Released in 2006 for PlayStation Portable, Jeanne d'Arc is a tactical RPG developed by LEVEL-5 that draws loosely from the historical events of the Hundred Years' War, centering on Joan of Arc's resistance against the English occupation of 15th-century France. The game blends a degree of historical authenticity — populating its cast with figures who were genuine contemporaries and allies of Joan — with substantial fantasy invention. Characters wield magical armlets that grant special combat abilities, and the narrative reframes King Henry VI of England as a ruler possessed by demonic forces, which he leverages to further his campaign against France. This tension between grounded history and supernatural embellishment defines the game's tone. Combat unfolds through the tactical turn-based systems typical of the genre, with players maneuvering units across grid-based battlefields while managing the game's magical mechanics.
In the past, there was a great war between humans and demons. Five heroes created five magical armlets and used their combined power to seal the demons away. Much time has passed, and now France and England are in the midst of the Hundred Years' War. Domrémy, a small village in the Lorraine region of France, was celebrating a festival when suddenly English soldiers attacked. A village girl, Jeanne, was led by a voice from the heavens to save France. Thus begins the journey of Jeanne, and her friends Roger and Liane, in the war to free their country from the tyranny of the demon-controlled English army.
