Wars and Warriors: Joan of Arc
Players' stories
At first glance, Wars and Warriors: Joan of Arc might seem like just another hack-and-slash game. And to some extent, it is. But the game also features different gameplay modes, including a sort of RTS element. Despite its outdated graphics, it has an incredible atmosphere. The soundtrack plays a huge role in immersing you in its world the music is truly beautiful. Many people have probably never even heard of this game, but it’s one of my all-time favorites. In fact, it was this game that sparked my deep interest in history, especially the Hundred Years' War. The game includes character progression, skill upgrades, and even some armor, though not much. You can find unique weapons and even upgrade them, though I don’t quite remember how… maybe with gemstones or crosses? Besides leveling up Joan of Arc, you also need to manage other characters, like Jean de Metz and La Hire. Funny enough, before playing the game, I had already seen Luc Besson’s The Messenger: The Story of Joan of Arc. Then, after playing Wars and Warriors: Joan of Arc, I rewatched the movie and realized how much the game had borrowed from it. One of the best parts of the game is the castle sieges. Well, "best" by 2004 standards, keep that in mind. But with a little imagination, you can really feel like you’re in medieval France. The game is available on Steam, but I really wish it were on GOG as a DRM-free title. Again, it's not a well-known game, but I still hope that one day it will be added to the GOG library.
Dude u play Joann of Arc but this plays like a devil may cry in medieval settings. The makers, elight software did restaurant empire which is already here. I love the esthetics and I got my OG coppy from some game magazine. There was no other such unique game over the years.
You dont stumble upon a game that is a hack-and-slash, fps and rts at the same time every day. This game is unique in its own way and immerse you in its story and setting right away.

THIS takes me back!

Play this game and you'll be back in your childhood if you're me fiddling with your PSP. There has been a significant overhaul in graphics clarity and the controls are all optimized for the most part to PC (F1 is a bit awkward for inventory) but this has that feel of a game pushing the boundaries of hardware from the shiny textures to the sheer amount of enemies and mayhem on screen. And mayhem is apt. This is like a more chaotic and linear version of Dynasty Warriors but also blended a bit with Crisis Core. You can collect items and gear, explore hidden paths with treasures and healing items, liberate camps. Enemies have names and separate statistics. You can have allies, sometimes entire armies. Combat is very hack and slash with very little precision but you can learn moves, block attacks, and there's different characters with different techniques. Voiced dialogue is cheesy but enjoyable just like this wacky anime-flavored high intensity retelling of Joan's story. This is a nostalgia bomb for a very reasonable price. Is it entirely strategic? Not so much. You can slash your way to victory. Is it cutting edge? Hardly: low res textures and some wonky AI. But is it fun, does it run, is it responsive and will it make you smile? I think so!

The nostalgia is strong with this one

I had all but forgotten this game when it suddenly appeared here on gog. And when I played the trailer, it all came flooding back to me, slashing my way across the land. It was an insta-buy as soon as I saw it here. Sure, by today's game standards it can feel a bit clunky at times, but for me that's part of the charm, and a major part of the reason I keep buying these older games on gog. I'm not at all certain, but the graphics seem a bit better overall than they used to be, and the responsiveness in the controls feel a bit better too. But again, that could be just me allowing my love for this game to color my experience, so take that into account. No problems running it on Win11. These days I'm sure there are more modern games that play much better than this one, but if you're like me, chasing the elusive and intense feelings I used to get while playing these older games back when they were new, this may definitely be one for your collection, even if you've not played it before. As a snapshot of this era of gaming, this one is a winner. I purchased my gog copy at a pretty steep discount, but the regular price is also entirely reasonable, and I would have happily paid that price had there not been a sale going on.

Game has no video..

When I start it up it has audio, but no video. I learned if you hit CTRL+ALT+DEL and hit ESC the picture comes back... I don't understand why that works, but whatever. Hope they can fix this problem.

Uhhh... Wrong!

The only reason the Real Joan of Arc got away with what she did is because she was so fugly that she was mistaken for a man.
