Robin Hood: The Legend of Sherwood

I remember playing this game in 2000~ something as it was on CD added to the popular Polish gaming monthly magazine CD-ACTION. One of the best games of its kind, very unique.

Fantastic graphics, unfortuanetly the game only runs with 20 FPS. It is possible to run the game in 1080p, it looks amazing. The game was programmes with a fps limit of 20 fps, and therefore is for me not a pleasant experience to play. Everything feels a little laggy.

Amazing game, very good scenarios, unique i wish there was like a map editor or something and where you can play units.

Back when I was a kid, I was a huge fan of Robin Hood thanks to the amazing movie called Adventures of Robin Hood starring Errol Flynn. As the time passes i've discovered this gem in a form of demo, it made me get the full version of it immediately in a form of CD. While the gameplay looks similar to the Commando, it actually has new features of it's own such as the hub level, which you can command your troops to train in combat,harvest/create items that will be useful in later games or perform optional missions such as robbing the caravan, saving someone or deal with Prince John's scouts who went off to find your hideout. Another new feature has been added to the combat itself, this time you have to perform a mouse gesture to perform any kind of attacks for example. If you draw a circle, the character will spin around knocking anyone near him, useful when you get surrounded. Also in a hideout you can send your troops to help your allies in invasion or do it by yourself, which occurs in later missions. I have nothing to say about the music, it is just great and memorable. Also bonus points for making the Robin Hood look similar to Errol Flynn while he played as him in my childhood movie.

The game itself is great, but… Sadly the Mac version (Mac OS X 10.2 and newer) is missing. There was a patch to make it run on 10.7 (Lion). Additionally, there was a Linux (x86) version as well. There even was a Linux PowerPC version (all that was needed was to replace one binary). Other than that: thanks for including four languages: retail you can only get either English, German, … and so on. Retail you can also either get PC i.e. Windows or Mac+Linux. PLEASE add the Mac+Linux version as well!
