There’s a real heart and soul to this project, and Poland has produced yet another developer that is well worth keeping an eye on.

With a free exploration that works and a combat system that takes the best of the genre, Tainted Grail: The Fall of Avalon is a new step in the western RPG. The Arthurian myth serves as the basis for a lore riddled with legends, fantastic creatures and mythical characters that merge with the story to create something with its own personality. Large areas to travel through, solid mechanics and unforgettable moments that take all the good things from the board game to create a title that, despite its budget problems, manages to shine within the current catalog.

A deliciously old-fashioned open-world RPG, that harkens back to a seemingly bygone era of pure gaming fun.
It’s clear that The Fall of Avalon aims for Bethesda-level ambition without the resources to fully back it up. Still, beneath the rough edges lies a rich RPG experience that—when it works—keeps you engaged for hours.
I may have sounded overly harsh, but in reality, I actually enjoyed my time playing Tainted Grail: The Fall of Avalon IN SPITE of its many issues and bugs. It’s a fun world to explore, it’s an interesting lore to unveil, and, as previously mentioned, the story is actually really good. I can’t help but deeply respect a smaller team for coming up with what’s essentially their own take on The Elder Scrolls. That being said, those Bethesda RPGs have a certain charm and mojo that’s impossible to replicate.
Tainted Grail: The Fall of Avalon delivers what it promises: a love letter to the Western RPGs that marked an era and the hearts of many fans. However, it is clear that, to break through the niche bubble and truly stand out (as its greatest influences once did), more polish is needed in fundamental aspects, such as performance and difficulty.

Not everyone is going to resonate with the creepier, darker tone, and the game’s technical state leaves much to be desired. However, those that do resonate with it will find an interesting, complex, intelligent narrative with the player being used both as a framing device and a driving force.
Tainted Grail: The Fall of Avalon is a dark fantasy open-world RPG inspired by Arthurian legend. With deep character builds, rich lore, and tactical combat, it's a must-play for RPG veterans-despite some technical flaws.
