About King Arthur: Knight's Tale
Lead Mordred and his band of knights through dark Arthurian battlefields, commanding tactical turn-based combat while managing hero loyalty, injuries, and moral choices that reshape your kingdom and story. Your decisions across a morality chart determine how your legend unfolds, with roguelite consequences ensuring no two playthroughs are alike.
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..

A Role-playing Tactical Game
Experience a unique hybrid between turn-based tactical games and traditional, character-centric RPGs! This dark fantasy version of the Arthurian mythology invites you to manage a team of heroes on the dangerous battlefield, while also engaging in moral choices, hero management, and the rebuilding of Camelot.

The dark fate of the kingdom
Explore a land of nightmares where vile monsters and magical creatures lurk within castles and forests. The battle between Arthur and Mordred brought death, both of them falling at the hands of each other, and now the consequences unfold. Arthur, resurrected in Avalon, is now an undying mad king, his pain slowly turning this magical place into a nightmare version of Britannia. You are Mordred, brought back to life to find Arthur, and ultimately, kill him to end this accursed condition.

The Round Table reborn
Gather your knights and send them on quests involving deep, tactical battles! Assemble a team of heroes, selecting from six classes (Defender, Champion, Marksman, Vanguard, Arcanist, Sage). Level them up, gain unique skill points, equip the best items looted from missions. But beware! Heroes can die, and the treatment of their injuries, curses, diseases take time. Between missions, make sure that Camelot has the right facilities for recovery, and prepare different heroes for different quests.

A question of loyalty
Heroes are your main resources – but no mere numbers! They have their own distinct personalities, goals, rivalries (even unique traits, skills and bond benefits). They will observe your decisions closely! Settle disputes, grant favours, select heroes who can work together, send them on missions they are comfortable with. Tread carefully, because their loyalty depends on many factors. They can even leave and turn against you!

The making of a monarch
You, as a king, have a personality as well, shaped by your actions and moral choices. The Morality Chart will represent your status between Christianity and Old Faith, between Tyranny and Righteousness. Your choices affect values on this chart, influencing both gameplay and narrative.

The weight of decisions
Knight's Tale offers four different difficulty modes, from laid-back storytelling to the most grueling battles Avalon has ever seen. Those looking for even more challenge can also try Roguelite Mode. Here, every small decision matters – not only the moral choices, but actions taken in the turn-based combat as well. The campaign unfolds with a roguelite twist: no reloads, only regrets! The thrill of dealing with the consequences is half the fun, but your decisions also affect the story. Each playthrough can unfold differently, branching in unexpected ways.

The end is only the beginning
Play through the campaign (once or see multiple paths), and after that, you unlock the endgame, reserved only for the bravest. Tough new challenges appear on the map with mythic bossfights, random quests, more loot and character progression ultimately leading to the banishing of Balor, the monstrous god-king of the Fomorians.

At release, King Arthur: Knight's Tale will be available with English voice acting, with English, German, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Russian, Chinese, Hungarian text localization. We may add other languages later.

A fun game that has a lot of good things going for it. Unfortunately, it doesn't respect your time. Around Act III the fights have so many opponents that they take forever. They are not hard just boring.1 found this helpful
Too repetitive. I don't feel like finishing it.1 found this helpful
+ Nice and dark setting + Fun turnbased combat + Some basebuilding + Mordred voice - Game does not let you experiment, time is a resource - Worldbuilding was good, but story in the end kinda weak My enjoyment: 8/10 Even with all the flaws, I had a good time
After level 22-24 the difficulty optimization is pretty bad.. i did Enjoy their Roman, Legion game, so figured to give this game a try. Has all the famous folk-lore, real knights and their stories. Very tactical based. Many times was stuck on Hard (and moderate) difficulty because didn't know the best party for certain mission, so don't feel bad lowering difficulty to Medium/Moderate for most of the game - and even Story when you feel the mission is just not doable after 1-3 tries. I felt their 2nd game was better optimized towards the end, as i finished it on hard and had to lower difficulty only once.. In this game, probably wasted 10+ hours just replaying the missions.. From hardstuck enemies outside the range of the combat zone (soft-lock), to almost impossible fights if you took the wrong knight.. If you strive for completionist on Medium-Hard (hard being the "intended way"), might take you 80-120 hours on average, so if you see this game on discount, like king arthur lore or fantasy turn based combat - worth it on discount.
good rpg turn base
Recommended (16 hours played) It's been years since a game grabbed me this hard. I sat down and completely lost track of time — 16 hours just disappeared while I was fully concentrated. King Arthur: Knight's Tale is a fantastic dark take on the Arthurian legend. The turn-based combat is excellent and surprisingly deep. I really appreciated the tactical layers — careful positioning and facing, the armor/vitality system where armor absorbs hits until it breaks, and planning defenses against backstabs and flanking. It all makes the fights feel satisfying and strategic, especially with a strong frontline of armored knights that can actually tank and push forward. What really hooked me is the Camelot management. You get a solid roster of companions you can send for training or medical treatment while you're out questing. The loyalty quests, law-making, and financial decisions give real weight to running the kingdom. On top of that, the moral choices are meaningful — they shape the story, your companions, and the skills you unlock in this grim, dark version of Avalon. If you enjoy tactical RPGs with strong base/kingdom management and a mature, dark story, this one is highly recommend…
