In Gangs of Sherwood, you can play as Robin, Marian, Friar Tuck, or Little John, as you explore Sherwood Castle and surrounding areas to rob the rich to give to the poor.
Thanks to the powers granted by the Philosopher’s Stones, the armies of the Sheriff of Nottingham are now stronger than ever and you will fight back against the oppressed people of England. You can see a brief tease of what is in store in the reveal trailer for the game.
Gangs of Sherwood gameplay
Gangs of Sherwood is a third-person, co-op action game that sees you take on a variety of missions, facing off against tough bosses and enemies.

Each hero has a different playstyle and you will need to combine their powers to perform devastating combos and attacks. As you complete missions you will improve your reputation and save lives, spending gold to upgrade your equipment.
