King Arthur: Knight's Tale Reviews

I'm still not a turn-base game veteran but starting to like more and more. This game is a good boost of love to this genre! Still unfinished but I recommend. Love the fact that the game pushes you toward maliciousness.

Do I recommend this game? Yes and no. If you like tactical turn based RPGs you will probably like this one, but there are certainly better titles out there (Wasteland, Pillars of Eternity to some extent). If you are new to this genre I suggest you try those other games first and only come here if you really *really* like it and have already finished your third playthrough of those games and want more. What it comes down to is that the voice acting and plot is ok at best, and I wasn't a big fan of the whole idea where the timer of everything in Camelot runs how many missions you do. So if all your knights are wounded you might not be able to continue because you need to finish a mission for them to heal up. If never locked the game to me but it could happen and losing a 30+ hour save to that ain't fun. Some heroes and abilities are also just not very good, the difference is quite large. In the end I did finish it, but I'm not going to replay it. Get it on a sale, 45€ is way too much for this game imo.

An RPG with very solid tactical gameplay, and enough strategic decisions to keep things interesting.

I love the campaine of the game, It is so good, but god damn it the end game is absolute shit, they ruin the balance to an insane level where they just throw more of the same enemy at you whilst also multeplying their hit points by two at the least

Smart game. The charters are unique. The strory need some background knowledge but it's even funnier if you know the Monthy Python version :) There could be a easter egg for that... anyway I didn't like when we get the feeling of rushed game and a bit... how should I say? Crappy. For example: Here is the end game boss oh you killed it? Now kill it 3 more times to finish the story... And the whole graphic is kinda with the same feeling that it came from an Indi studio. Anyway I highly recommend to anyone who like to play tactical RPGs like Third Age, FF etc... It's good for one for sure. Oh and the atmosphere with the foggy everything dead and cold is really nicely present GB :D Jk

Very interesting game, get's repetitive after a while but it's worth i. Would destroy King Arthur again.

This a great game! Challenging but not impossible. Good graphics and sound effects...

I enjoyed this more than expected. The game is essentially a dark fantasy medieval XCOM-like with RPG elements. The game is broken up into missions of killing several packs of enemies with a small amount of exploration rather than a free roam open world. I have only completed the main story (including all side missions) and 1 end game mission so far. The main story missions were relatively easy, but the difficulty seems to ramp up significantly in the end game. Things that I liked: + Art style and setting (dark fantasy, medieval Arthurian, serious tone) + Tactical combat system + Character progression, builds, and synergies between characters + Large roster of uniquely-voiced playable characters + Voice actor quality, especially Mordred, Brunor, Balin, Black Knight, Morgana. Voiced monologues by Mordred to set up each mission. "Power and Glory". Pre-mission monologues somewhat remind me of Myth: The Fallen Lords (that was such an awesome game back in the day) + Morality system adds flavor to the game and it was cool going full blown Tyrant route + Cut scenes - intro and act 4 ending were cool. Cut scenes between acts were ok, but not as good and lady of the lake facial animations were a little weird. + Music - not many different tracks, but the limited ones available were enjoyable and not annoying/repetitive after many hours of playing + Does not pander to the "modern audience," just cool knights going to battle. Does not overuse purple and teal. + Writing/dialogue was well written and not millenial/quippy/Marvel/reddit tier What could have been better: - More enemy variety - Tactical combat is 2D, could be cooler if it was 3D (verticality) - Add an option for Tyrant Mordred to overthrow Lady of the Lake and seize ultimate power for himself - I think the game uses forced TAA and there can be ghosting visible if zoomed all the way in. This might be more visible at lower framerates. It wasn't noticeable when zoomed out (the normal view distance), so I don't think this is a major issue, but should be noted. Performance was pretty good on a 1080 ti (120+ fps at max settings, but it will be running close to max pwr). Hoping for a full sequel to this. I never heard of this developer before, but they have caught my attention for future developments.

This is a good tactical RPG. It starts slow, and progression is slow, but there's a lot to enjoy here. The main draw is the tactical combat, which is excellent. Positioning and facing are very important. Characters take extra damage when flanked, so maneuvering to block enemies from slipping past you is critical. The combat scenarios are varied and interesting with multiple enemy types and you'll never have a duplicate encounter twice in a row. The setting and characters are great. The knights are complete badasses and deliver wicked lines of dialog from some excellent voice actors. I was surprised how much I liked these guys as I played the game. I loved seeing Mordred face off with some hulking abomination of a knight and demanding they kneel or meet their end. If you're into macho medieval dark fantasy, you will love it. Each encounter has some story elements as you discover what each knight has been up to after the cataclysm. Even the smallest plotlines kept my interest as they fleshed out each knight's story. The RPG elements are really good as well. There are two morality dimensions you act on: Rightful/Tyrannical and Christian/Old Faith. Each combination unlocks different knights and abilities as you play the game. Do you execute traitors or give them a second chance? Each knight can be leveled up and change equipment as well. New skills give your knights a definite power/utility increase. The main downside of the game is the UI. It's rather unintuitive and has too many slow animations. It takes a while to get the hang of where everything is on the kingdom management screen. I'd have preferred something snappier and cleaner. The UI elements and art are beautiful, however. Some of the maps can be a little mazelike, and the minimap can't be zoomed out very far, making navigation frustrating in certain areas. I recommend this game to people who like tactical RPGs (XCOM, Battle Brothers) and who want to follow a linear story.

A very entertaining game , Turned Base fighting gameplay that is diferent in a positive way from the clasical turn-Base . Here everythink it's about AP points you can move, attack and move again , or you can attack 2 times in the same round or use more then one skill in the same raound , and then is the overwatch funsction that allows you to attack a target that gets close to you , like a retaliation but before you get attacked , you can save an amount of AP points for the next round if you are not in range or you just wanna wait fro the right time . Overall a solid strategy game ! I will post the entire game on my YouTube channel if you are interested, pretty soon !
