Lionheart: Legacy of the Crusader - screenshot

Award-winning Black Isle Studios unleashes an epic RPG like no other. In the 12th century, a supernatural catastrophe tore the fabric of reality, unleashing spirits and magic, forever changing medieval Earth. Cast into this world and besieged by spirits and power groups, you must gain allies, take up arms and find your destiny.

To the common folk, magic was something to be feared and undoubtedly the handiwork of evil demons. People across Europe sought protection from the forces of evil and therefore relinquished utter control of their lives to the Inquisition.

To this day, the Inquisition still governs most of civilized Europe, directly or indirectly. In their relentless hunt for heretical wizards and magical creatures the Inquisition inspires awe and faith among many, and is despised and feared by others.

Choose your champion – Feralkin, Sylvant, Demonkin, or Human Pureblood – and align yourself with the Knights Templar, the Inquisition, or the Wielders. Explore 16th century Europe, twisted and changed by magic, and encounter the likes of Leonardo da Vinci and Galileo.

Decent RPG hindered by a troubled history (by EyeNixon

EyeNixon)

Lionheart was one of the last RPGs (if not the last indeed) published by Interplay, the pre-release hype was contained enough and the game's alternate history prospect interesting and unique, it was, as many publications would name it during its development, a medieval Fallout.
Lionheart: Legacy of the Crusader takes place during an alternate version of 12th Century Europe,... full review

A good action RPG, with an original storyline. (by Evilross

Some of the reviews for Lionheart seem less then flattering, but do not make the mistake of thinking this is a poor quality game. It's very far from it.... full review

Enjoyable beginning.... (by cthulhie

Not much new to add: the first ten hours of the game feature a good balance of quests, combat, and conversation. The SPECIAL system is compelling, and (while magic is a bit underpowered) it's neat to see it applied to a fantasy setting and corresponding set of skills. The characters you meet are amusing, though generally shallow. The setting and backstory is promising, but lacks... full review
