An announcement this morning from e.p.i.c. Interactive describes a new licensing agreement with Spellbound Entertainment, a fellow German game developer with a number of titles under its belt. The first results of the deal will be that Robin Hood: The Legend of Sherwood will be making its way to the Mac platform.

Robin Hood is an 2D isometric strategy game in which you control a band of Merry Men to work your way around enemy soldiers and accomplish various objectives. Additionally, a unique mouse-based fighting system allows you to battle it out when stealth isn't an option.

Here's an overview from the game's site:

Whether you sneak into a castle and avoid the sentries or whether you take the direct route with sword and bow, is up to you. For example you can use the reduced visibility during the hours of darkness to your advantage. Or you can deploy the numerous abilities and special objects your men have, in order to distract the Prince’s henchmen. Or then again you could try to fight your way through to your goal using well-aimed bowshots and skilfully deployed weapons. A lot of different possibilities present themselves; you just need to use them wisely.
