Don’t fear the reaper, just shut the gates. Death by disease, cancer, and many other woes await you in Crusader Kings II: The Reaper’s Due, the latest expansion for the medieval life simulator of 2012.
CKII: The Reaper’s Due is packed to the brim with the macabre and depressing details of medieval life.

All of this plus hospitals, new pets, social interactions, and glorious death sounds await you in the latest expansion.
