things more tangible.

Crusader Kings 3 is a medieval simulator focusing primarily on the complex aspect of succession law and noble families, with rich & interconnected game mechanics. CK3 does this by simulating thousands of characters at the same time, including keeping track of their history and relations. The player chooses a character in Crusader Kings' 3 simulation and simply does their best to survive and achieve their goals. While Crusader Kings is explained in this video, it's not intended to be a proper tutorial. I simply want you to feel "I understand what Crusader Kings 3 is" after watching the video - whether you play CK3 afterwards is up to you!

To learn how to play CK3 check out the ingame tutorial. The CK3 subreddit and discord are also a good location to ask questions. Otherwise, there's many Crusader Kings 3 guide videos on YouTube!

If you feel like the video is a good answer to "wtf is crusader kings" and has left Crusader Kings 3 explained well, then it'd mean a lot to me if you could leave a like, comment and consider subscribing!
