King Arthur: Knight’s Tale Review – Make Way for the New SRPG King

Here’s a fun fact. I didn’t know much about the Arthurian tales until my interest got piqued by Sonic and the Black Knight. I know, it’s a dumb way to find out about King Arthur’s adventures. I bring this up because this very interest came back as soon as I read about King Arthur: Knight’s Tale.

My expectations were already way too high when the game came close to the release date. But then I started to see some things that made me feel mixed before jumping in. For one, this is a Kickstarter-backed project. While not every game like this is bad on its own, they also tend to be middling experiences barring a few exceptions like Shovel Knight and Bloodstained, of course.

[...]

Despite a few shortcomings, King Arthur: Knight's Tale is one of the best strategy RPGs I've played. While the SRPG aspects are pretty great, this alternate take on the Arthurian Tale can keep you engaged with its characters and stories.

Pros

  • Great voice-acted cutscenes with excellent characterization
  • Tight Strategy RPG elements that make every decision count
  • Balanced difficulty options that allow for players to tailor their experience to their skill level

Cons

  • Some performance and graphical issues
  • Minor sound design problems that have certain sound effects being louder than they should be

Score: 9/10
