War of the Roses: Kingmaker is a team-based third-person action game developed by Fatshark and released in 2012 for PC. Set in 15th-century England, it draws on the historical conflict between two rival branches of the House of Plantagenet — the Lancastrians and the Yorkists — as they contest the English throne. Players take part in team combat representing one of the two factions, the reds of Lancaster or the whites of York, battling for supremacy in a period-appropriate medieval setting. The game places emphasis on multiplayer team play, with each match unfolding as a clash between the two rival houses. Its grounding in a real historical power struggle gives it a distinct identity within the action genre, distinguishing it from more fantastical medieval settings common to the period.
