Read the flowery description! (http://www.paradoxplaza.com/games/war-of-the-roses)
A team-based multiplayer melee combat experience, War of The Roses sees players and their band of knights going toe-to-toe with their opponents using authentic and visceral weapons of the time period including broad swords, long bows and battle-axes.
Built on a stunning graphics engine which vividly portrays the fighting from an up-close-and-personal third-person perspective, War of the Roses features both online multiplayer and a single-player campaign. Players will get the chance to lead their warrior through a rich progression system, gaining upgrades and unlocking new content on their path from filthy peasant to unstoppable armored killing machine.
Sadly the trailer looks to be just CGI with no actual gameplay, but a polished medieval multiplayer melee game sounds fun. Its being made by Fatshark, that made Lead and Gold which is both good and bad. Good because L&G looked fun, bad because it was Steam exclusive. So we'll see how it goes. I don't think L&G built up the kind of following that they wanted so perhaps they will try a different strategy this go around.
