Strategies have always been popular. This genre doesn't require the same reaction speed as simulation or action games, but that doesn't mean it's easier. After all, only quests can compete with strategies in the challenge they can pose to the player’s ingenuity and intelligence. Well, strategies about the Middle Ages have always been popular. Don't believe me? Well, think about games like Stronghold and Medieval: Total War. You don’t have to look for the reason for the players’ favor for a long time - after all, the Middle Ages are almost the same as fantasy, but without magic and unnecessary gloss, it’s more... real, and therefore more attractive. And so that you don't have to choose the most Interesting games of this type, we have prepared for you the TOP 10 strategies about the Middle Ages. So, let's begin. 10. Citadels
Our tenth place is taken by a good real-time strategy. The game does not have any special plot, and the controls and graphics are a little let down - but the game is quite capable of dragging on. Made for fans of classic strategies like Starcraft 2, only in a medieval setting. The game is not bad, but it cannot be called something completely outstanding. Well-deserved tenth place. 9. The Settlers: Rise of an Empire
In ninth place we have the sixth game in the famous series about settlers. As in all games in this series, in Settlers: Rise of an Empire (that is the name under which the project was released), the economy plays a very important role. For that matter, the economic development here is much more elaborate than military operations. The only drawback of the game is that it is too easy in places, but that is why it should be recommended to beginners. Overall, Settlers is an interesting project with leisurely, thoughtful gameplay and nice graphics. 8. Golden Horde
The next game that I would like to recommend to you is the Golden Horde. An original project from domestic developers. Interesting historical setting, good, although sometimes slightly drawn-out gameplay, three campaigns - for the Russians, Mongols and Teutons. Of course, you can still make some claims to the game in terms of historical accuracy, but, nevertheless, the project is recommended, at a minimum, for familiarization. And preferably - for a complete passage. 7. Knights of Honor
It was impossible to ignore the Knights of Honor. This game has diplomacy, economics, and excellent real-time combat. Manage your state, spread your religion, enter into alliances and alliances with other ruling dynasties (and you are the head of such a dynasty), and finally, fight. The game is very multifaceted and extremely interesting. Perhaps the graphics engine let us down a little - but, overall, the project turned out to be very worthy. Therefore, we strictly recommend it. 6. Anno 1404
Next up is an economic strategy, in which the construction of cities and trade play a very important role. True, there are military actions here, but we still need to grow into them. In principle, the game can be compared to SimCity, only here everything is much more interesting. Because in addition to urban planning, there is also trade, military action, and diplomacy. And the plot is quite good. Therefore, this game is recommended to all fans of economic strategies. 5. Kingdom Come: Deliverance
In fifth place, our game is not so much about strategy as it is about tactics. An interesting campaign, a good combat system (although, of course, there are better ones), the ability to develop troops and an excellent quest system. In addition, the fact that the game is about the Crusades is a bonus. It seems that the topic is a hackneyed one, and everyone who is not too lazy has trampled on it - but it is not becoming less in demand. In general, tactics lovers - this game is for you. 4. Grand Ages: Medieval
We build cities, conclude trade and diplomatic alliances, go to war - this is all about Grand Ages: Medieval. As soon as she came out (by the way, she came out just the other day), they began to scold her. They say it’s long, and incomprehensible, and in general – ugh, disgusting. Well, fans of dynamic gameplay really have nothing to gain here. But those who like to play slowly and thoughtfully, planning each of their actions like a move in a chess game, will like the game. Fortunately, all the prerequisites for this are there, which means play and enjoy. 3. Medieval: Total War
Well, here's our lineup of leaders. It opens with Medieval: Total War - a wargame from the Total War series, which would be simply disgusting to ignore. There are amateurs in this toy economic development were left behind - however, as in all other games in the series. But what kind of battles are there... Scale, historical realism. Sieges are something special. This game, like its expansions and sequels, is strictly recommended for all fans of large-scale battles. Although, what am I talking about - after all, they have been familiar with this magnificent project for a long time. 2.Age of Empires 3
Our second place goes to the classic real-time strategy about the Middle Ages. Nice picture on the screen, simple and intuitive controls, dynamic gameplay. True, we have here not only the Middle Ages, but also the beginning of modern times - but this, I believe, will not confuse anyone. a brief description of Age of Empires 3 is convenient, familiar and very interesting. In general, there is nothing too original in the game, but all the classic elements are used so appropriately that it is extremely difficult to tear yourself away from the Age of Empires. If you haven't seen this game yet, be sure to play it. You will not regret! 1.Stronghold
Well, in first place we have the classics. The First Citadel is one of the strategies that is the best... well, in almost everything. Well-developed military and economic campaigns - and in the military one we must not forget about the economy, and in the economic one we will sometimes have to deal with defense. Good graphics, despite the fact that the game is already many years old. Interesting gameplay - with all the delights of the Middle Ages such as building a fortress, large-scale sieges and so on. Bonus in the form of a plot - the military campaign is a retelling of the story about King Richard the Lionheart. Try it, and I promise you, this game will keep you hooked for a long time. The romance of the Middle Ages leaves few people indifferent. The world is still young, the lands are eager to find a feudal owner, powerful military technologies have yet to be invented... He who has a sword in his hands, and a detachment of loyal knights behind his back, can conquer the whole world!

Your medieval knights are eager to fight! Just don’t forget to provide them with supplies and weapons, because the enemy is cunning and strong.

A game in the heat of adventure and action, which is a continuation of the game of the same name and tells us about the adventures of the main character Ezio Auditore.

We again have to watch the ancient confrontation between the Assassins and the Knights Templar, who are determined to enslave all people on the planet. The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim (2011)

Dante's Inferno (2010)
In this slasher, we will not be talking about the Dante that flaunts in Devil May Cry, but he has a greater right to this name, because in the game in places there are phrases one after another from Aguilleri’s Divine Comedy. The gameplay is quite rich. The player will find both medieval parkour and puzzles. To destroy enemies, Dante uses a small arsenal, including a devil's scythe and a crucifix, which here serves as a ranged weapon. A rich set of combos will not let you get bored even with such a meager choice of weapons. There are plenty of options for getting rid of the enemy, but, unfortunately, in battle it will still be more effective to use a couple of proven techniques. For Honor (2017)
