14 DAY TRIAL // The fine folks at Neocore Games ran a successful King Arthur: Knight's Tale crowdfunding campaign on Kickstarter not long ago, and the studio revealed today that their new game will come to Steam Early Access very soon.
For those who missed the news about Neocore's next game, King Arthur: Knight's Tale is a turn-based tactical role-playing game, which mixes turn-based tactical gameplay and traditional, character-centric RPG narrative.
In King Arthur: Knight's Tale, players control a small team of heroes and fight vicious, yet satisfying battles with a deeply engaging, tactical turn-based combat system. Neocore promises that players will be able to choose from more than 30 heroes of five diverse classes. Also, hundreds of skills and artefacts will be available to combine in order to assemble an efficient team.
The Knights of the Round Table are back for another adventure, but this time you're rather on the dark side of things. The character progression system is designed to be as deep as in the traditional RPGs, which means heroes will level up on unique skill trees and the complex loot system will offer unique options to fine-tune tactical capabilities.
Since the game heavily focuses on narrative, each hero has a distinctive personality and their loyalty is constantly changing through the decisions made by the player. Moreover, in King Arthur: Knight's Tale players can manage and rebuild Camelot by expanding the mystical Stronghold with new buildings that each unlock various upgrades that offer different ways to heal up and manage the heroes of the Round Table.
Despite the name of the game, you'll be playing as Sir Mordred, the former nemesis of King Arthur. Players who finish the game will be invited to get a taste of the endgame content which opens up once the main story concludes. It will feature tough new challenges that appear on the map, mythic boss fights and random quests, loot, and character progression ultimately leading to the banishing of Balor, the monstrous god-king of the Fomorians himself.
King Arthur: Knight's Tale is coming to Steam Early Access on January 12, 2021, but Neocore Games plans to launch the game on consoles as well when it's ready. Until then, you can wishlist King Arthur: Knight's Tale on Steam.
