For most of the game players will control Joan from a third person perspective, roaming the fields, towns and castles of worn-torn France as she attempts to move from one objective to another, often with allies at her side and multiple side quests to complete apart from her main goal. Combat and movement here is extremely intuitive. I usually have to change a game’s presets to suit my own style of play, but the control key mapping is straightforward and easy to learn, and with a quick click of the left mouse button players will find themselves chopping down enemies with little effort. The combat is reminiscent of The Two Towers, Return of the King, and even more distantly, Golden Axe. It’s quick, chop ‘em up swordplay, with options to block, use a ranged weapon and perform a strong attack. There’s even a finishing move (slightly akin to the ‘killing-move’ used in Return of the King) to strike when the enemy has fallen flat on his back.
