Heads Will Roll lets the player to take a role of an ordinary medieval soldier who finds himself in the middle of the legendary Hundred Years War between the kings of England and France. You start your way as a simple footman, whose sole ambition is to survive, but with proper skill and cunning or through blood and preservation, you might soon see yourself becoming one of the most famous knights of your time.

This game is a unique type of RPG with survival mechanics and turn-based combat that requires player to make careful decision both inside and outside the fight. The sophisticated combat system utilizes many different parameters including characters’ stats and attributes, familiarity and proficiency with certain weapons, weapon length, fatigue level, various traumas and injuries, as well as hundreds of different items and consumables.

Loot it all
The game offers more than 150 different lootable items varying from all kinds of medieval weaponry and armor to trinkets with unique effects, several types of poisons, medical supplies and many crafting items.

Face the consequences
All of the actions that your character takes will have in-game consequences. The NPCs will change their opinions of you depending on how you treat them and how you behave both inside and outside of battle. This in turn will enable or disable various future interactions with them and sometimes trigger special events.

Crafting system
Make good use of any loot or supplies that you got your hands on. A lot of them can be combined in order to craft medical and utility items, as well as many types of crossbow ammunition.

Big replayability
Heads Will Roll utilizes many random generation elements that will turn two separate playthroughs into two completely unique experiences. Start with different items and stats, face different enemies, make different choices and live through different events each time you play.

Huge arsenal
The game has dozens of weapons ranging from swords, axes, maces and spears to throwing knives and crossbows. All of them have varying movesets that rely on and make use of different stats & skills (strength, agility etc.), while also having distinct features and countering each other in some way.

All’s fair in love and war
Fight not only for wealth and honor but also for the hearts of several stunning beauties with unique personalities, views on life and tastes in men. Conquering some of them might prove to be just as tricky as surviving the war.

that's what was missing in A Legionary's Life - romance

edit: there's Heads Will Roll Reforged planned for release in September, that seems to be an effort to fix/upgrade the original? and Downfall, which is releasing in three weeks, a prologue to Reforged?

how many statues, paintings, etc., of women have you seen that have body hair?
the idea of body hair removal being a modern thing is a fabrication

Got a source? I remember reading about a crusader knight who was amazed to have a local barber shave his pubic hair, he was so impressed he forced the barber to do it to his wife as well.

It is possible that ancient statues are a certain idealization. However in ancient times hair removal was an important hygienic and aesthetic ritual, at least for upper class women (and partial for men) in Greece, Rome, Egypt, middle East. In medieval times the aesthetic reason was less important (fewer occassions to present oneself naked) but hygienic one was even more important - to combat lice (for this reason prostitutes removed pubic hair).

The methods of course were considerably more painful (for both men and women) than today.

It's because of erosion.
Now prove me wrong...

On a serious note, there's probably 0 naked paintings of common (non whores) women from the middle age and if there is a few, it's not representative, I doubt peasants were taking time to somewhat shave themselves in between their 16 hours of daily labor.
And most of the population was rural.

So there's that.

I saw some French women in 20th-21st century. though. The idea of body hair removal ever is a fabrication?

The practice of women removing body hair has been around for thousands of years and is definitely not new or a Western thing
