This expansion is not a representative of what King Arthur: The Roleplaying Wargame 1 or 2 is like. The only thing that is accurately represented would be the choose-your-own-adventure style visual novel which are pretty spot on. with the choices you make directly influencing the units you will have in the battle at end. The consequences of your actions are not always clear either. forcing you at times to carefully …

Really wish this game was better made. Bugs haunt the game and make it tottaly frustating to play. The game is pretty good as a Total War Game wich makes me want it fixed!!!

Pretty disappointing attempt at a traditional RPG using the King Arthur: the Roleplaying Wargame as a source. The original game and all its expansions are fantastic, but this standalone has such terrible gameplay that it's essentially unplayable. Don't buy it unless you're getting it automatically as part of a King Arthur bundle--in which case, play all of the others and don't even install this one.

BUYER BEWARE! Please do not buy this title. It is rigged with crashes, glitches, Runtime Errors, and bugs. I played the first portion of the campaign (Sir Lionel) and it crashed on the last mission. Restarted it, finished it. Went to the next campaign... start glitching with color flickering, couldn't control units, odd things that should not have happened compared to the RPG version of King Arthur. I'm not sure …

NO save feature during a scenario, and the scenarios aren't short. Bad combination. Gameplay not that interesting,

neutral · AI labelView post →Greg Stafford's King Arthur Pendragon is an Arthurian fantasy role-playing game. Like the tales themselves, the setting is a mish-mash of elements drawn from widely separated eras. If you're looking for historical authenticity, a body of work assembled over centuries by writers
neutral · AI labelView post →If you liked the original King Arthur, you'll probably like this. If you didn't, there still may be some differences you may enjoy. Fallen Champions is a linear expansion to the original King Arhur in which you take control of 3 different heroes and their armies and follow their stories in what is essentially a story-based prequel to the events of King Arthur 2. This game uses the exact same engine as the original game and the combat and CYOA book sections play out the exact same, albeit the…

Maybe it is a small percentage compared to the total amount of text in the game, but it is a LARGE chunk of text. (Incidentally, it is the length of the bonus novelette I wrote for King Arthur: Knight's Tale)

Ossedei is literally a video game world, and Arzhur is an obvious knock off of King Arthur, but with a story closer to Alexander the Great and Charlemange.
