Defender of the Crown Critic Reviews

The game is absolutely recommended, but it really is a shame that the developers didn't get link support in.

Quite enjoyable, with good graphical elements and diverse game play.

It’s all a vaguely swashbuckling load of fun, with action and strategy thrown in together, but nothing outstanding.

The AI still does an admirable job and keeps things random. You never play the same game twice and that really adds to the replay value.

I was certainly interested and entertained, but I just felt more could have been given to you.

Although the action sequences are weak, the overall game play experience is loads of fun.

It's just too bad the developers didn't see fit to add any new gameplay features or a multiplayer mode.

With its easily whipped arcade sequences, utter lack of strategic depth, and painfully unrewarding still-screen ending sequence, DotC provides an experience about as vacuous as the cheesy flicks that inspired Cinemaware's birth.
