- Real-time fantasy battles: spectacular fight scenarios on grandiose battlefields, featuring thousands of soldiers and powerful heroes such as Sir Lancelot, Sir Galahad or Merlin. Battles rely on the strengths and weaknesses of the different arms with several tactical possibilities, the abilities of the units and the heroes, monsters and most of all, spells.
- Turn-based Campaign Map: Britannia is represented as a fully three dimensional topographic map where heroes move freely, conquer provinces or find adventures. In the turn-based campaign the changing seasons have effect on the gameplay and the graphics of the Campaign Map.
- Create your own legend! The saga of King Arthur is an epic tale about the conquest of Britannia through a story-based campaign. The Campaign is divided into chapters, like a chronicle, each with a unique tone and theme. The chapters all have objectives, long- and short-term goals that also fit together to draw a grandiose picture of an unfolding storyline. There are many possible events and outcomes that all influence the legend itself and determine the ending of the storyline.
- Morality Chart: Every decision in the game will influence the position of King Arthur on the Morality Chart. King Arthur might become a Christian ruler or the Follower of the Old Faith; a rightful or a ruthless monarch. These choices unlock special contents, allies, heroes, units and developments.
- RPG elements: Heroes lead the armies and learn skills, spells and abilities from an ability tree for experience points. Heroes can also use magic items or become liege lords, entrusted with the leadership of a province, which is the best way to have them indebted. Arranging their marriages with the nice damsels of Arthur’s court also raises their loyalty.
- Adventures: adventuring is the essence of King Arthur’s world. Quests pop up on the Campaign Map regularly. In technical terms it is a short story where the chosen knight has to make important decisions. Some adventures end in battles on special battlemaps.

[h1][i]“On second thought, let's not go to Camelot. It is a silly place.”[/i] ~King Arthur[/h1] What's cool about King Arthur: The Role-Playing Wargame is that it's its makers' dream project. Let's get back to the late 2000s for a moment. The initial craze that started with Braveheart (yes, it was a movie-based game that started it all; deal with it) and was popularized in the legendary Shōgun: Total War was pretty much over. It wasn't like such games stopped appearing—exactly the opposite. What I'm trying to say is that people stopped wanting “more of the same”. They wanted the next big thing. And a young Hungarian team called NeocoreGames? They believed they knew exactly what that thing should be. Yes, the title says it all. They wanted to add an RPG element. The publisher, on the other hand, was rather skeptical. I mean, we all know about how it can be with the young teams. Lots of them have a childish “And then, and then!..” way of thinking, which, with a lack of experience, can lead to a complete disaster and make a publisher lose money. Here's the thing, though: Neocore were not such people. They were young, sure, but they had their own in-house engine, they already worked …2 found this helpful
Keep crashing. heard that GOG version is better and saw a video where you can fix it. look up before buy it and stay away from steam version.1 found this helpful
Literally unplayable. Soo many bugs. Launches with only the left top corner visible, unable to change resolution. Fiddling with the game files only fixes that one sometimes; wont work for the fallen champions spinoff that suffers from the same. If you can get this game to work, bully for you and all covered in jelly over here, looks like a pretty cool total-war-like game.1 found this helpful
Great game and I love the King Arthur setting!
The game loads up, but crashes one I try to start the first battle. Not working on my windows 10 system it seems.
I didn't expect much (especially after picking it up once before) but I still got dissapointed. If someone gifts it to you, they don't like you or want to check out if you're into sado-maso... solid 50/50 It's answer to "what if TW:Warhammer and Thrones of Britannia had a kid, but it wasn't loved even by the investors, got dropped on its head thrice before getting to hospital and had worse camera controls than Flash games that had no fullscreen option". I'm deeply saddened that someone asked that question and even more so that someone else found the answer but let's not dwell too much on that. As said camera controls might be the biggest issue, but not so far behind on the list of atrocities are boring quests that you just click through terrible balance in battles and autoresolve stupid AI programmed to focus on victory points over overpowering you which leads to you just shooting down half their army before proper combat starts, if it even gets to it almost no reasonable economy and management of provinces no option to develop smaller provinces and focus only on "strongholds" which for some reason have no walls or any defences and act as another pitched battle that actually fav…
