Fight the armies of the Sheriff of Nottingham and lead the rebellion, solo or in co-op with up to 4 players. Play as one of the Merry Men, combine your attacks, and free the people in this futuristic dystopia inspired by the legend of Robin Hood.

Gangs Of Sherwood is a cooperative action game for 1 to 4 players set in the reimagined world of Robin Hood.

Through the powers of the Philosopher's Stones, the armies of the Sheriff of Nottingham are now stronger than ever, and the people of England have never been so oppressed…

Play as Robin, Marian, Friar Tuck or Little John, four heroes with unique, fully customizable gameplay styles, and set out in search of riches to plunder so you can give them to the poor. From Sherwood Forest to the Sheriff's flying castle, the way forward is blocked by hordes of enemies. Combine the different heroes' combat styles to foil the tyrant's plans and fight performance-enhanced soldiers, formidable war machines and terrifying bosses that you meet as you advance.

Story

During the last Crusades, King Richard of England and his army discovered a miraculous stone: the Lionheart. The stone was endowed with extraordinary properties, which helped the kingdom to undergo tremendous technological advancement. As the Lionheart was the source of immense prosperity and power, it obviously became the subject of terrible greed. The Sheriff of Nottingham eventually seized it, so he could assert his authority and oppress the English people.

Characters

To rebel against this tyranny, a resistance movement forms to defeat the sheriff's armies and liberate the people from his merciless rule. Four iconic heroes from the legend of Robin Hood lead this rebellion, and in Gangs of Sherwood you can play as Maid Marian, the sheriff's daughter and expert assassin; Friar Tuck, a monk and healer; Little John, a warrior with a steel fist; and, of course, the famous archer Robin of Locksley.

Gameplay

All the characters have their own gameplay styles as well as a wide range of unique and customizable abilities. As you progress, you unlock new combos and fragments, which allow you to pull off increasingly powerful and spectacular combos. Although Gangs of Sherwood can be played solo from start to finish, it has been primarily designed as a co-op multiplayer experience for up to four players. Tailor your heroes to suit your fighting style and take into account your team-mates' strengths, so you can create devastating synergies and triumph over the Sheriff of Nottingham's armies!
