King Arthur: Knight's Tale

There is no option to disable depth of field

Overall not bad, but i have to pass cause for some reason, you are completely unable to see what upgrades and gears your heroes have during a campaign. Like thats a huge fking red flag, this is a strategy game and there's no fking way I can even know what my heroes are capable of, sure i still can manage since its early and my heroes have only 1 or 2 things to remember, but what bout further down the game? I'm supposed to memorize all of the 7,8 different power ups for all my heroes?

I played about 20-30 hrs before restarting once i understood the game dynamics. Almost done a full playthrough on hardest mode. Game is enjoyable: like most turn based games you'll find that ACTION POINTS and MOVEMENT really help a lot. The special skills that the heroes have do make them different enough, but i have found sticking to the early few good enough. I probably won't play through again, but the options for team composition definitely would make it possible. Story universe good, plot ok, dialogue funny.

The good: _ Foremost Turn-based tactics with RPG mechanics (almost like Wasteland 3, Jagged Alliance 3). _ It has a good theme of exploring a more detailed and darker detailed-base of more original, medieval Arthurian literature. Thematically, this is a good break from the 2000s pop media limited to only Arthur, Merlin, Lancelot, Guinevere, Morgana le Fey and Mordred. _ Characters have personality and lore in their dialogue. The bad: _ Some characters suffer from cloned skillsets, only difference is either the trait or a few individuals getting special skills later on (see DW9 cloned movesets). _ Skills variety becomes a trap (hidden difficulty), only 3-5 is reliable and consistent throughout the game. _ Skillpoints are a scarcity and commodity. The skills itself are weak and skillpoints are mostly allocated as upgrades. _ Latest patch patched out a reliable way to power scale. Endgame adds absurd stat buffs and immunities to enemies. The Sidhe shrine doesn't make up for it, flat stat buff isn't enough _ You are limited to 4 knights on field, 12 for active roster with a few slot for aspirants (benched knights). Some missions allow you to control 6, make no mistake, this is for s…
