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.

NACON and Appeal Studios are delighted to share new details about the four heroes in  Gangs of Sherwood in a new video series narrated by Andrea Di Stefano, Game Director at Appeal Studios.

In Gangs of Sherwood, you’ll be able to choose between 4 characters,  Robin, Marian, Little John and Tuck, each with a completely unique and customizable gameplay style, to fight against the evil armies of the Sheriff.

Each character has a wide range of special abilities. They can be customized using various fragments that can be found during the adventure. These fragments alter the characters' attacks to suit the player's preferred fighting style. When our heroes are confronted by boss enemies, they can call on their unique skills, called Rebel Abilities, or temporarily upgrade their skills with the special Rebel Instinct mode.

Get to know the characteristics and unique features of our heroes:

Robin

Robin of Locksley is the leader of the Resistance and an archer who never misses his target. He has a wide range of skills and combos that can fell the strongest enemies once he reaches his maximum potential, and all from a distance!

With his special shots, Robin can hit several enemies at the same time, drill through shields and launch enemies in the air to open up combo opportunities for his allies!

Marian

Marian is the notorious daughter of the Sheriff of Nottingham and her lethal elegance hides  many deadly abilities. She is an assassin who can fight equally well from a range, as well as up close with her retractable chain-sword.

Whether you use her sword to cut down large groups of enemies, or target more distant ones with her daggers, Marian is extremely versatile and can deal damage effectively all over the combat arena.

Friar Tuck

Friar Tuck is a healer monk and plays a key role in the Resistance. You would never see him without his mace and his barrel of mead. Tuck is a melee specialist and an excellent defensive tank for your team. Swing his mace to deal huge damage over an area and deploy his giant shield to protect your allies from the most challenging enemies.

Friar Tuck's gameplay is all about charging his attacks to increase their damage and grant them devastating properties, such as generating shockwaves or deadly fire pillars. His censer can also heal all nearby allies.

Little John

As a former leader in the Sheriff’s army, Little John is the most experienced member of the Gang. His bravery and might are unmatched. He is a ferocious brawler who can dish out rapid devastating punches.

His devastating fist of steel deals massive damage in close combat and builds up heat, which he can then release with a powerful Overheat attack. He inflicts heavy damage on his opponents by grabbing them or by emitting powerful laser beams that cross the battlefield.

Improve your reputation by saving innocent lives and giving your loot to the people in order to unlock new upgrades and even more devastating combos. Spend your remaining gold with merchants to upgrade your equipment and customize your skills to match your combat style.

Land more and more impressive combos and cooperate with the other members of your team to achieve ultra-satisfying combos. Meet up with your friends in your hideout and determine the best strategy to adopt before setting off on missions, then put it to the test on the field of battle.
