King arthur 2 is a Turn-based Strategy rpg. It takes place (as is obvious from the title) During the mythical time of king arthur and his knights of the round table. This aspect adds alot of fantasy elements into the game and is a nice change of pace from all the historical strategy games on the market today.

The story and narration in king arthur are very well done. Quests feel fun to do with multiple ways to complete many of them.The only let down with the questing is that it generally falls into 2 types of quests: text based and combat quests meaning you either have to read tons of text or go to a set area with your army and kill something,Thats all you really do.

The fantasy elements come at a high price: Basic human units feel weak and lackluster when compared to high fantasy golems, dragons and shape shifting warriors.Therefore by games end you will have replaced the majority of your army with fantasy units rather than human infantry and archers.

The addition of magic into the game adds more depth to the way you fight battles, But sadly magic in both King arthur games feels overpowered to the extreme.It is possible to win battles without ever firing a single arrow or engaging in hand-to-hand combat.The enemy AI in the game also has to capability to decimate your entire army with magic.

Lastly heroes in the game are capable of winning entire battles almost single handedly.As a result the rest of your army is reverted to a support role,Taking damage so your hero can close the range to engage with melee or magic attacks.

All these things mean that you will be forced to fill your armies with as many overpowered fantasy units as possible. Because you can rest assured that the Ai armies wiil be packed with them.

overall unless you find this game on sale i would say avoid it.The game constantly nudges you in the way it wants you to play rather than letting you do whatever you want.

An underatted game I feel - this games has loads of features that are good fun to play around with. Definitely get it if your rig can run it and especially when on sale

An intresting game, I personally like the first one better in the army mechanics and how you ran your lands, but the story in king arthur 2 is an intresting enough for a play though. I think the magic works better than in the KA1 and it pretty epic to watch a whole group of spearmen get taken out by a lighting bolt. So if you see it on sale pick it up.

Sadly, there were too many bugs for me to enjoy King Arthur 2.

I really liked the presentation. (The artwork was outstanding. Really, very fun.)

I really liked the idea of playing in this magical, medieval world.

I liked most of the combat.

I didn't like how the cities were managed, but I dealt with that.

I didn't like how I could only control one or two armies (maybe later there will be more, I don't know), but I suffered through that.

I didn't like how players were herded towards attacking certain territories instead of where they wanted, but I went along with it, because I knew the developers were trying to tell a linear story.

However, the few quest-breaking bugs, few poor design decisions (seriously, heavy cavalry charging in dense forest??), and random crashes destroyed the experience for me.

I tried. I played for nearly forty hours and got to the point in the story where Arthur is closing the Roman gates.

But, after refighting one of those "invincible" armies and having the game bug on me, because I didn't close a window in time for the AI to attack my other army... nope, done.

If the next game can get rid of these issues, I'm sure I'll buy it, but I'm done with this one.

Pros:I can't get enough of this game! Beautifully designed graphics and nice gameplay. Also the battles are huge! Should keep me playing for a long time.


Cons:Can be a bit hard to learn for some(I got it really easy because I play lots of these games)
