War of the Roses: Kingmaker is a team based third person action game set in 15th century England. Two rival branches of the Royal House of Plantagenet - the house of Lancaster (the reds) and the house of York (the whites) - it's a fight for the throne, and the player is thrown into the fray.

Janky, messy and sometimes ugly, it was a great mmo to play with a lot of minute details, many builds and a simple but deep fighting style - they used to call it mount & blade lite. The scale of battles felt incredible, realistic and one player could truly tip the scales with a broadsword (or a farmer's tool, as did many).
Fatshark dropping all work on the game to sell War of the Vikings just to jump ship to Vermintide a year later is one of the tragedies of modern gaming I will never recover from. Right now they're making bank with Warhammer and I respect the hustle, but nothing triumphed in soul like War of the Roses.
