King Arthur II: The Role-Playing Wargame

Mixed feelings about this game. I love the King Arthur with the high fantasy setting and the whole story rpg system which is really good, kinda reminding me of the old Warhammer Battlemarch game. On the other hand the controls including the camera and game stability is not great. The controls are cluncky as, you will get use to them but it is a bit off putting at first. The game itself is quite old and wasn't built or later systems which is why i suspect it crashes quite often. There are also bugs present everywhere showing the lack of polish this game had. The units in the game are to die for, the high fantasy look is amazing with heavy knights to giants and dragons there is suprisingly a large amount of units for a game of it's size. The magic system in the battles is pretty fun making the battles extremely hard at times. Maps are meh, there are certain areas on each of the maps that you can control for bonuses which is neat but most of the time isn't worth it. Story is alright nothing really special to be said about it. If you like total war like RTS you might find this enjoyable if you can put up with it's age. Otherwise I would not bother.

King Arthur II: The Role-Playing Wargame is a fantasy strategy RPG developed by NeocoreGames and published by Paradox Interactive. Expanding on the ideas introduced in its predecessor, the game delivers a darker and more ambitious interpretation of Arthurian legend by combining kingdom management, real-time tactical warfare, and role-playing progression into a single experience. Rather than presenting the familiar tale of Camelot's glory, it explores the aftermath of King Arthur's downfall, creating a world where hope has faded and ancient evils threaten to consume Britannia. The result is a campaign driven as much by storytelling and atmosphere as it is by military conquest, giving players a strategic adventure that feels unique among fantasy war games. The narrative follows William Pendragon, the son of the legendary King Arthur, who must restore order to a shattered kingdom while confronting supernatural forces that have spread across the land. The campaign unfolds through a series of quests, political conflicts, and mysterious encounters that constantly push the story forward. Instead of relying solely on historical warfare, the game embraces mythical creatures, magical curses…

Performance Issues. Crazy slow fps. I did not actually play this game.

There are much better RTS games out there.
