Robin Hood: The Legend of Sherwood

In medieval England, with King Richard held captive and Prince John ruling, you take the role of Robin Hood and lead his companions from their base in Sherwood Forest against the prince’s forces.

The campaign includes more than 30 missions, from robberies and infiltrations to ambushes and castle assaults. You select companions with different abilities and use stealth, distractions, and tactical combat to complete objectives.

Between missions, the band returns to camp, where supplies can be replenished and characters trained. Mouse gestures control special combat skills, while sparing enemies can build public sympathy and attract recruits.

Players often describe the game as a fond childhood return, and praise its stealth-focused tactical missions, the need to plan around different character abilities, and its Sherwood setting. Some also enjoy replaying missions in different ways. Reviews are mixed on how well the older game holds up, with repeated complaints about modern-PC compatibility and dated presentation or controls.
