  • Summary: A unique hybrid between turn-based tactical games and traditional, character-centric RPGs. Knight's Tale is a modern retelling of a classic Arthurian mythology story filtered through the dark fantasy tropes, a twist on the traditional tales of chivalry.

    King Arthur: Knight’s Tale could easily be considered the definitive King Arthur game and likely among the greatest modern media on the subject, especially since there’s little competition. It’s also a top-notch tactical RPG with an unexpectedly compelling story. The gameplay is solid on all levels, especially if you’re looking for a tactical challenge and love using fancy abilities in battle. My playthrough of King Arthur: Knight’s Tale alone took over 50 hours, so there’s plenty to keep you busy, but you can expect even more bloody adventures to come. The king is dead; long live the (new?) king!

    King Arthur: Knight’s Tale boasts a deep and engaging combat system that is as rewarding as it is ruthless. A worthwhile adventure into Arthurian Legend, it’s a fantastic entry into the tactical RPG space that unfortunately begins to suffer with technical issues as the story unfolds. As many of the cutscenes tell you, it’s a work in progress.

    A grimdark take on King Arthur's saga that is a pleasant surprise for tactical RPG lovers.

    King Arthur is a stylish tactical RPG with a different view of a famous legend. It has some unique elements, but also shortcomings. A charm that gradually weakens and fades.

    Playing the NeocoreGames title, we had mixed feelings. If from a tactical and managerial point of view the product can offer a demanding challenge even for the most demanding players, some choices in the game mechanics appear not entirely in focus. The technical care for every aspect is evident from the very first minutes and the ambitions of the development team in wanting to create an epic story of battles and magic make King Arthur: Knight's Tale a work of great aspirations. We cannot help but notice how these go in more than one circumstance to shatter against a lack of variety in some respects. In any case, the possibility of developing a plot full of characters and events in several ways gives the title a fair amount of replayability and content, which will satisfy fans of the genre.

    King Arthur: Knight’s Tale scrapes a pass with its decent tactical combat. If it doesn’t improve on its art and spelling, however, it’ll need to see me in my office.

    King Arthur: Knight's Tale es sin duda un buen juego. La historia, que empieza después de la muerte de Mordred en la batalla de Camlann estáKing Arthur: Knight's Tale es sin duda un buen juego. La historia, que empieza después de la muerte de Mordred en la batalla de Camlann está relativamente bien llevada y tiene sus cosas interesantes, aunque no llega a ser memorable. La gestión del castillo en cambio, y de los caballeros en descanso, tiene mucha más enjundia ya que los recursos son escasos y es importante qué cosas priorizas. Pero obviamente, lo mejor son las batallas, ya que el juego tiene numerosos mapas con distintas situaciones y diferentes condiciones de victoria (aunque la más frecuente es matar a todo). La variedad de enemigos es alta y se van revelando a medida que distintas facciones se unen al combate, requiriendo distintas estrategias y haciendo que el juego tenga cosas nuevas que enseñar a medida que avanzas. Y los heroes están muy bien, con suficiente cantidad de clases que funcionan realmente distintas y además, incluso dentro de cada clase, cada uno de los personajes tiene sus propias habilidades diferentes (aunque a mi me parece que solo poder tener 12 es una pena, ya que hace que muchos personajes nunca llegues a probarlos). Un sistema simplón de moralidad para desbloquear algunas cosas según vamos tomando decisiones y un buen sistema de progresión de los personajes a medida que suben de nivel y por las distintas piezas de equipo que les puedes conseguir.

    Gráficamente el juego está bastante bien aunque no es revolucionario. Lo mismo ocurre con el sonido, que cumple muy adecuadamente pero no es memorable. Eso si, al menos en mi experiencia no he encontrado casi ningún bug (solo una salida a escritorio ya en el contenido nuevo que, como suele pasar, estará menos pulido) pero si que hay algunos puntos donde el juego tiene picos importantes de dificultad.

    Por todo ello, sin duda King Arthur: Knight's Tale es un juego muy recomendable. Un 8.    … Expand
