  1. A raucous blend of third person action gaming and light real time strategy to a package that is enjoyable, intuitive and immersing.
  2. Joan of Arc combines realism with arcade in odd measures, and yet still makes for a great gaming experience. Maybe not everyone’s cup of tea, but you could do a lot worse than give this medieval hack and slasher a test lunge.
  3. It's very unpolished, but incorporating a number of RPG elements into the formula that Koei's had so much success with is such a great idea that Joan of Arc is rather enjoyable nonetheless. [Apr 2004, p.109]

    Great game concept. Bit repetitive at times but a good game altogether.

    I've only played the demo and I can't beat the defense of Orleans mission, the stupid citizens keep dying. But what I'm seeing I've only played the demo and I can't beat the defense of Orleans mission, the stupid citizens keep dying. But what I'm seeing looks on track, with fun battles, rpg like stats, the ability to command units and multiple heroes...and it sounds even better with the siege weapons and rts factors of the game.....i'm sure the later missions will be really cool.....my only problem is in the mission i played when i switched to metz and was killing brits and later switched back to joan she was in the same spot....also the camera can be a little bit tricky but I will probably get the full game.
