Reader, I must apologise for the intolerably wholesome nature of RPS of late. My last couple of reviews were of a laidback farming sim and a showcase of nostalgic hardware. Glancing down the news feed, I note with outrage that Oisin has recently been writing about Very Good Doggos (being thrown into pits), while Mark has been spilling ink over that least offensive of politicians, Keir Starmer. Time to consign Starmer, the doggos, and those fetching Macintosh-me-dos to the waste bin along with my lingering fondness for Dreamcast-era platformers. Let's cleanse our palates of sugar with a post about stinking murderous zealots. For you see, there is now a demo available for Band Of Crusaders, the new tactics RPG from Polish developers Virtual Alchemy and publishers NCSoft.
