The players are offered a story mode to progress through the events of that time with animated cutscenes after each mission, a skirmish battle mode, and a multiplayer mode against another human player.
Set in 1066, most notable for the Battle of Hastings where the Normans conquered the English at Senlac Hill, players get to choose between three armies: the English, the Vikings and the Normans. 1066 is a turn-based strategy game developed to complement the 1066 historical drama documentary commissioned and aired by the UK public-service television broadcaster Channel 4.
