King Arthur: Legion IX

UPDATE (2nd Hour): ~~ (7/28/2026) ~~ Now that I know what to expect, I've calmed down a bit on judging this game. The floaty, weightless movement and controls are all still there of course, but I'll step back and try to give a more considered examination on the game as a whole as I make my way into this world. To be clear here, the graphics are very nice and present a sometimes stunning look at a dark underworld that the main characters don't understand. But unfortunately, the writing and the voice acting is immature and inappropriate and steals a lot of the gravitas away from the visuals. The unfunny modern jokes are misplaced and never cease to break the immersion that the attractive graphics work so hard to maintain. This is already the second time I've mentioned these inadequacies and there's nothing to be done with them except for me to stop crying about them and just move on. Because the story will never be the thing that keeps bringing me back to it, I can only hope the gameplay can do that trick. Having fought 1 or 2 more battles, I'm beginning to get the hang of them and hope they have enough intricacies and different, interesting moves to keep players on their toes and engaged. I've just reached the first leveling up of my starting 3 characters so hopefully more on that kind of advancement soon... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~ (7/26/2026) ~~ The very first half hour of this game is not promising. Three figures appear on screen out of portals and begin kvetching immediately, complaining about their travels like lost old man who've gotten lost on the way to the local Golden Corral. They're dressed as Roman warriors, but their voices and words are ultra-modern and American, no Shakespearian Old English for any of these gents. Once the first fight begins and the swords start swinging, things get worse. Each attack is as weightless as if they were fighting on the moon and no blow connects with any feeling or force. Between the terrible dialogue (delivered terribly) and unengaging tactical fights, I wanted to quit almost instantly. I didn't realize while playing it, but the Crown Wars battles all excel at every detail and feel as if they take place in a real world, where you feel the heft of every crossbow as you take aim, the impact of every bolt as it lands and the grunt of every soldier hit. I only bought King Arthur: Legion IX a few hours ago (thankfully for just a scant $4 on sale) and I already feel like uninstalling it. I chose it over the first game in the series because it was newer (and cheaper) and I just assumed that newer meant better. To say I'm having second thoughts is an understatement; I was so high on my current playthrough of Crown Wars that I saw another RPG with turn-based tactical battles and a cool looking location and story that I grabbed it before looking into it at all. In answer to the Do I Recommend question here that I'm forced to answer before I can post a review, I'll say No for now and write more at a later date if I find any encouragement that King Arthur gets better. If you never hear from me again, just assume I uninstalled this and went happily back to Crown Wars.

Niestety gra bardzo słaba tak na 5/10. Przeszedłem główną linię fabularną i gra w zasadzie sama się przechodzi, bez dobrej fabuły, bez ciekawych walk. To po prostu wieje NUDĄ ! Oryginalna część o wiele lepsza i trudniejsza oraz ciekawsza!

+ More King Arthur, but with Romans!? + Less choice, less fomo + I liked the undead Roman party - Short - Endgame without a story My Enjoyment: 8/10 Was more relaxing than a Knights Tale, but too short

Weiß nicht wie lange das Spiel ladet, aber ich hab bis jetzt nicht die Geduld solange zu warten. Man denkt 16 GB müßten ausreichen um das Spiel zu spielen , aber anscheinend nicht? Ist es weil es im Sale ist und jetzt Tausende Leute mehr zocken? Aber ich lade nebenbei King Arthurs Tale runter, vlt. liegt es auch daran, aber es scheinen die Ladezeiten wohl ordentlich zu sein? Hoffe es ist nur Anfangs so? Kann zum Spiel selbst noch nichts sagen.

Все уже было сказано другими. Не полноценная игра, а урезанное даже в базовых механиках длц.

전작 킹아서 나이츠 테일보다 분량도 적고 등장하는 영웅들도 너무 적다 아무리 외전격이지만 좀 심하다 그래도 가격은 저렴한 편이니 할인할때 할 거 없으면 해보는 것도 나쁘지는 않을 듯 추천은 하지 못하지만 그래도 로마뽕은 조금 받을 수 있는 게임

I had a great time with this game. The graphics are very good dark fantasy realm. I liked the story short but good. Like the ultimate abilities. Must manage your resources!! I do love the personalities .. Gaius Julius Mentos FOR ROME!
