King Arthur: Knight’s Tale

Summary

King Arthur: Knight’s Tale is a deliciously dark and twisted take on the classic Arthurian legends we all know and love. Developed by the talented folks at NeocoreGames, this tactical RPG casts you as the infamous Mordred, the knight who killed King Arthur…only to find himself resurrected in the mystical realm of Avalon alongside his old nemesis.

The catch? Arthur has been corrupted by evil forces, forcing the Lady of the Lake to recruit you to put him down for good. What ensues is a grimdark adventure filled with turn-based battles against the warped versions of iconic characters like Lancelot, Tristan, and Gawain.

The real star here is the incredibly satisfying combat system that perfectly captures the fantasy of being a heavily armored knight cutting through hordes of foes. Positioning, flanking, and mastering each hero’s unique skills and loadouts is crucial for victory.

While the quests can get repetitive and the writing is hit-or-miss, King Arthur: Knight’s Tale shines with its enthralling premise, gorgeous visuals, and addictive tactical gameplay that lets you live out your darkest chivalric power fantasies. If you’re a fan of brutal medieval action with a side of mythological madness, this one’s not to be missed.
