Gangs of Sherwood is a co-op action game for 1-4 players that takes place in a fictional world of Robin Hood.

Thanks to the powers of the Philosopher's Stone, the troops of the Sheriff of Nottingham are stronger than ever and the people of England have never been so oppressed...

LEAD THE REVOLT
Play as Robin, Marian, Friar Tuck or Little John, four heroes each with a fully customizable playstyle, and search for rich people to rob to donate loot to the poor. From Sherwood Forest to the Sheriff's Flying Castle, the road will be teeming with hordes of enemies. Combine the fighting styles of the four heroes to foil the evil plans of the tyrant and fight against soldiers with extraordinary abilities, unstoppable war machines and terrifying bosses.

STEAL FROM THE RICH TO GIVE TO THE POOR... AND IMPROVE YOUR EQUIPMENT!
Improve your reputation by saving the lives of the innocent and donating loot to the poor to unlock new upgrades and increasingly devastating combos. Pay merchants with the gold you have left to improve equipment and customize skills to suit your fighting style.

CO-OP ACTION FOR UP TO 4 PLAYERS
Score more and more terrifying shots and work with other team members to get extremely powerful combos. Discuss with your friends in your hideout to establish the best strategies to adopt before leaving for missions, then apply them on the battlefield.
