King Arthur: Legion IX

King Arthur: Legion IX delivers an engaging standalone tactical RPG that expands the dark fantasy universe of King Arthur: Knight's Tale through the introduction of an entirely new faction and storyline. Developed and published by NeocoreGames, the game follows Gaius Julius Mento, a tribune of the legendary Ninth Legion who is resurrected in the mystical realm of Avalon. Rather than retelling familiar Arthurian legends, the campaign explores the ambitions of a Roman commander determined to establish a new empire within a land ruled by magic, mythical creatures, and ancient curses. This fresh perspective gives the expansion its own identity while remaining faithful to the grim atmosphere and mature storytelling that define the series. The narrative is built around the Roman Legion's struggle to survive and conquer Avalon, creating a fascinating blend of Roman history and Arthurian mythology. As Gaius Julius Mento attempts to build Nova Roma, players encounter rival armies, monstrous beasts, corrupted knights, and supernatural threats that constantly challenge their progress. The story successfully balances military conquest with personal ambition, allowing players to experience a c…

The very first half hour of this game is not promising. Three figures appear on screen out of portals and begin kvetching immediately, complaining about their travels like lost old man who've gotten lost on the way to the local Golden Corral. They're dressed as Roman warriors, but their voices and words are ultra-modern and American, no Shakespearian Old English for any of these gents. Once the first fight begins and the swords start swinging, things get worse. Each attack is as weightless as if they were fighting on the moon and no blow connects with any feeling or force. Between the terrible dialogue (delivered terribly) and unengaging tactical fights, I wanted to quit almost instantly. I didn't realize while playing it, but the Crown Wars battles all excel at every detail and feel as if they take place in a real world, where you feel the heft of every crossbow as you take aim, the impact of every bolt as it lands and the grunt of every soldier hit. I only bought King Arthur: Legion IX a few hours ago (thankfully for just a scant $4 on sale) and I already feel like uninstalling it. I chose it over the first game in the series because it was newer (and cheaper) and I just …

+ More King Arthur, but with Romans!? + Less choice, less fomo + I liked the undead Roman party - Short - Endgame without a story My Enjoyment: 8/10 Was more relaxing than a Knights Tale, but too short

The game is cool, but I do like the original more.

Streamlined version of Knight's tale for those who dont have 60 hours to commit. fun game for a glorified DLC.

The lore and art style are very good ,but there are some bugs in player interactions and there some choppy cinematics. I think the first game is far most supreme. This feels like a standalone dlc .It definitely shows that you didn't have whole a lot of budget, but still the game is fun and triggered my interest . Didn't bother for the true ending against the emperor , because i knew that it was a generic grind and not even a closing ,conclusive ending cinematic :( Dont play it on higher difficulties if you value your sanity !! What are some players trying to prove or achieve by playing it on brutal or very hard is beyond me .Play it on normal , nobody gives a flying duck ,but you ! Would i recommend it ,yes but on deep discounts . Expected more to be frank !
