King Arthur: Fallen Champions Reviews

Graphics are poor, combat is overly intricate and takes a long time to master. Overall this game has a lot of cool hype in the into but thats about all that your getting.

Good RTS game, but not really more than that. I still recommend the game, just for the storyline.

If you liked the original King Arthur, you'll probably like this. Takes place in the aftermath of the rise of King Arthur. Three champions from different cultures/races are on their own quests Seems also to be a bridge of sorts between the first and second King Arthur games. Decent enough.

I just cant besides it not aging well. Also the run time errors are annoying and the game is not worth spending the time to play

Controls are bad, units don't respond well, and there are bugs (e.g. control points won't capture when there is no enemy. I love the original. This one isn't as good.

Pretty disappointing attempt at a traditional RPG using the King Arthur: the Roleplaying Wargame as a source. The original game and all its expansions are fantastic, but this standalone has such terrible gameplay that it's essentially unplayable. Don't buy it unless you're getting it automatically as part of a King Arthur bundle--in which case, play all of the others and don't even install this one.

Keep on crashing with runtime error during loading screens after the battle and since you can't save the battle, have to replay the whole scenario every time it crashes. So far no fixes to be found on the net or in the discussions.

BUYER BEWARE! Please do not buy this title. It is rigged with crashes, glitches, Runtime Errors, and bugs. I played the first portion of the campaign (Sir Lionel) and it crashed on the last mission. Restarted it, finished it. Went to the next campaign... start glitching with color flickering, couldn't control units, odd things that should not have happened compared to the RPG version of King Arthur. I'm not sure what this eye sore is, but it shows how much Neocore Games cares about their products. This isn't the only title within their inventory that has issues, but it is the worst of them. Clearly not optimized for gameplay, QA was a lie, and this game should have never hit stores. Again, please do not purchase this title.

This expansion is [b]not[/b] a representative of what King Arthur: The Roleplaying Wargame 1 or 2 is like. The only thing that is accurately represented would be the choose-your-own-adventure style visual novel which are pretty spot on. with the choices you make directly influencing the units you will have in the battle at end. The consequences of your actions are not always clear either. forcing you at times to carefully think about your decision lest you wish to redo the "novel" chapter to get the ideal end. The battles themselves play more like an Age of Empires campaign level in the sense that you progress. sometimes linearly. through a battle to complete objectives such as defending for 20 minutes or gathering forces from different parts of the battlefield to attack an enemy. The campaign map has no free-roaming and is simply select one of the three champions' storylines and begin the next mission. All in all, only get this if, like me, you love the series and are interested in what happened between King Arthur 1 and 2 (the story doesn't have anything at all to do with the legends of King Arthur, so if buy this solely because you love the King Arthur legends then this won't serve you any purpose.) For five bucks (USD 5) the game is to me a 7/10. nearly an hour of entertainement for each dollar!
