Where it came from
Trench Crusade is a tabletop wargame established in 2023, emerging from an online community centered around the grimdark illustrative work of Mike Franchina. The game presents an alternate history setting where the Crusades never truly ended, instead evolving into a perpetual, supernatural conflict after demonic forces were unleashed in 1099. This rich, apocalyptic world-building serves as the foundation for a skirmish-scale tactical game that blends historical aesthetics with grotesque, high-fantasy horror.
The game's visual identity is heavily defined by Franchina’s background in concept art for the video game industry, characterized by ink-heavy, visceral, and highly detailed illustrations that evoke a sense of decay and fanaticism. Developed alongside Tuomas Pirinen and James Hewitt, the design philosophy emphasizes thematic immersion and modular gameplay. It has been received as a notable entry in the independent wargaming scene, gaining significant traction for its dark, evocative narrative world rather than traditional commercial distribution channels.
