King Arthur: Knight’s Tale (v2.0.1 & ALL DLC)

Avalon becomes a diseased, moonlit battlefield where Arthurian legend rots into horror. You play Sir Mordred, King Arthur’s killer and mortal enemy, raised alongside the king after their final duel ends in mutual death. Arthur returns as an immortal, broken tyrant whose presence twists the enchanted island into a realm of monsters, cursed knights, and ruined strongholds. The result is a grim tactical RPG that trades heroic pageantry for difficult choices, brutal fights, and a campaign built around ending the king you once slew.

Combat unfolds in deliberate, turn-based encounters where a party of up to four knights must manage positioning, action points, armor, terrain, and enemy threats. Each hero fills a distinct role, from heavily armored defenders and lethal archers to spellcasters, healers, and agile assassins, while level-ups unlock active abilities and meaningful specialization paths. Missions send Mordred across Avalon to clear infestations, rescue allies, investigate supernatural dangers, and confront rival factions, but injuries and death make every deployment matter. Between battles, Camelot serves as your headquarters, letting you heal wounded knights, train recruits, construct useful facilities, and prepare for the next stage of the campaign.

Its strongest feature is the way party management connects to morality and politics. Decisions push Mordred toward values such as righteousness or tyranny, Christianity or the Old Faith, shaping alliances, unlocking events, and determining which knights remain loyal to his cause. Avalon’s map-based campaign structure gives the adventure a satisfying strategic rhythm, while its hand-crafted missions avoid the disposable feel of many random tactical skirmishes. Fans of XCOM’s careful squad tactics, Darkest Dungeon’s oppressive mood, and classic party-based RPG progression find plenty to appreciate, especially if they want a darker and more demanding take on Camelot.
