The game itself needs no commentary, it's a golden classic that will never die. The current version on Steam runs fine, however the text font in the game is some kind of standard Windows font that looks out of place and ruins the classical immersion for anyone who returned for it. The GOG version does not have this problem. Bit of false advertising from the Store Page on Steam in that regard - because you will not …

Do not listen to the negative reviews, this does work on windows 10, and you can fix the frame rate. you don't even need the patch, just listen to the guides in the community hub. this game is good, if you like desperadoes or commandos you will love it.

The game still looks good and it's fun despite how old it is. To make it work on Windows 10 you need DXWND and set the options "Window mode" and "Flip correction" (to avoid the mouse trail). It's a shame that steam can't be bothered to make it work out of the box

The premise that the Saxons were still stridently pagan in the 12th century is cute, but England had been Christian for 500 yrs by that point, and in most Robin Hood stories, he goes on crusade with King Richard. And "the old gods" is just straight Game of Thrones fluff

The graphics are nice, even for today's standards, if you take into account how old it is, but it looks... good this way. No, really, that shouldn't concern you. The story, well, if you know the legends and ballads, then you know what this is about. And in the end, everyone knows who Robin Hood was (or at least, what people told over centuries). The gameplay is…

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →In many Robin Hood legends, Robin and his Merry Men enjoy the game of "Buffets," which involves them taking turns punching each other to see who falls over first. It captures their sense of rough, macho comradery, which is often forged by the Merry Men brawling with each other. #MythologyMonday
