A fantasy-infused tactical RPG set during the Hundred Years' War
The briefing
Jeanne d'Arc is a turn-based tactical RPG set during the Hundred Years' War between England and France. Players follow a young girl from Domremy who discovers a magical armlet and is drawn into a struggle against invading forces and humanoid beasts.
Jeanne joins the French army alongside 14 companions, each with distinct skills and personalities. Other armlet wielders can transform into powerful warriors, adding a fantasy element to the historical setting.
The story unfolds through a world map, sequential tactical battles, dialogue, and hand-drawn cutscenes. Optional free stages provide challenging battles, powerful items, and difficult bosses beyond the main story.
