King Arthur: Knight's Tale

This is a pretty fun game if you like King Arthur mythology. The tactical combat is mostly just alright and the voice acting/writing can be a bit awkward, but it's still fun to build a party of knights from Arthurian myth.

Developers take on grimdark isn't entirely convincing and they also assume you have previous knowledge of Arthurian legends... but the core of the game, the tactical system itself? Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy, that's a pure gold.

Nothing short of brilliant. This is what I was hoping Baldur's Gate 3 was. About survival and can we make it. I label this as a cross between Diablo/Wasteland/Excalibur. Very good if you are older and don't want to worry about how fast you can click the button.

Геймплейно игра представляет из себя боевку из батлброзерс на которую натянули скучный сюжет. Игра очень сильно однообразная и душная. Оформление менюшек отвратительное. Окна налазят друг на друга и некоторые места становятся нечетаемые. Решение заменить броню и оружие на руны звучит бюджетно но портит восприятие прогресса персонажа.

Overall good tactics game. The inbetween missions items are not very deep (city building, events), but do add to okay decision making. The fighting is good. I found it challenging initially on hard, then get a bit easy. Going up to very hard does seem to good spot if wanting to get the most out of the games systems. Voice acting is all over the place.

为什么每次我想体验亚瑟王的传说，都是黑暗风！落魄的阿瓦隆，消失的亚瑟王。。。这款依旧是。刚体验了阿瓦隆的陨落，杀了亚瑟。这回又是找到他。。。 游戏本身战棋类，战斗细节尚可，画面很黑暗哥特风，配乐也很哥特金属。总体体验不错，不能要求太高，毕竟战棋就是小众游戏，所以我支持！也希望这些中型工作室加油坚持住！多出一些不大众的游戏~

Mordred uses a spear in the cutscene, just like in the excalibur movie, in the game he uses a sword and shield and that cannot be changed. He is right handed in the cutscene but left handed in the game, in fact everyone except for the 2-handed weapon wielders seems to be left handed.( this is not game breaking but is annoying). I get the feeling they screwed up something in the coding that mirrored everyones stance and were just like, ahhh screw it.... this may be a plus to you if you are left handed yourself or want to play a left handed hero though to be fair. By itself it would not have bothered me much but with the other annoyances it started to grate on me, also i just feel like it should be mentioned weather you care or not. The minimap and regular map is god awful, there is no compass and it is difficult to tell which direction you are facing. Instead of being interesting exploration is just a chore, hug the left or right wall if you don't want to get lost... but you will constantly run into invisible walls anyways that you have to go around. Some paths that look like you can traverse you just can't for inexplicable reasons. This game would have been better if they just didn't add this aspect at all, it can look nice but that's about it.. it just wastes your time. Also it seems like entering some battles just changes whatever camera angle and orientation you were just using for exploration.. so you had "some idea" of where you were and where you were going but now you do not. Because of the lack of a compass I found myself never wanting to change the camera angle to look around, even though it would be a lot easier to open that door or target some enemy if I turned it. Itemization for a turn based strategy is terrible, you equip runes like some kind of korean mmo. Most of these runes are not very interesting. Your character models never change ( not even just the weapon you are holding).. it is super low effort. There are skill trees but 2/3 of it is locked and blank until points are spent, you cannot plan ahead for what you want to build.( although it does look like you can pay gold to respec later on). Enemies have extra blue / orange health bars and you are never told why. Some of them just come back to life with another health bar. Your armor value gives you damage mitigation but attacks "randomly"( randomly as in percent chance any time you are attacked) strip it off you and that's permanent until you fix it at a campfire or finish the mission. Some reviews mentioned there is no RNG but that is pretty RNG. The difference between taking 7 damage per hit or 14 damage per hit is pretty substantial when you have 40 health, and are outnumbered 4 to 1 or worse. Each map has consecutive battles so this can matter a lot if you get your armor stripped immediately on your "tank". Seems like anytime you take vitality damage you can sustain permanent injuries randomly, healing at the hospice ( which requires you to leave that character there instead of in your party for X number of missions ) didn't remove them. Every fight after the first mission is your 4 guys vs 20 or so enemies, I can only assume this will get even worse... everyone has attacks of opportunity so you cant really move around to handle threats like archers and mages without extra punishment for it. Ranged enemies also seem to focus your ranged party members if they are able, and they outnumber you, and your ranged units have very low health. This is fairly normal for the genre but it just feels extra punishing here, not unbeatably punishing just annoying, possibly because you have no healer characters and can only rely on potions to heal of which you can only equip 2 on a character for the entire mission, which may consist of 6 consecutive battles. The different classes did not seem interesting, but I only played this for 4 hours. I should note you never get to choose these classes, not even for your main character, they just are what they are. Besides the static character models that can't even change their weapons the graphics are decent, the story also seems interesting but the gameplay is making me just not care. It kind of feels like it's worth the $13 on sale price but just barely, and for me personally I am going to try to get a refund, it's too headache inducing for what it is. For the price seriously just buy rogue trader instead if you are looking for a decent turn based strategy game. I expected better considering their normal asking price of $45.
