The First Templar is a co-operative action adventure game for Xbox360. The game portrays a dark and gritty view of the late 13th century where old friends become enemies, corruption spreads throughout the Church and fallen knights oppress the weak and renounce their oaths.
The
First Templar follows the story of two main characters – a French
Templar, and his companion, a noble lady who has been proclaimed a
heretic. 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. The heroes face
powerful opponents at every turn, in the face of the Saracen, King
Philip IV of France and the Inquisition.
The First Templar features both single player and co-op modes. When playing solo, the player can switch between the two characters, leaving the control of the second hero to the game’s AI. At any moment a second player can join in and take control of the AI controlled hero.
