Duck over to Frictionless Insight for a review of Trevor Chan's Joan of Arc. The score is 3/5 and here's a snippet:
War & Warriors: Joan of Arc is a third person hack and slash game set during the Hundred Years War (1337 – 1453). You control Joan of Arc (from the latter years of the war) and a few other commanders, including her real life companion Jean de Metz, leading troops into battle against the “dirty English dogs.” If you learn anything from Joan of Arc it is more likely to be choice name-calling than history, so keep a pen and paper handy and prepare to be the master of the schoolyard insult. There are other elements of gameplay, but the majority of Joan of Arc consists of battling waves of enemies. Combat is broken down to two essential buttons, a light and a heavy attack that correspond to the left and right mouse buttons, respectively. In different patterns, these two buttons can execute any number of combination attacks. This translates into a whole lot of button mashing, because despite there being a number of ways to intentionally execute combos, the most effective technique is to mash both buttons as frequently and as fast as you can. While this isn’t often desirable, it ends up being so much fun that it actually carries the game’s other weaknesses. Add in about a billion enemies and you have yourself a game.
