Lionheart: Legacy of the Crusader is an Action RPG by Interplay / Reflexive Entertainment set in Renaissance Europe with magic. Conflict ensues between the Inquisition and the Wielders, who disagree on magic. Uses the SPECIAL stat allocation system with an in-depth faction system, relatively open world, and plenty of stuff to slash, club, spear, shoot, and zap.
Notable for an advanced case of ExecutiveMeddling - for the first hour or two of gameplay, it's an entertaining RPG with branching plotlines, moral decisions, lots of factions to align with, interesting [=NPCs=] and altered history to explore. Then they ran out of time, and the rest of the game is a straight hack-and-slash RPG.

!!Tropes featured include:
* AnEconomyIsYou: Mostly played straight, though you can buy common belts and boots that do nothing but weigh you down. [[LampshadeHanging Lampshaded]] by a woman in the market looking for fruit.
* AnachronismStew: The ages (and locations) of several historical figures were fudged to get them into the game.
* BeneficialDisease: The effect of the Disease Ward perk, which gives you passive healing when you're sick.
* BlatantLies: The dialogue screen even tells you when you're about to lie. Most blatant example is you agreeing to kill the River Dryad for the goblins, go to her and refuse, come back and tell she's dead while collecting the prize and getting the head goblin killed.
* DealWithTheDevil: Heavily implied with the Dark Majesty perk, in which a "shadowy figure" makes you a "warrior of unparalleled puissance and [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking A warm climate in your elder years]]" in exchange for signing a blank piece of paper.
* HistoricalDomainCharacter: Several, the most prominent among them being King Richard in the backstory and Leonardo Da Vinci and William Shakespeare in the present. If you're playing a female character, you can get Shakespeare to woo you, read a few of his more famous sonnets, and give you a ring.
* JackassGenie: In the Crypt. Want to be stronger? Congrats, you're now stronger smelling, resulting in lowered Charisma. Want to be rich? Great, you can be renamed to "Rich" at no cost! Wish all nearby enemies were dead? Well, you're in a crypt full of undead, so that's another job well done! It is revealed that this genie [[spoiler: is responsible for Jeanne's curse, because she wished for a way to eternally protect the relic from the undead]]. It is possible for the player to overcome the jackassery of the genie by wishing for a wish that is not twisted into something unintended, but this requires a fairly high Speech skill.
* NewGamePlus: At any point in the game, players can export their characters. These characters can then be used to create a new game; keeping their skills, attributes and perks but losing all items in their inventory.
* OurGoblinsAreDifferent: Here they're cannibal mongols (with Goblin Khan as their leader) who take pride in terrible poetry.
* PointOfNoReturn: [[spoiler: War with England]] After you visit both the Crypt and Nostradamus you can only focus on the main quest for the rest of the game's ten or so hours.
* PropheciesAreAlwaysRight: To Nostradamus, [[spoiler: who happens to be the narrator]] "future is like pages in an open book".
* SaharanShipwreck: Two, though the other is "only" about a mile inland.
* SunkenCity: Ireland hasn't been on the map for a while.
* TakeYourTime: Lionheart being an RPG it's no surprise, but encounter a hilarious example when Machiavelli (yes, that Machiavelli) gets attacked as you get out of his house. The coming fight could be tough for a beginner, but no worries, you can return to save him whenever you like.
* TheHashshashin: They appear as villains.
* TheMagicComesBack: About ten thousand years ago a spell was cast to eliminate all magic and fantastic beasts. Then, during the crusades of Richard the Lionhearted, a counterspell was cast after the execution of 3000 Arab prisoners, releasing all manner of nasties into the world.
