King Richard the Lionheart is gone to the Crusades, along with most of England’s able-bodied men, and has left the kingdom in the hands of his brother, the wicked Prince John. Meanwhile, the Prince’s ambitious crony, the Sheriff of Nottingham, terrorizes the countryside.

As you strive against the evil Sheriff, your every choice will change your fate. But fate can be fickle or forgiving. Just how much so depends on you.

Choose Your Difficulty Level

Story-Mode: The state of England is a chaos waiting to be relieved by your actions. Skilled warriors, battle-hardened from years of war and unrest, are ready to join your band. Gold travelling through Sherwood is lightly guarded.

Normal: The best of England is away at the Crusades, but a core group of skilled yeomen remain in the country, ready to fight injustice at your call. Gold travelling through Sherwood is moderately guarded.

Challenging: You’re just another band of ruffians, while the Sheriff’s forces are highly trained and ride regular patrols around Sherwood. Gold travelling through Sherwood is heavily guarded, and the challenges you’ll face may demand hard choices.

Impossible: The Sheriff and his company of elite soldiers wrap Sherwood in an iron fist, while only untrained peasants are desperate enough to join your cause. You begin with nothing; may God have mercy on your soul.
