War and Warriors: Joan of Arc
It seems whenever a heroine comes along in a game they are almost guaranteed to be scantily clad, buxom, and can hand out merciless punishment with blinding speed on their enemies. But if these characters weren’t exaggerated as such, would they be all that interesting? Maybe. The folks at Enlight Software are planning to walk a fine line between fantasy and reality in their portrayal of a woman with War and Warriors: Joan of Arc. She’s been sexed-up a bit with the requisite form-fitting armor, and a distinct lack of dingy stinkiness as well as a full-set of teeth (hardly the norm for people of the Middle Ages), but she’s armed to the teeth and ready to give the British a good old fashioned butt kicking in this role-playing game.
