![]() ![]() ![]() The other Robin Hood trademark - bows and arrows - is also present and it's entirely easy to use. The implementation makes sense and it doesn't take long to get a handle on. Holding down the left mouse button and slashing the mouse (leaving a short trail of light) in different combinations allows for some devastating attacks. The added depth of the sword fights almost offsets some of the zoomed-in ugliness - almost. This is one aspect I would have expected to be improved since Desperados was released about 12 months ago. At it's closest, the view turns into a pixel-fest and, unfortunately, being zoomed all the way in is the most effective way to win sword fights without taking a huge amount of damage. Legend of Sherwood uses the exact same engine as Desperados - although the backgrounds and environments look great there are only three levels of zoom: way out, medium, and close. This is where the bad things start to mingle with the good things. Hell, an arrow won't even drop the knight you have to get up close and personal with your sword. This means a complete change in tactics since Robin Hood and his band of happy-go-lucky guys, can't plug an armored knight from across the map. Obviously, the world of Robin Hood is populated with swords and arrows, and not with six-shooters and sniper rifles. Robin Hood: The Legend of Sherwood does the same thing for the Sherwood Forest while sticking closely to the conventions of Desperados, which is a good thing and a bad thing.įirst the good, getting a handle on the controls will be a snap for players of Deperados, as Legend of Sherwood handles and plays alike - controlling a group, distracting enemies, an emphasis on stealth, etc. It had a huge amount of challenge and it did justice to the Wild West setting with some slick graphics and sound. Probably one of the most underrated RTS games last year was Desperados: Wanted Dead or Alive. Shrewd players will design strategies to foil Prince John's men by utilizing the many weapons and tactics available. An intuitive interface helps players learn the combat system quickly, and everyone can practice skills at the outlaws' training camp. Robin and his friends will scurry around Sherwood Forest, Nottingham Castle, York, Leicester, Derby, and Lincoln as they harass the Prince's guards and evade his powerful armored knights. With Richard the Lionhearted fighting in the Crusades, England suffers under the cruel hands of the evil Prince John. Along the way, you will meet legendary characters such as Lady Marion, Little John, Brother Tuck, Allan from the Valley and Will Scarlet.Robin Hood, Maid Marion, Friar Tuck, and Little John join forces when Robin of Locksley returns from his foreign adventures. There are many ways to get rich in the game, for example, ambush royal convoys in Sherwood Forest, attack sheriff’s knights, fight dangerous bandits, rob the homes of wealthy aristocrats. You will attack the people of the Sheriff of Nottingham and wealthy merchants who make money working with an oppressive ruler and usurper. Once you’ve gathered and trained enough people, it’s time to go out and about at which point Robin Hood Sherwood Builders turns into a massive and spectacular action game. You will find recruits among the peasants from the surrounding farms and villages, as well as from the people and guards of the city of Nottingham, and then you will have to take care of many aspects of peoples lives to keep our allies healthy. You need to strategically choose a place in the vast Sherwood Forest and provide the inhabitants with suitable living conditions, food, clothing, equipment and weapons for both close and ranged combat. First you need to build a forest camp that will grow with the new inhabitants. But in order to achieve this, a lot of efforts have to be made. The main goal of the game is to create a community large enough to revolutionize the power levels in Nottingham. Gather an army of noble bandits and together with them become the legends of Sherwood Forest, fighting the tyranny of the Sheriff of Nottingham.
