Oct. 2025

Crush Your Enemies, developed by Vile Monarch and published by Good Shepherd Entertainment, is a real-time strategy game that deliberately strips the genre down to its most essential elements. Instead of sprawling maps, endless unit types, and complex tech trees, it focuses on fast, bite-sized battles where the goal is simple: take territory, build a horde, and crush anyone who stands in your way. This design makes it approachable for newcomers to strategy games while still offering enough tactical decisions to keep each skirmish engaging. What sets it apart is not only its minimalist approach but also its irreverent tone, full of crude humor and tongue-in-cheek writing that leans into barbarian stereotypes and over-the-top antics. The core gameplay revolves around capturing tiles on a grid-like map. Every match begins with a small group of barbarians, and success depends on how you spread them across neutral and enemy territory. Villages can be taken over to generate beer or troops, huts allow you to recruit different unit types, and specific structures provide upgrades or specialized functions. While the mechanics are simple, matches require constant micromanagement: deciding when to expand, when to hold ground, and when to commit troops to a fight. The pace is quick, and most battles end in minutes rather than hours, emphasizing speed and decisiveness over drawn-out planning. This design philosophy makes the game easy to pick up and play in short sessions while still delivering the feeling of commanding an army. The single-player campaign spans around 40 levels and gradually introduces new mechanics, unit types, and scenarios. Bonus objectives in each mission encourage experimentation and replayability, though the campaign itself can be completed in just a handful of hours. While it doesn’t have the depth of a grand strategy title, the short runtime works in its favor, aligning with the game’s goal of being a quick, accessible strategy experience. Multiplayer is also included, offering the chance to test your skills against human opponents, but the online community has never been particularly large, meaning much of the long-term play will come from replaying the campaign or local skirmishes. Where Crush Your Enemies distinguishes itself tonally is in its humor and presentation. The writing is crude, self-aware, and intentionally ridiculous, filled with jokes about beer, pillaging, and barbarian culture. The pixel art aesthetic is colorful and functional, ensuring that units and tiles are always easy to read during fast-paced play, even if the visuals are not especially detailed. The soundtrack and sound effects lean into the exaggerated style, with pounding drums and boisterous voice lines that match the game’s comedic barbarian theme. It is clear that the developers wanted the tone to be as lighthearted as the gameplay, making it hard to take anything too seriously. That said, the simplicity of the design is also its biggest limitation. While the streamlined mechanics make it accessible, they also mean that after a few hours, strategies can start to feel repetitive. With only a handful of unit types and limited variations in maps, battles often play out in similar ways once you understand the optimal patterns of expansion and recruitment. The humor, while fun at first, can also wear thin over extended play sessions. Control responsiveness is another sticking point, especially when playing with a controller rather than a mouse, as the fast pace demands precise commands that can sometimes be difficult to execute smoothly. Overall, Crush Your Enemies succeeds at what it sets out to do: deliver a condensed, chaotic, and funny version of real-time strategy. It is best enjoyed in short bursts, where its quick battles and crude humor shine brightest. For players looking for deep strategy systems or long campaigns, it may feel too shallow, but for those who want a casual RTS that can be played in minutes rather than hours, it offers a refreshing alternative. Its humor, fast pace, and accessible design make it an enjoyable experience, even if it is ultimately more of a light diversion than a lasting obsession. Rating: 8/10

Definitely recommend as Single Player was pretty darn fun. However, we tried playing multiplayer recently but was having issues in getting two controllers working. Not sure what's up with that.

March 2025

A fun little RTS game that's enjoyable for a few hours. Good music, humourous dialogue/story and it never takes itself too serious. Unfortunately I don't like that there are MP achievements, since the game is quite dead. The AI does the same mistake and movements all the time so after a while you can predict and counter it. 7.5/10 - Solid little RTS game, with a lot of content if you want to master every level. Can get repetitive, but their free DLCs add more to the mix for each campaign.
