Evaluation
The First Templar – Steam Special Edition launched on May 12, 2011 as a complete, self-contained action-adventure game. The Steam Special Edition includes a bonus mission ("The Arena") as its distinguishing feature, indicating it shipped as a finished product with no post-launch content cycle. There are no developer news posts of any kind on record — no patches, no DLC announcements, no roadmaps — and no DLC listings exist for the game. This is consistent with a game that launched complete and has received no post-launch content updates. The game remains purchasable on Steam.

About this game
The First Templar follows the story of two main characters – a French Templar, and his companion, a noble lady who has been proclaimed a heretic. Taking control over these two unlikely allies, the player must uncover the mysteries behind the Templar Order, play a role in a grand conspiracy, and discover the secret of the Holy Grail. The heroes face powerful opponents at every turn, including Sacracen, King Philip the IV of France and the Inquisition.
The First Templar features both single player and co-op modes. When playing solo, the player can switch between the two characters, leaving the control of the second hero to the game’s AI. At any moment a second player can join in and take control of the AI-controlled hero.
