About King Arthur: Fallen Champions
The great King Arthur has crushed his adversaries in the South but the realm of the Once and Future King still has its limit. The lands beyond the Forest of Bedegraine are wild, ruled by no one, haunted by the old gods who fought and bled here in times long past. Fallen Champions bridges the gap between King Arthur I and II with a tale of three brave souls. Sir Lionel, a brave knight from Britannia on a quest to rescue a damsel in distress. Lady Corrigan of the Sidhe, a creature of the twilight seeking the secret pathways that could lead her back to her lost home of Tir na nÓg. The third is Drest the Chosen, a shaman of the North, driven by visions of greatness and voices in the night. A knight, an enchantress, and a prophet - these three will become champions of a forgotten battle that began long, long ago.
The gameplay relies on a story-based, mission-to-mission plot. Players will choose missions and upgrade heroes. The Fallen Champions Campaign Map covers one specific region of Britannia, where players command three very different heroes. Each hero has his own storyline and each of these story lines incorporates three battles, adding up to a total of nine skirmishes plus the confrontation with the major foe in the 10th battle.
The battle maps are very diverse both in visuals and in construction: some tactical-RPG situations (with a limited number of elite units and heroes), tactical battles (with huge armies on the field) and massive battles against a general AI under very unusual circumstances.

✦ AI summary
Players appreciate the game's storyline and its blend of strategy and RPG elements, with some finding it a solid RTS experience worth playing. However, the game is hampered by frequent crashes, concerns about the developer's practice of revoking game keys years after purchase, and criticism that it feels like an incomplete Total War imitation rather than a true RTS or compelling hybrid.
[h1][i]““All life is an experiment. The more experiments you make the better.”[/i] ~Ralph Waldo Emerson[/h1] Do you, guys, like pro wrestling? Weird question to start a review of a fantasy strategy / RPG hybrid, but just bear with me, it'll make sense. In every wrestler's life there's that moment when they want to get signed by a big promotion and work really hard to achieve that. For [b]NeocoreGames[/b] it was the [b]King Arthur[/b] game that marked such a period. They really, like [i]really[/i] wanted to make that epic game that, aside from the [b]Braveheart[/b] / [b]Total War[/b] strategy part, included an RPG element. They even made a whole separate game called [b]Crusaders: Thy Kingdom Come[/b] just to convince [b]Paradox[/b] that they had all the right skills. And since they weren't lying ([b]Neocore[/b] are pretty talented devs), well, they've got signed. Which brings us back to my pro wrestling analogy. [b]Paradox[/b] signed [b]Neocore[/b]. With a five-year exclusivity period and sequels/expansions being greenlighted. And almost exactly like with those wrestlers, [b]Neocore[/b] found themselves in a “what now” situation. Like, their “indie” times were over. They were work…2 found this helpful
NeocoreGames has a disgusting habit of recalling keys for their games 2-3 years after they were sold. This is unacceptable behavior! ------------------------------------------- У NeocoreGames есть отвратительная привычка отзывать ключи к своим играм через 2-3 года после продажи. Это неприемлемое поведение!
[h1]I am sure it is good[/h1] I am sure the game is good, but sadly it keeps crashing for me. :(
Good RTS game, but not really more than that. I still recommend the game, just for the storyline.
Its a bad TotalWar clone and NOT a proper RTS...
