Take charge with Broadsword on Xbox
Taking charge of various armies, whether that be the English, the French, the Spanish, the Poles or the Hapsburgs, BROADSWORD: WARLORD EDITION will give you the tools needed in order to find success in conquering the land.
To do so, you’ll need to make the most of the fighting units under your control. They range from archers to longbowmen, to catapults with immense power and more. And neatly, BROADSWORD: WARLORD EDITION plays host to some special units too. They come in the form of hero characters, ready to turn the tide of the battle; Henry III, Joan of Arc, Peter of Castile and more will happily push out their own special abilities.
BROADSWORD: WARLORD EDITION is a single player game, but Hoplite are providing opportunities that should keep you going long into the night.
