"Lionheart: Legacy of the Crusader" offers a unique roleplaying adventure which taking place in an excellent alternative history. You'll run in to the famous Knights Templars and the Spanish Inquistion as well as many famous historical characters such as Leonardo da Vinci, Joan of Arc and even Shakespeare. Despite having a great storyline and an incredibly amount of historical lore, the rest of the game doesn't quite hold up. It's hard to point to a specific reason as to why, most of the time it simply feels uninspired, especially the level design - the world just feels very cramped together and it becomes a bit frustrating navigating the claustrophobic maps back and forth (there is a lot of backtracking and running around). In the end this is still a GOOD game, but not as great as it could have been. If you truly love RPG's you should at least give it a try!
