The First Templar - Steam Special Edition

An classic medieval action game that is particularly enjoyable in co-op. The combat is straightforward, but the campaign offers a nice little story and a respectable amount of content for its age. 100% steam achievements Time : 31.3H Completion Difficulty : 4/10 Playthroughs : 1 Missables : None DLC Required : Yes included Guide Recommended : Yes Notable requirements : Complete the game on hard, complete every bonuses objectif, complete all arena without being hit.

It is a decent but somewhat simple action-adventure game. The story is quite interesting; the fights are simple. But the best thing it has a split-screen option to play couch co-op. It is so rare. It is worth playing, and it won't take too long to finish.

The First Templar - Steam Special Edition is a medieval action-adventure that mixes straightforward sword fighting, light character progression, exploration, and cooperative gameplay within a story inspired by the Knights Templar and the legend of the Holy Grail. Developed by Haemimont Games and published by Kalypso Media Digital, it belongs to an older generation of third-person action games where the focus is placed on a structured campaign rather than a massive open world.

The First Templar First of I have a lot of nostalgia for this one so keep that in mind when reading this review. The Story is amazing and fun and I love the setting. The Graphics are dated but you get what you get with these old games. The World is well built for a sandbox and it feels somewhat lived in IMO. The Characters are interesting and fun with three playable characters each with their own class systems. The Soundtrack very good if simple. The Gameplay is very fun if not very challenging once you get the hang of it most fights are easy. Multiplayer Gameplay there is no support for Online Coop but there is split screen if you have a controller and a IRL friend that wants to sit beside you and play it with you. What I Loved everything, the Outfit options, the Skill Tree, just everything. What I Hated the Arena, Bear Traps, Puzzle/Trap sections. Bugs and Glitches: I ran into one glitch where a collectible does not show up but there was a work around Online I found. In closing The First Templar is an amazing little gem of a game that was as fun today as it was years ago and I think I got it back then for $5.00USA and I got it today for $3 ish USD so its a no brainier f…
