War of the Roses is a 2012 multiplayer action hack and slash video game developed by Fatshark and released by Paradox Interactive. It is set during the Wars of the Roses which took place in England during the 15th century. It was released on 2 October 2012. War of the Roses was well received for its extensive customisation enabling character configurations to be tailored to very specific tastes and for its original "control scheme to tackle a new kind of combat with the aim of creating a completely different experience". The game shut down on 28 February 2017.
A follow-up, War of the Vikings, was released in 2014, but was shut down in 2017.
