By know, everyone's heard about Joan of Arc, the young French heroine whose visions impelled her to save her homeland from English domination. But did you know that she fought against trolls, dark elves and evil catwomen? You would if you were playing Jeanne D'Arc, Level-5's loosely inspired turn based tactical game that adds elements of fantasy to the historical adventure. We recently managed to check out the title and came away with these impressions.

We were told that each mission in the game will have different objectives to keep the action fresh. Some missions will require you to kill every enemy on the screen, while others will require you to get to a specific spot on the battlefield. We checked out one specific mission where we had to escort the Dauphin, Charles the VII to Notre Dame so he could be crowned King of France. Unfortunately, a catwoman and her forces had different ideas, and we had to protect the young royal from meeting an early death. Fortunately, we were able to place a number of troops in front of him to ensure that Charles would make his coronation on time. Depending on the battlefield, players will be able to control anywhere between one and nine different warriors, with the average number of soldiers landing around 5-7 a mission.
