Description
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.

Key Features

Easy entertainment

Its a simple action based game with some minor treasure hunt. There is actually a plot written into it, not so grand, but enough to move you around. Split screen included, as a second character always with you. You can change between then anytime. With some skill costumization. If you liked Lord of The Ring Return of the King, this will be also entertaining.

Not bad for a freebie

Simple linear hack and slash game to pass the time that kind of reminds me of Venetica (3rd person, graphics on the simpler side, nice looking levels, repetitive combat). Had a hard time pulling off the combos so stuck to basic attacks mostly. Checkpoint saves mean I gotta notice when the game saves before I exit, maybe finish a level first to be sure, but really each level is not too long. Multiplayer is no longer included (I hope GOG removes that tag). Stay away if you are looking for good story / combat / challenge / graphics / voice acting (they are all in here, not the greatest but not totally trash). Not something I would buy but happily play as a GOG giveaway.

It's ok

I got this game for free on GOG and I like it so far. Combat is ok but I would like to see more combo strikes. Graphics is not soo good, but I don't complain. Character movement is bad when you change directions, if you go straight and move only camera it is ok. Skill talent tree could be better and reveal skills in the tree is must have but this game makes you to first to spend points for skill to reveal others which I do not like. Overall, 6 out of 10.

One of the best game

Good graphics and good gameplay. I also like that it's in the 13th century so like very old and that the story is about Christianity.
