The PlayStation Move version of this game is a one or two player adventure that features sword fighting and archery. In the story an evil Sorcerer has invaded Prince Edmund's Castle. Players fight to restore order to the kingdom. The game features multiple pathways, unlockables and modes, along with power-ups and secrets to discover. There are both single player story modes and multiplayer modes, with online,competitive and co-op play. Our game testers liked the story, especially the illustrated cut scenes. The game design uses an "on-rails" technique where the game moves your character around for you, making it possible to focus on Deadmund's sword swings, shield movements, arrows, and so on. This feels "weird", but the overall game is fun.
