    Fallen Champion is a nice stand-alone digression for those who crave for King Arthur's imminent sequel and for whom are simply intrigued by this epic saga for the first time. Suggested to every gamer in search of some fresh strategy during this long summer.

    Fallen Champions has some strong AI and has a lot to offer, mainly because every mission has to be played differently. Even though you'll get through it very fast, the challenging missions will keep you coming back for more. It is however a shame that there are no checkpoints to be found during the battles.

    Fallen Champions is a short and mostly sweet compression of many of the good elements in its King Arthur predecessor.

    This real time strategy game has stupid units, bad camera and clumsy combat.

    Overall, Fallen Champions could have been good. But I've taken a look at King Arthur: The Roleplaying Wargame, and found that this really is a bit of a stopgap game, something to keep the players happy between the first and the second. But this probably won't attract any new players, because the first missions are, with the exception of Lady Corighann's, pretty tedious, the CYOA sections could have used more work, and, there are more irritations than good points.

    Neocore seems to have completely misunderstood what made King Arthur great. It's stripped out all the parts of the game that made it loveable and left a watered down, medieval Dawn of War II wannabe in its place. We just hope that Fallen Champions isn't an indication of what's to come from King Arthur 2.

    Ultimately though I found myself sat in front of my computer, scratching my unkempt beard and trying to answer the question: who is the game for?

    This is strictly a game for those who have run out of RTS games and have nothing to play until the Christmas games come out. There is probably ten bucks of gameplay in here, though.

    If you haven't played King Arthur, then you won't really enjoy this a whole lot, and if you have played it you'll just think of how much better it is than this weird expansion. I recommend that you check out the original game if you haven't played it, and if you have played it you should just wait for King Arthur 2 to come out.

    King Arthur: Fallen Champions needs what it simply won't get -- varied units, improved AI, and some more thought placed into tactics and the utility of formations. I can't speak to the rest of the series, but unless you're a diehard fan, feel free to skip this one.

  1. When I bought the expansion to King Arthur, the Roleplaying Wargame (a game I had enjoyed immensly despite its flaws) I thought it would be an extra map or something that plays similar to the original. To my dismay, they decided to make it a completely different game. Now it's linear, with way too much quest text and way too rigid scenarios. I stopped playing after a few scenarios and gave up on it, it's just not nearly as fun as the original game.

    If only they'd make an expansion that plays like the original game, just a continuation of it rather than making something completely different. Bleh!
