The First Templar was developed by Bulgaria's Haemimont Games, creator of adventuresome real-time strategy games with deeply researched historical settings, including Celtic Kings, Imperium Romanum, and Tzar. Weaving through themes of justice, conspiracy, and the secrets of the Holy Grail, the narrative calls on players to contemplate their actions in context, as even the most righteous cause may be carried out in a gruesome and unscrupulous manner.
The characters grow more powerful with experience, as players custom-develop them up a branching skill tree. In the game's two-player drop-in cooperative mode, each player controls a character, working together to battle enemies and solve environmental puzzles. Single players can control either one of the characters, allowing the computer to control the other and switching between the two to access the most useful skills from one situation to the next. Taking control over these two unlikely allies, the player must uncover the mysteries behind the Templar Order, play a role in a grand conspiracy, and discover the secret of the Holy Grail. Its story follows two unlikely companions: a French Templar Knight and a young noblewoman who has been accused of heresy and driven from her homeland. The First Templar follows the story of a French Templar and his companion, a noble lady who has been proclaimed a heretic. The game takes place during the late 13th century, in the pre-dawn of the Enlightenment. For online play you have the usual options, including drop-in/drop-out support. The First Templar is a third-person action-adventure game, with a historical-fiction setting and two playable main characters. The co-op support in The First Templar is surprisingly thorough, especially for a PC title.
