Set in the middle ages, Broadsword: Age of Chivalry is a turn-based strategy game where the goal is to become the dominant force in Europe.

Broadsword: Age of Chivalry boasts turn-based strategy gameplay as players move from mission to mission in the Middle Ages. Command one of four different armies: the English, The French, the Spanish, or the Hapsburgs in this exciting PC game.  Lead different types of units into battle -- from archers, knights, pikemen and catapults with special units per nationality.  Control special 'heroes' units such as Henry III, Joan of Arc and El Cid, among others whose special 'hero' powers can affect the entire battlefield. Set in medieval Europe. The game features four playable factions, a single player campaign, strategic gameplay, asynchronous multiplayer matches, and cinematic battle sequences.

The player will undertake a chain of missions in the 1st Campaign, that follow Joan of Arc as she liberates France from the English. The campaign also functions as introduction/tutorial to teach new players the game features in the most engaging way. It will begin with the Siege of Orleans and continue through to the Battle of Patay. The second campaign follows King Edward III in his campaign against King Philip VI to reclaim the lands that are his by birth right.

Players are able to challenge another human opponent to a match. It will start with a person picking their faction and then choosing a map. Once each player has a faction and map has been chosen, the players will enter the game. Since it is asynchronous, each player will take their turn, moving units and capturing points.

Will you re-define the history of Europe?
