Product Details
Description:
It is 1588 A.D., a critical year of an alternate history hauntingly familiar yet fantastically alien to our own. Because of one fateful event during the Third Crusade, the history of this world diverged. This event, the Disjunction, ripped open a long-sealed breach to other worlds. Magic energy and powerful spirits flowed into the world, changing the lands and the people forever. Cast into this world, you are a character of your own devices, strengths, and abilities. Set upon by human factions and powerful spirits, you must decide how to best develop your skills in order to triumph over obstacles that lie between you and your true fate. Lionheart brings a combination of story, dialogue interaction, and combat to the PC offering complex character development in a world never before seen in a computer role-playing game.

Lionheart
Directing an orchestra and throwing a punch have one thing in common.
