Summary
King Arthur: Knights Tale mixes an XCOM-style turn-based battle system with traditional RPG mechanics, including character development, choices that impact the direction of your campaign, and upgrading your home base of Camelot.
The story follows Sir Mordred, who travels with a band of knights across Avalon in search of King Arthur. This is already an interesting twist on the classic legend, as Sir Mordred is King Arthur's nemesis, traditionally shown as the king's traitorous nephew.
In this version of the tale, Mordred has actually mortally wounded Arthur, and is now stalking him through the isle of Avalon to finish the job on command of The Lady of the Lake.
Storyline
You are Sir Mordred, the nemesis of King Arthur, the former black knight of the grim tales. You killed King Arthur, but with his dying breath, he struck you down. You both died – and yet, you both live.
The Lady of the Lake, the ruler of the mystical island of Avalon brought you back to end a true nightmare.
She wants you to go on a knightly quest. She wants you to finish what you have begun. Kill King Arthur –
or whatever he has become after she took his dying vessel to Avalon.

This game is fun. Combat system, character progression, recruiting new ones and building your keep is pretty good. It will keep you interestedThis game is fun. Combat system, character progression, recruiting new ones and building your keep is pretty good. It will keep you interested in playing even if game became little bit repetitive after some time.
King Arthur: Knight’s Tale is basically XCOM in a fantasy setting with a melee-based combat system. Fans of this TBS subgenre will definitely have a good time. It doesn’t elevate the XCOM formula, but in the end, it doesn’t need to.
Dark Fantasy XCOM with knights. Nails the great atmosphere. No rainbows and unicorns here!This is already GOTY 2022! (Sorry Elden Ring...)
Bad game, tons of repetitive battles without insta resolve. Interesting story but the repetitiveness kills it. Watch youtube videos first andBad game, tons of repetitive battles without insta resolve. Interesting story but the repetitiveness kills it. Watch youtube videos first and either avoid or wait for a big sale.
Squad management, vigorous combat and expanding Camelot combine into a compelling dark adventure, which forces you to live with the consequences of your missteps (especially when manual saving is turned off). Weak story is an obvious letdown, but don’t let it turn you away.
