Critical Strike is basically a small chance to deal double damage with increased knockback.
You'll see the damage numbers are in larger orange when dealing a critical strike.

Do you know if it's calculated before or after armor?
Afterwards. The game first calculates how much damage a hit should do (based on defense), and then doubles it if the attack is a crit.
The same is true for knockback: first the knockback is calculated based on the strike and the NPC's knockback resistance, then it's run through some diminishing returns calculations, and then, if the atttack was a crit, increases the knockback by 40%.
