Assassin's Creed: Altaïr's Chronicles Review

Story
Year is 1190 AD, and the Third Crusade hit the Holy Land. Crusaders clash with Saracens to control the Holy City, Jerusalem.

A young killer returned home to Aleppo from a difficult journey, and found attacked by the Templars. He has no choice but to repel this attack, killing a low-ranking captain in the process. Soon he was tasked by al-Mualim to find and retrieve the sacred object: the Chalice. It is said to have the power to unite under one banner all the factions of whatever has a side - either the Crusaders or the Saracens - and end the Third Crusade with the victory of one side or the other. But the cup is too strong an object that will be left in the hands of men alone: It must be found and destroyed.

Killer, Altair, began his journey in Damascus, where Rafik told him (after testing skills on the target.) That the traders, Tamir, has connections to the Templars. After interrogating Misbah, a man with connections to Tamir, Altair to face him and, before killing Tamir, learned that the Chalice is stored in the Temple of Sand and Altair which requires three keys to enter it. Altair then visit a circus dancer, Fajera, but he is not willing to help, leaving Altair to resist brute-circus, Badr. After the arrest, he gives Altair the first of three buttons, and said that a man in a hospital in Tyre Templar could help him find two more buttons. Fajera Altair is also the task of killing Templar named Alaat.
