Conquests of the Longbow: The Legend of Robin Hood Overview
Conquests of the Longbow: The Legend of Robin Hood is an adventure game set in 1193 following the Third Crusade. The narrative centers on Robin Hood's effort to raise a ransom for the captured King Richard the Lionheart, whose brother Prince John sees an opportunity to seize power.
Gameplay progresses through a series of days, each concluded by completing specific tasks, though the plot can advance even if some objectives are failed. The experience emphasizes exploration and situational tasks over traditional inventory puzzles. Players engage in activities like conversing with characters, gathering information, solving riddles, and participating in mini-games including archery and Nine Men's Morris.
Player choices throughout the adventure have significant consequences, influencing Robin Hood's final ranking and which of four possible endings is achieved. This ranking is determined by factors such as points scored, the total ransom money collected, and the fates of Robin's fellow outlaws.
