Third Soldier is a dynamic action game created by DiezelPower studio. In the past, the company has worked, among other things, on the suspended DogTag project.

Third Soldier takes us back to the dark times of the Middle Ages, and more precisely to 1189. The title tells the story of the great battles fought in the Middle East, where huge armies met. The war, which lasted for months, claimed the lives of thousands of warriors. The last unit of the Crusaders, led by a commander known as the Third Soldier, reached the enemy fortress. The leader, however, was betrayed by his deputy and, accompanied by several dozen of his knights, fought the last duel. There was silence on the battlefields. Knights returning home brought a rumour. Apparently the legendary Third Soldier is alive. Soon the rumors also reached the opponent's camp, which, bearing in mind the great potential of this individual, decided to prepare his most dangerous killers.

In the game we play the role of the title character of a powerful warrior, who remained true to himself on the battlefield (if not count his enemies). The goal is naturally to take revenge on the hordes of enemies and repel the attacks of cunning killers. The title focuses on direct battles from a short distance taking place on large battlefields, arenas, castle walls and many other locations. Our opponents are knights, Persian warriors and mysterious mutants. All in all, we have more than 20 missions, each requiring a slightly different tactical approach.

Going through the different stages of the game we can develop our character. There are many development paths, thanks to countless combinations of modifiers (e.g. Venom, Storm Shield, Counter Blow) and add-ons that affect the hero's abilities. We also have at our disposal a large medieval arsenal - from various types of swords, axes, shields to arches, crossbows and firearms. These tools are complemented by catapults and other characteristic machines, which we can use many times.

In order to increase the attractiveness of their game, the creators have introduced several additional game modes. They appear among them: Survival and Rush. In addition, we can unlock another form of play, namely Massacre, in which the only way to survive is to flood the world with blood. The whole was developed using a three-dimensional graphic engine, which allows to create large battlefields filled with many warriors. We can see them from the top or from the TPP view. The creators decided on a specific style maintained in rather gloomy colors. A lot of blood and scenes of violence appear in the game.
