_War of the Roses: Kingmaker_ is a multiplayer third-person action game where
you fight online over English towns during the War of the Roses between the
Houses of York and Lancaster in the 15th century. There is a variety of
weapons including swords, daggers, axes, hammers, lances, spears, bows, maces
and crossbows. It is also possible to fight mounted when the ability is
unlocked. Experience points and in-game gold are earned based on the
performance during battles and can then be used to unlock new weapons, armour
and perks. The game attempts to model the medieval weapons as accurately as
possible. Bows have to be aimed quite high above the target, crossbows take a
long time to reload (leaving the character quite vulnerable) and dispatching
enemies on horseback is challenging.
