Taking control of these two unlikely allies, the player must uncover the mysteries of the Templar Order, engage in a grand conspiracy, and discover the secret of the Holy Grail.
The three characters may be defined in a traditional action roleplaying game style as a Fighter (Roland), a Rogue/Assassin (Marie) and a Paladin (Celian).
After consulting the Grandmaster, Celian and Roland travel to an undisclosed location in Europe, uncovering a major plot by the Inquisition led by Isaiah.
Both are captured by the Inquisition but are saved by Roland, who was tortured into joining the anti-Templar movement but remains loyal to Celian.
Roland helps them escape, and they reach a fortified Templar stronghold to regroup and fight the French army.
In the end, the player defeats both the Grandmaster and Isaiah and chooses to either use or destroy the Grail, affecting the final narration with either immortal guardians or a free humanity.
While the combat system, visual style and story received some positive feedback, the dated design and lack of polish drew criticism.
[5] Eurogamer described it as "..the good kind of 6/10, the sort of zero-expectation, low-budget game that approaches the score from below...a decent hack-and-slash brawler...Not a great one".
