Well, that was unexpected

Crusader Kings comes to mobile in the form of a gamebook

With Thursday being the busiest day of the week in mobile gaming, Crusader Kings: Chronicles has just launched on the App Store and Google Play for £3.99/$4.99.

The game is misleading from its initial look. Generally you see a man in a helmet and chainmail and instantly you think 'ah, another real-time battler/RPG'. Pleasantly it's not the case this time.

Crusader Kings: Chronicles is an interactive text-based game that lets you take on the role of Guy de Rose as you make a series of decisions to help your empire survive. Set in the war-torn countryside, the Scots and Brits are battling for power and it's up to you to decide what kind of person you’re going to be.

Regardless of the genre, text-based adventures and gamebooks are always tremendous fun and at £3.99/$4.99 that's not a bad price for some carefully crafted storytelling.

Pick Crusader Kings: Chronicles now on iTunes and Google Play.
