I recommend this for everything except the final boss fight, which makes the majority of what’s learned throughout the game irrelevant. The final fight is more of a you’d better pay super close attention and not make any misstep at all while commanding your brother to use a skill he should be able to use at the appropriate time without you having to command him. And in that final fight, beyond that, you only use two skills. Shouldn’t developing skills matter when it comes to the end, not just two of them? Story is great! Progression is great! Just the last boss fight makes no sense with how the rest of the game plays.

Archero
Dear archer hero, it’s time to answer the call of the world and complete the necessary challenges to become a god!
Using your skillful archery skills, different arrows and the blessings of the bow gods, you can easily destroy all kinds of enemies and complete a variety of challenges.
Don’t forget to defeat your challengers, they don’t want you to become a god!
Shoot!
Draw an arrow from your pack, then build up your strength and shoot at the enemy! The greater the force, the faster the arrow and the more damage it will do to the enemy.
A shot that hits an enemy may break their joints and slow them down. There is a chance of a blast effect or even a kill shot!
Enemy armour
Enemies do not always reveal their flesh and blood, but usually wear armour of varying strengths in different torso positions, including light, medium and heavy armour.
Usually some enemies will be able to tell at a glance which type of armour is dominant, while others will need to be tried with an arrow.
Each part of the armour has its own durability value and will protect its owner with a response damage reduction parameter until it is depleted, but some arrows can penetrate directly regardless of the armour.
Types of arrows
When facing enemies without armour, or wearing light, medium or heavy armour, the different types of arrows are more effective and are
Normal arrows - average muzzle velocity, penetrate light armour and dent medium armour, but break when encountering heavy armour
Barbed arrow - higher muzzle velocity, penetrates and deals a lot of damage to unarmored and light armour, breaks on medium and heavy armour
Flat arrow - low muzzle velocity, dents almost all armour and loses a lot of durability
Sharp Arrows - Very high muzzle velocity, can penetrate all armour types including heavy armour, but do less damage
Normal arrows are infinite and you will automatically harvest other arrows from the Bow God on a regular basis, so remember to be flexible!
Growth
You gain experience by hitting enemies. Each time you accumulate a certain amount of experience you can upgrade and choose one of three random growth paths. Feel free to choose your own direction of development!
God Wishes
Wishes will accumulate automatically over time, and each successful shot will accumulate more wishes. When they are full, they unleash powerful aspirations.
These skills last for a while and come in different types: from rapid fire and knockback to charm and disguise, each of which has its own use to help you defeat the enemy.
Divine Rites
Each time you achieve a part of your goal, you will receive a gift from the gods. You can choose from a variety of different rewards, from special passive skills, divine wishes or special arrows.
Bow
Find bows with different attributes from all over the map, or from dead enemies, and use them with a passive skill or a divine wish to achieve outstanding results.
Quests or the Bow God
Complete a series of quests for the Bow God and collect crystal shards to cement your path to godhood. As your strength increases, you can receive various levels and quests such as defence, assault, sneaking and collecting.
Special helpers
Skeletons in tombstones, locked gates, stone throwers for defence, carefully erected stone balls, rickety suspension bridges - the mechanics in each mission will be a great help to you!

Misericorde: Volume One
The year is 1482.
The age of exploration and enlightenment is on the distant horizon and the Renaissance is in full swing across Europe; but in England, the War of the Roses is in its final throes. Change is coming, but in one little convent in the north of the kingdom, everyone has seemed blissfully unaware.
Everyone except Sister Catherine, a beloved nun and firebrand thinker who has just been murdered. In an isolated monastery with an already mysterious reputation, any one of the Sisters could be the killer—and Mother Superior is as stumped as anyone else. That’s where you come in.
As an Anchoress, you took an oath to never leave your cell; to devote yourself entirely to God and provide spiritual support to all who came to your door. But as the only Sister who couldn’t possibly have committed the crime, you have a new mission: solve the case, before the bishop shutters the convent and the killer goes unpunished.
The Superior hasn’t told everyone why you’ve suddenly joined the regular congregation, but something tells you most of these women know exactly what’s going on. Who can you trust? Who is being honest, and who has their guard up—and why? Is the convent really haunted? Who killed Sister Catherine? And worst of all… are you next?

Shadwen
Shadwen: Full Stealth Rewind and Fast Forward
Shadwen is a third person stealth escort game crafted by Frozenbyte. You play as Shadwen, an assassin on a mission to kill the king. Early in your journey you save a little girl named Lily from a guard and she then accompanies you on your journey through a medieval city on the way to execute your target.
Story
The story in Shadwen is the weakest part of the game by a large margin. It makes zero sense. First of all, there is no backstory. You begin the game as the little girl, Lily, who is on her way to snatch an apple from a tree. She is caught by a guard but before anything can happen you begin playing as Shadwen ( this intro playing as Lily and Shadwen serves as your tutorial as well) and save Lily from the guard. You are on a mission to assassinate the King who has just defeated the old royal and taken up residence in the castle. For some reason, you decide to take Lily along for the ride. There seems to be no legitimate reason to take this little girl along with you since you already saved her from the guard. From this point until the end of the game, you sneak and/or kill your way through the city with Lily in tow, chatting with her between chapters (briefly).
– Real player with 29.3 hrs in game
The first thing that happens when you start to play Shadwen is, you’ll probably be annoyed by the game. That’s because the controls are rather awkward. If you stop moving in the game the game freezes that very moment. Imagine Keanu Reeves in Matrix during a fight where he’s floating in mid air while the camera is circling around him and you’ll get the idea. In order to re-establish the normal flow of time you can either keep moving or have to press a button. The first time you experience this there’s a big chance the game will repel you. The trick is to get over it. The controls really aren’t the downside of this game and you’ll get used to them very quickly.

Wars and Warriors: Joan of Arc
Very old but catchy and interesting game. For the first time, I’ve played this game when I was a child, and it gave to me tons of hours of fun. Now I can remind to myself of these epic and positive moments.
What’s the game like?
I can compare it with Dynasty Warriors with an actual story set in medieval times, with an inventory system and RTS elements. In simple words, it’s like an RPG (but more or less linear) where you can select the character (not only Joan of Arc is available). The game has eight stages, and each stage has it’s own huge battleground – an entire map where you can feel yourself free to explore every corner. It’ll take about 2-3 hours to finish it. There are even some sub-quests you can get from civilians. However, the main feature of the game is fighting and castle sieges. Command all your troops via RTS mode to besiege the castle or stronghold and switch your control to Joan of Arc to fight personally. Tons of enemies will try to separate your body from your head. You can lead your battle however you want: upgrade your main characters stats and lead an entire army to victory or fight alone 1vsDozens of bastards.

Jeanne d’Arc/Joan of Arc is a medieval action-RPG set during the 100 years war. You can switch to a RTS camera, but if you don’t like it, you only have to use this once to man a trebuchet and command it to attack a fortress. The main focus of the game is combat. You will speak with French citizens and do side missions, but for the most part, you will fight against the English and their allies. I quite like the combat and its many combo attacks, but some newcomers might get overwhelmed by the amount of enemies. Levelling up, increasing your stats and improving your gear and weapons is addicting and you will get very strong at the end of the game when one hero can potentially take out enemy castles on their own if you do it right. Joan of Arc is all about making good tactical decisions and be smart about it. Otherwise you make it harder for yourself. I recommend this game to players who are interested in a medieval setting with lots of fighting.

Made Marion
DEMO AVAILABLE! Check the lil' download button on the right!
What do you do when your best isn’t good enough?
Lady Marion of Glastonbury is going to have to figure that out, and fast. Removed from her position of power and thrust into an unwanted arranged marriage, she finds herself careening through Sherwood Forest toward the troubled town of Nottingham.
Released from the confines of her previous life, who will Marion become? A freedom fighter? A knight-at-arms? A reluctant spy? Will she help create peace in Nottingham or hasten the coming confrontation between the strict Sheriff and the rebel Robin Hood?
And will a woman who resisted marriage end up finding love where she least expects it?
Find out when you’re… Made Marion.
A Romantic Action-Adventure Story
Made Marion is an otome visual novel - a romantic story primarily aimed at women, though of course all genders are welcome to play! It’s inspired by the tales of Robin Hood, but with many of its own twists.
Welcome to Avalon, an alternate-world Medieval kingdom in which humanity exists in a sometimes-uneasy balance with the mystical fae folk. Avalon’s hero-king Richard has gone missing, the nation is deep in debt from a recent war, and the commoners are agitating for more representation in government.
Step into the shoes of the proud young noblewoman Marion and guide her adventure in a richly-detailed fantasy world thick with political machinations and mystical intrigue. Decide who to trust and who to love. Can Marion make the right choices to save Nottingham from a dire fate?
Features:
Gorgeous Graphics with a Celtic Flair: Enjoy our beautiful, expressive characters and a unique world inspired by a variety of Northern European cultures. Celtic design elements are threaded through our character and background designs.
Proactive Heroine: Her name is in the game’s title for a reason! Marion isn’t just along for the ride; she drives the plot forward in many ways and has her own goals and desires.
One Big Choice, Two Different Worlds: After the game’s prologue, you’ll make a big choice that either sends you to Sherwood Forest or the city of Nottingham. Each side has a different cast to romance, and the two sides have a different feeling to them. Sherwood is a swashbuckling action-adventure, while Nottingham has more political intrigue and spy hijinks.
Role-Playing Choices: Instead of using a traditional affection meter, you’ll be making major role-playing choices in each route that lead to two possible happy endings. Choose to be clever or straightforward with the flirtatious Robin. Make idealistic or pragmatic choices with Geoffrey and Gui. It’s up to you, and you won’t be punished with a bad end for your personality choices.
Meaningful Bad Ends: Our bad endings are designed to be logical and interesting, giving hints about the wider story and world or showing a different side of the game’s characters. They’re also easily reversed, as they come from one-off choices.]
Made for Adults: We’re a sex-positive, LGBT-friendly otome game aimed at adult readers, with an over-18 cast. We aim to be mature without being “edgy” and to portray sex as a part of the characters' developing relationships.
New Features Incoming

Meet the Love Interests
Robin of Locksley: A deposed lord who is leading a rebellion against the autocratic Lord Geoffrey of Nottingham. A strong and capable leader with a tendency to hide his true feelings behind a wall of jocularity.
John: Robin’s second-in-command, a gentle giant of a man battling inner demons from his tragic past.
Will, the Scarlet Blade: John’s half-brother, a daredevil swordsman with several large chips on his shoulder.
Lord Geoffrey: Known locally by the derogatory nickname of “The Sheriff,” this stern lord is determined to rule by law, even if the law entails some very onerous taxes. Can Marion uncover the reasons behind his harsh policies?
Meissa: A mysterious, mischievous sage from an enemy land. Kind and compassionate, they harbor a dangerous secret.
Alanna Dale: A merry bard in Geoffrey’s court. Easy to fall in love with but difficult to truly know, she guards herself with layers of lies.
Gui la Londe: A gorgeous, graceful chevalier who is a confidant of Lord Geoffrey’s despite their very different worldviews. He would like to recruit Marion for an important mission of behalf of the Crown.
Revenant March
The stories are gripping, and I found the decisions I needed to make compelling, I had to think about them. I felt acutely that the many strong characters had thoughts and emotions I would have to discover as the story progressed, including the narrator.
I’ve played five hours thus far, in two sittings that both went longer than I’d planned.
– Real player with 5.9 hrs in game
What a pleasant surprise this turned out to be! This visual novel contains an engaging story-line with thrilling plot twists, a cast of interesting, non-cliche characters, and a lovely, intelligent heroine.
Setting:
Revenant March is a dark fantasy set in the Middle Ages. It tackles two mysteries: the horrors that occur in Gremach, and Olenine’s backstory.
Characters:
I absolutely loved following Olenine’s perspective, and how logical minded, yet still empathetic she could act towards the other characters. She ticks all of the boxes in my female protagonist requirements, and I wish we had more main characters similar to her. The side characters are memorable, and their dynamic with Olenine was impressive. Most noteworthy were her interactions with other, equality well written, female characters; such as Tanith and Seilana. But I have to say, her possible friendship with Ennet was also very precious.

Elisa: The Innkeeper - Prequel
Briefly: A free comedy/romance visual novel where your decisions have a refreshingly profound effect on the consequences.
Elisa: The Innkeeper - Prequel is meant as a teaser (or a demo) for the upcoming full visual novel, which was succesfully kickstarted in mid-July ‘16.
Introducing the crew
The premise is a bit silly: It’s a medieval setting based in Florence. Elisa is the innkeeper who (seemingly) inadvertently makes almost every guy who visits fall in love with them. Yet she is not the protagonist.
– Real player with 4.0 hrs in game
Another candidate for the “Mixed Review” category, but ultimately, I’m going to have to down-vote this game.
Elisa: The Innkeeper - Prequel is a visual novel focused on Italian culture. The story is essentially focused on a love triangle between a pompous prince who feels the world owes him, a merchant who believes money can fix every problem, and a manipulative innkeeper known as Elisa (who toys with the Merchant, the Prince, and even the sexist Knight who’s obviously been hurt in his past that leads to his sexist behavior). To be perfectly honest, I don’t like any of the characters and the story comes off as a cliche.

This game is pretty unassuming, but I think the simplicity of the gameplay works in favor for the overall game. With smart humour and surprisingly meta writing, Reigns: Her Majesty exceeded all expectations I had of this game I bought on a whim. I expected something cute and short, but I got a satirical game with a surprisingly deep political system.
The game operates much like a typical Tinder app (swipe left or right for positive or negative reactions). It expands upon this by adding a political edge to it, such that your answers have consequences on the four pillars of your kingdom (Church, People, Military, and Wealth). Surprisingly, this simple system was able to weave politics into its scenarios well, especially since as a ruler and leader, your decisions will have consequences. Eventually, if those consequences rack up, then you go out just like if you were in Game of Thrones - usually, that means death. It’s actually pretty hard to stay alive in this game until much later, and my first few runs as queen ended quite unfortunately under the boots of my citizens due to their love for me, or because I drowned in a lake since my carriage of pure gold broke. Fun times in queendom!
