The First Templar follows the story of two main characters – a French Templar, and his companion, a noble lady who has been proclaimed a heretic. Taking control over these two unlikely allies, the player must uncover the mysteries behind the Templar Order, play a role in a grand conspiracy, and discover the secret of the Holy Grail. The heroes face powerful opponents at every turn, including Sacracen, King Philip the IV of France and the Inquisition.
The First Templar features both single player and co-op modes. When playing solo, the player can switch between the two characters, leaving the control of the second hero to the game’s AI. At any moment a second player can join in and take control of the AI-controlled hero.

Why buy on GOG.COM?
DRM FREE. No activation or online connection required to play.
After 2+ hours felt the combat to be repitative, later the stages improved. The characters, gameplay and story is ok. Animations are bit clunky though.
What is it with publishers that are to lazy to implement a real save system. If you have responsibilities in life, this is a must in games. It is not fun to play the same level over and over.
Only checkpoints. No save system. Boo!
Why waste my time.
