Introduction
King Arthur: Fallen Champions is a strategy role-playing game developed by NeocoreGames and published by Paradox Interactive. It was released for Microsoft Windows, Xbox 360, and PlayStation 3 in 2011. The game is set in the world of Arthurian legend, and follows the story of three heroes who must band together to defeat an evil force that threatens to destroy the kingdom.
Gameplay
King Arthur: Fallen Champions is a turn-based strategy RPG. The player controls a party of up to three heroes, each with their own unique abilities and skills. The player must use these abilities to defeat enemies, solve puzzles, and progress through the game’s story.
The game’s combat system is based on a dice-rolling mechanic. When a hero attacks, they roll a number of dice equal to their attack stat. The number of successes rolled determines the amount of damage the hero does. Heroes can also use special abilities, which can have a variety of effects, such as healing allies, damaging enemies, or buffing the party’s stats.
In addition to combat, the player must also manage their heroes’ resources. Heroes have a limited amount of health and energy, which must be managed carefully in order to avoid defeat. The player can also collect items, which can be used to heal heroes, restore energy, or buff their stats.
