	Blood, Violence	No Interactive Elements	This is an action/role-playing game in which players engage in fighting to help maintain control of France during the Hundred Years War. As players progress through the storyline, they engage in turn-based battles around various locations (e.g., farms, villages, castles). Players take turns moving their fighters around battlefields, using arrows, crossbows, swords, spears, and animals (e.g., dog bites, bear mauling) to kill enemies. Characters cry out briefly when injured/killed, and some attacks can trigger brief, closer-up execution sequences: a soldier stabbing a fallen foe; a bear grabbing an enemy and biting him repeatedly; a soldier using an axe to strike an enemy in the head and chest. Cutscenes also depict instances of violence and blood: a fighter cutting an enemy's throat, resulting in large blood splatter; a soldier using a mace to beat down a fallen foe; several soldiers killed by arrows through the head. A handful of sequences depict blood sacrifices: a figure stabbed on an altar, with blood flowing into a pool; several dead soldiers strewn amidst large bloodstains.
