From Cinemaware:
Defender of the Crown for Game Boy Advance celebrates the Age of Chivalry,
when lusty wenches and black-hearted villains rule the countryside. King Richard
has been slain and all of England is thrown into civil war. Only one person can
lay siege against the enemy and outwit the vile Normans to restore order to the
war-torn land. In this one-player arcade-style action combat and strategy game
players must face their foes on the battlefield or in grand tournaments of
chivalry.
Players engage in majestic tournaments where they joust for fame, fortune and
land, engage their rivals in intense sword-fighting duels, and castle-shattering
catapult sieges. Whether players are rescuing beautiful damsels in distress,
crushing their rivals by defending their territories in battle from invasion or
building their armies and reputation through a stunning variety of arcade
sequences, victory will not come easy. To save England, skills, swordsmanship
and military prowess will be severely tested to succeed and win the love of many
a beautiful damsel.
