Amazing game that needs a remaster. Impossible to play on modern systems

A deep and challenging strategy roleplaying game, King Arthur: The Role-Playing Wargame pulled me into it like its Total War cousins never could. The story is engaging, the combat is exciting and fun, and the art direction really brings the Arthurian Legend to life. As a huge fan of the legend itself, this game is finally a piece of modern media that does it justice. The story is a unique retelling of the Arthurian Legend. There are many core pieces that make up the tales and this game ties those pieces together in a way that is both familiar and new. However, the narrative is solid enough on its own that even if you don't know the legends it will keep you hooked and pushing to see what happens next. Interestingly enough, there is a significant amount of choice and an alignment system for Arthur and his Knights as well. Are you a benevolent Christian king? The Crusaders, Golden Gryphons, and Sangreal Knights will swear their services to you to crush your wicked foes. By following this path, you'll also acquire Sir Lancelot (who needs no introduction) to sit at your Round Table and battle your foes. Are you an unrelenting and brutal tyrant? Good luck convincing Lancelot to stick around for your cruel deeds but at least you'll get your hands on Sir Mordred who could stand toe to toe with him any day. The Wasteland Warriors and Raven Guard will back him up. Are you a faithful in the Old Gods? In that case, say goodbye to the crusaders and epic knights but hello to Merlin and an assortment of mythological creatures including the Seelie and/or Unseelie Courts of the Fey. As you make your choices throughout the story you will change your position on the chart that represents your alignment (Rightful <-> Tyrant & Christian <-> Old Faith) unlocking all kinds of units, spells, and other perks along the way. The combat is similar to the Total War series but with the addition of hero characters and powerful magical spells. Your units have varying strengths and weaknesses that play off of each other and there are a great number of options in how you build your armies especially when factoring in the unlocked units from the research and morality systems. Terrains plays a huge part as it can offer a significant number of advantages or disadvantages to the varying unit types. Your Knights of the Round Table, on the other hand, are even more customizable. They frequently level up and each time they do they get to choose both an attribute to improve and a skill to learn or improve. These skills range from improving their governing capabilities of their fiefs for increased kingdom benefit to boosting nearby allies troops in combat with their tactical leadership to summoning a horrific cloud of plague and death to the battlefield. You can pick and choose which knights you want seated at your table but good luck trying to keep the loyalty of those who are opposed to your morality. By the end of the game I had filled the table with a dozen knights who all had been built and specialized in a way that they each had a unique and valuable role in the kingdom. There are many additional minor mechanics to the game but this review has covered the larger points. King Arthur: The Role-Playing Wargame has a lot of depth and you really come to appreciate it as the game progresses adding more and more mechanics along the way. I very strongly recommend this game to anyone who enjoys kingdom management and battle strategy similar to Total War but with an Arthurian Legend twist. If you're even kind of on the fence about this, pick it up! You won't be disappointed.

This game is a flawed gem. Great visuals, atmosphere, story, sounds and music but it can get a bit difficult at places, and can suffer from the odd bug. But beyond that its a refreshing mix of a RPG and RTS, which immerses you with its quests. Give this game a go if you're an RTS fan who likes RPGs. However I recommend this game with its DLC, over its sequel.

i really enjoyed this game and it was quite entertaining as well as difficult. i think the most annoying thing to me and this is very important to anyone who plays this game SAVE OFTEN. there is a very critical bug in the game if you have played for long periods of time the game can crash on you and you lose everything. it will piss you off. how can you play a game if it crashes often. it gets pretty frustrating. so other then that i enjoyed it. sure there was some nasty things like spells and some units that would just flog the crap out of you. nastiest armies i encountered were undead. they really destroy whatever armies you send their way.

This game was recommended to me by Angry Joe, I checked out his review and was instantly interested into playing this. I love Total war to death (you can see I played shogun 2 for like 300+ hours) but I also love RPG’s like Dragon Age, Final Fantasy, and Skyrim, this was a very ambitious move on Neocore games and it very well paid off. Let me just go over the pros and cons Pros: + The Knights of the Round: Your Knights are basicly the generals from Total war only they are supped up can kick but and take names, much like an actual RPG character they level up, learn new skills, go on quests, and gain weapons and armor, Plus who always wanted their general to wipe out an entire platoon by firing a lightning bolt. + Total War Mythology!?: Unlike in Total war this game features Creatures and monsters from various celtic mythos both evil and good….perhaps a new Age of Mythology is in order? + RPG Quests: On the map you will encounter various RPG Text style quests that your knights can go on, to gain EXP, Units, Abilities, and so on, these are key to continue the story and earn better stuff as you conquer Britannia. + Moral Alignment in Many Areas: Besides the Obvious Good and Evil (Righteous and Tyrant) there is also a Religious Alignment where you can either be a good Christian or continue the Old Ways, All Alignments have various benefits and you can go many ways like Tyrannical Christian or Righteous Old Ways ect. +Plays like Total war: If you love Total War it’s a very close replica of Total war, Granted it dose have a few flaws. + Legendary Weapons and Armor: Collect Various Weapons and Armor to Deck out your Knights to make them more Lethal. Cons: - Your King Arthur…..and you don’t play as him??: Yeah despite you being King Arthur and having Excalibur “The Most Powerful Weapon in Britannia” You can’t actually use him in combat at all….or anything really…You can’t participate in Quests, or Join a Battle…Or Use Excalibur - Can’t Get the TRUE Knights of the Round: I’m abit of a historic nut but I have to place this as a con, If your trying to do a play by play of the Actual Arturian Legend your SOL because of the Morality system a lot of the Classic Knights of the Round you cannot obtain, In my Case I was a Righteous Old Faith King sooo I couldn’t get Gawain or Gallahad because I wasn’t a Tyrant or a Christian - Time Limit!?!?: Surprisingly there is a Time limit in the game by how many turns you can use, at a certain point in the game you will be unable to complete any more quests due to a event, hell you’ll skip several chapters if your too slow - Broken A.I: You HAVE to play this game on Easy, on Normal or Hard the A.I Breaks the game by producing units faster than you can and doing cheap tactics - Auto Battle Whats That??: The Auto Battle is useless, forcing you to play every single battle! - Reading…Zzzz: If you don’t like Reading your gonna fall asleep on some of the Quests - Chapter Jumping: Your going to be jumping chapters like Crazy after Chapter 1, I haven’t even finished a quest for Chapter 2 and I already get Quests for Chapters 3 and 4 - Mythos Units OP: If you don’t have any Mythos Units your soldiers are going to get their buts kicked, Even the Lowest Teir Mythos Units can Own your Highest Teir Soldiers (Thus making you WANT to play Old Faith 80% of the time) In the End though Despite my Cons its still a Solid Game Regardless it just needs some fine tuning here and there, If most of these Cons are Fixed in Future Titles then King Arthur can be a Legend, but for now it’s a Ambitious Title that Works but could use some Improvements Score: C-
