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.

game is somewhat janky, but offers an OK combat and interesting characters and setting.

7 levels are great and 14 levels are bad

I really like the start of the game and several missions before the last one. The story is good, gameplay is good also. It's simple and fun hack and slash to play to relax. I have feeling that devs did like 7-8 levels and found out that game is too short. So they decided to add more missions just to extend the game time. Some of these "filler" missions are bad, others are just horrible, but the game is still fun. It hooks you at the start and when you start to hate, it returns to good missions.

Fun little adventure game.

A nice concept. Some sound issues but a fun couple of hours of play.
