Paladin Slayer

Paladin Slayer is a third-person hack-and-slash game set in a medieval fantasy universe of intrigue and varied environments. You play as a renegade knight caught in a conspiracy by the Paladins, investigating the plot while fighting Paladins, witches and other threats. Dialogues advance the story, and you sometimes take control of characters other than the main one.
