King Arthur: Knight's Tale Reviews
King Arthur: Knight's Tale is a strategy RPG that gets the fantasy of playing as a heavily armored knight exactly right, but it would've been a better game if it didn't pad itself out with so many repetitive battles.
King Arthur: Knight's Tale is not without its charms, then, but it's not the once and future king you might have been waiting for. Maybe watch Fast and Furious instead.
Aside a few complaints here and there, King Arthur: Knight's Tale is a grim, compelling take on the legend of Camelot.
A solid tactical rpg that offers many satisfying turn-based combats and a fascinating dark fantasy re-imagining of the Arthurian myth.

King Arthur: Knight's Tale succeeds in achieving the goals that it sets for itself but I rarely felt it go above and beyond the standards that I have become accustomed to over years of tactical game experience.
King Arthur: Knight’s Tale is solid point-and-click turn-based action, but players should note that it takes some time to level up due to the lack of a mission replay feature, and a considerable amount of gold being required to enable healing for multiple party members. Diehard tactical fans might be interested in what King Arthur: Knight's Tale has to offer, but newcomers to the genre might wish to cut their teeth elsewhere.
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.
King Arthur: Knight's Tale is a great turn-based combat RPG game, with simple exploration of the scenarios but that gives rewards for doing so and uses them as part of the strategy in the missions so that the player can succeed. It's a great title that's highly recommended for all lovers of the genre and that gives us a very interesting story that makes us want to keep moving forward and overcoming the challenges to discover more little by little until we reach its end.

Playing the NeocoreGames title, we had mixed feelings. If from a tactical and managerial point of view the product can offer a demanding challenge even for the most demanding players, some choices in the game mechanics appear not entirely in focus.

Regardless of your King Arthur fandom, Knights Tale is a feast with meaty tactics, a sumptuous story, and luscious visuals, all fit for a king.
King Arthur: Knight’s Tale is not a badly made game; it’s just boring, and that might be worse.
A grimdark take on King Arthur's saga that is a pleasant surprise for tactical RPG lovers.

The Arthurian Legend gets a new twist in a compelling turn based RPG.
Bloated, buggy and with its best ideas in the back half, Neocore's grimdark tactical King Arthur spin-off is halfway decent might and magic.
Neocore's rendition of the Arthurian tale is dark and gritty, and isn't for the feint of heart. It's tough, it's challenging, it doesn't hold your hand, but damnit if victory doesn't feel oh so sweet! Without a doubt, King Arthur: Knight's Tale is a day one buy for anyone who enjoys strategic, tactical combat that goes far beyond the decisions you make on the battlefield.
With its engaging combat and dark world that begs to be explored, King Arthur: Knight’s Tale is a treat for those who love RPGs they can sink their teeth into. It might not be the deepest in terms of mechanics or character development, but that just adds to its allure, keeping it relatively frictionless. It’s the fact that this is your journey that will really win you over though. Will you rule over Camelot as a tyrant, or try to bring peace to the land? It’s up to you. And there are many other important decisions to be made along the way.
King Arthur: Knight’s Tale is a high-quality tactical RPG, mechanically, but that’s overshadowed by an dismal narrative, setting and characterisation. At no point does anything in this game suggest that the developers had the slightest interest in doing the Arthurian legends justice (or even respect). This is the end result of the entire industry being motivated around content rather than artistic integrity. King Arthur: Knight’s Tale sure has a lot of best-practice dark fantasy, as the developers chase after all the financial success that other dark fantasy content products have received. If only anyone who worked at the development studio actually picked up Le Morte d’Arthur and learned something about what they were “adapting” to video game form first. They may have realised what a mistake they were making with this game then.
King Arthur: Knight's Tale is a good tactical RPG with plenty of depth in its combat and base management system, as well as a rich story based on Arthurian Legends. If you're a fan of the genre and King Arthur's stories, you'll get a lot of fun out of the huge amount of content in this great title.

After being repeated dozens of times in different ways, do you need to yet another King Arthur tale? Well, the game brings its dark view of this classic tale and makes of it a solid base for building its twisted world. The game is aimed primarily at fans of strategy games, its battles do pose a reasonable challenge, and there is a bit of exploration and a lot of micro-management. Repetition is an issue though, and storytelling isn't as satisfying as we would've liked. We can say it's a really good game but not everyone will like it.

A game that looks promising but fails to deliver on its promises. You may give it a chance if necessary improvements are made in the future, but I suggest you to wait a bit more if you don't want to be disappointed.
