If you buy it on sale, then I would say completely worth it. Otherwise, this game just feels rushed and unfinished. If you buy this and King Arthur: Knight's Tale, play this one first You won't miss anything storywise and you'll be less disappointed. After you finish the main quests, it continues to endgame where it's just you doing missions killing mobs till the end mission. There's no more story parts except in the mission description. Not even some dialogue when facing the last big boss. Not to mention this should have just been a standalone DLC for KA:KT. Heck almost 80% of the asset files are of KA:KT. You have just about 30GB of copy paste. (Not kidding) If you jump right into this after finishing KA:KT, you're going to be disappointed. Well after the opening cutscene, you're going to be disappointed (because that was awesome). The voice acting isn't horrible but definitely not great compared to Mordred and the Lady in KA:KT. Gameplay seems to have been made easier. No injuries, your heroes resurrect after battle, take all heroes into battle with you, no events except ones specifically involving the other heroes (ie no sending out heroes and them being unavailable for x amount of time), only Humanity/Demonic choices. Overall, it was okay. I'm recommending it because if you get it on sale ($7 at this time), it's very much worth it. I bought it right when it came out and had planned to play it after KA:KT. I am curious on how the Demonic story goes so I might run through that another time.

First of all, let me start by saying that this is a good game which does quite a lot of things very well. I don’t regret buying it. I am happy to have it in my library. Yet, unfortunately, it has a few cardinal sins that personally are dealbreakers for me. And because of that, I won’t finish it. Let me also add that I haven’t played the Camelot prequel to this game. At first glance, it looked pretty similar to Expeditions Rome. Which I liked very much. Combat, storytelling, gameplay, in all aspects. The story is interesting enough, a lost Roman legion ordered to find an escape from hell ends up in some sort of purgatory land in between the two worlds. The main 3 characters are very well drawn out, they are easy to grow fond of despite the fact that they’re ugly-as-hell skeleton warriors from, well, hell. The first missions were promising where I was trying to figure out the game&combat mechanics. Then, just as I thought I had a grasp of the game, the overworld map came up. I was looking at my possibilities. I kept looking. For a while. Until I was convinced that it was not my dumb ass missing anything, but the whole game was a strictly linear, scripted theme park ride. Zero chance to swerve away. None. OK, not all games need to be open world. I’m not expecting Fallout- or Avernum- or Underrail-style unnerving sense of deadly freedom from all games. That’d be unfair. But let me at least roam around a bit to freely get my ass kicked in the wrong times&places. Instead, it turned out to be a RPG-lite very much like Mutant Year Zero and Miasma Chronicles where the whole game is a scripted series of mini maps in which exploration is just a formality, a dull matter of not stepping on the wrong tile (the dangerous, combat-initiating tiles are marked red anyway) until you clear the fog and “discover” your 3 options: Frontal attack (wrong option), the weak spot (correct option) and sometimes a third more adventurous opening. Some battles have no optional approach, you just have to take them head-on. The maps are designed to give you a couple of different paths to the final objective. Well, there you have it, a choice to make. There’s no inventory. Well, there’s one, but you can’t access it during missions. That’s… an unfortunate game design decision in my book. Undead legionaries cracking jokes while swinging blades and spells in a fantasy land, but they’re unable to exchange a few items and potions between them. You can’t use any of your abilities outside combat. Why? I don’t know. Speaking of choices, they’re mostly confined to your character builds and base building department of the game. Paying 500 gold for a merchant upgrade to buy cheaper potions, wow, that’s what I call exciting RPG decision making. Let me repeat, characters and skills are quite well done. To the point that they really made me want to play on, until complete linearity choked my will to live. I think the mutated duck game is based on a table top game, so that would explain its limitations. But why follow such an example… I guess there’s a considerable gamer segment who like RPG-lites. The game is very nice in some aspects, leading undead legionaries is really cool, and I wish the developers well, but know before buying that in my book, this is not a CRPG, or even an RPG for that matter. Peace.

The gameplay is great, but just like the original King Arthur, the difficulty spikes are nightmarish. Work up to play the game on hard, or very hard, then hit the endgame and it is impossible. Be ready, bc if you have a few hundred hours in King Arthur, normal will be too easy, but then the jump to hard or very hard will have a few fights which seem impossible despite just crushing it on normal or hard.

It's more King Arthur, what can I say? To be honest, if you liked the first game and want some more stories set in that world, you'll probs get some enjoyment out of this. The below is for people who already played King Arthur: Knight's Tale. If you haven't played that game, you should play that one first. This is essentially a stripped down version of the first game (cheaper too, so doesn't bother me much). - The voice acting budget went out the window on this one, going from Mordred to this guy is painful. - Way smaller morality system (only good/evil). - 6 Characters only. - Less powers overall, but to be honest, they added a lot of new ones into these characters, which made some things feel fresh. - Different city to upgrade, albeit much less upgrades compared to before. -No HP system (only Vitality) and characters revive at the end of each encounter if they died. If you liked the first game, I do think it's worth picking up. If you're in no rush, wait for a sale.

Short version: Is it as good as the first game? No. Is it still enjoyable? Yes. The long version: as many others have mentioned here, Legion IX seems like a step backwards from Knight's Tale. A large amount of mechanics have been removed, the writing and voice acting are noticeably worse, and almost all the maps are copy-pasted from the first game. It might be best to think of this game as a DLC or very extensive mod. If you felt that the first game was too complicated, then this was made for you. If not, then you might be somewhat annoyed by the dumbing-down of the mechanics here. Positives and new mechanics: -Each character has unique abilities with no overlap. -Added the Larium, which applies significant modifiers to game mechanics. -The character that wields a two-handed weapon no longer feels so immobile as to be useless. -The "archer" has much better damage output and is now actually competitive. Overall, classes feel much more balanced. Negatives and removed mechanics: -No more roster management. Most missions are played with the same 5 characters. Some missions have a 6th. -Gear no longer has levels. An item gained in the first 5 missions could still be viable in the final mission. Instead, you can invest resources to upgrade a weapon or armor piece once. -Maximum character level is reduced to 18. -HP is no longer a major mechanic. It's now just armor and vitality, unless you use an ability for temporary HP. -No more lasting injuries or resting between missions. -The morality chart is now a morality line. Just plain good and evil.
