King Arthur Knight's Tale | Turn Based Tactics CRPG

[Hozz 1035]

Turn based tactics CRPG-lite set in an Arthurian setting.  Not a lot of games like this one, closest comp that I've played is Blackguards but not a lot of people have played that one.

You play as Mordred resurrected to kill Arthur, who is also dead.  You killed each other and bad shit happened, undead invasion, etc. etc.  You manage Camelot and the Knights of the Round Table.  You upgrade various buildings in your keep for different bonuses.  You can recruit a bunch of different knights but can only have a max of 12 in your roster, 4 on your bench and 4 in your party during a mission though a lot of missions have NPCs join you that you can control.  There is an alignment system that has two axis, christian/old faith and rightful/tyrant.  You are rewarded for piling on any of those four directions with Camelot perks and/or unlockable missions to recruit new knights alignment specific knights who are often very powerful.

Loot is slot based but you never loot new weapons and armor, rather you get runes to add to your weapons and armor that give various perks.  You also have a couple of accessory slots per knight restricted by class and a couple of consumable slots.  Once you gear up your kit is locked in for the duration of whatever mission you are on.  There are 6 classes but no two knights are the same as they have their own alignments, traits and skills that are based on their class but a little different depending on knight.  The closer your alignment aligns with your knights the more effective they are in combat.

Combat is pretty fun although enemy types are fairly limited.  Four difficulty levels...normal is a little too easy hard is fine for the most part but maybe 1 in 10 missions is super fucking hard compared to the rest of them so it can be annoying on hard.  Have not played story/easy or very hard.

Graphics are little dingy, and the performance is poor for what's on screen.  Devs are very active on the Steam forums and if you find a bug you can send them your autosaves and they will fix said bug if they can reproduce it.  They also have some free DLC planned.

Base game is 50-60 hours, allegedly, I am about half way through.

If you like turn based CRPGs this is probably worth a look.  If you like King Arthur mythos (I'm not super informed on it beyond the film Excalibur and the Bernard Cornwell books), also probably worth checking out.  The studio's previous work is an ARPG set in WH40K called Inquisitor Martyr.
