I will just add my two cents, as an addendum to the most helpful review, which is very helpful. I have two comments to place: the game almost completely loses a story after you leave the first city (which doesn't take as long as you'd hope) AND the "alternate history" is more like name dropping with token connections between real historical characters. First off, the story simply stops after the first city. This would not be so much of a problem if the combat gameplay wasn't difficult and uninteresting. Secondly, and even more grating, the (inaccurate) cliches about historical characters pile high and the generational gap in this cross-ages setting is really too much to bear for someone who knows much about history. If this is you, beware. I also caution anyone about believing anything about the historical characters, even when it seems like it was the developers intention to keep some historical truth for interest. In conclusion, you might find some things to like about Lionheart, but if you would have similiar complaints to me, I would avoid the title.
