With two separate campaigns, players are given the choice of seeing the Good or Evil side of the war, as they carve a path into an uncertain future for the King and his loyal men.[1] Upon the successful completion of in-game side-quests, players will be rewarded with legendary heroes for use in the main campaign.

It was released on July 25, 2013, for Windows via Steam. The game was met with negative reception.
