3D turn based strategy game Broadsword: Warlord Edition has released for Xbox One and Nintendo Switch. Based on famous historical events and set in the medieval period, Broadsword allows players to recreate classic single and two-player gaming experiences managing your resources, fighting your enemies and conquering new lands.

Broadsword: Warlord Edition boasts turn-based strategy gameplay as players move from mission to mission in the Middle Ages. Command one of five different armies: the Polish Kingdom of Wladyslaw I of Poland, , Henry III of England, Joan Of Arc of France, Peter I of Spain, or the Hapsburg Empire in this exciting historically based experience!
