KickStarter King Arthur: Knight's Tale + Legion IX standalone expansion - dark fantasy turn-based tactical RPG from NeocoreGames

[Feyd Rautha]

I kept putting off buying this game because it refused to go on a big enough discount (probably because it's too successful), but I just randomly remembered it's always a good idea to check potato shoppes for best deals, and indeed! I just got it for 40% of the basic price

You cheap fuck!

First you posted this when the game was announced giving the impression this is something to support on kickstarter (which I did).

whoa

WHOA WHOA WHOA WHOA WHOA

DONATING NAO

Then the game was released and I always wondered what you thought about it since you were so hyped when it was announced. And now it turns out you don't want to give indie developers money for their products! If we don't support developers like this then who will? And were should the good games come from if you're not inclined to pay full price for them?

Unbelievable.

Pay full price if the developer is worthy, don't use discounts.

 

[Lacrymas]

Well, he did say he would be unpleasant.

I donated to the KS but then requested a refund when the game was released because it refused to run on W7 which I was still using at the time. I'm pretty sure I posted about that in this very thread. In fact I'm pretty sure that whatever I paid now was exactly as much as I donated to the KS lul.

 

[Lyre Mors]

Has it been explicitly stated yet when the DLC content will occur within the campaign? Is it going to be mid, late, or post game?

 

[Lacrymas]

It reads to me like it's going to be another campaign altogether.

 

[Lyre Mors]

Oh, interesting. Hopefully it'll be a nice tightly designed 20-30 hour campaign.

 

[Grunker]

I also thought it sounded standalone. Would rather have an oldschool expansion but I'll take this.

 

[Darth Roxor]

Only finished the first tutorial mission but man, the aesthetixxx and shit immediately make me feel at home. It blows my mind that they just dropped King Arthur altogether after KA2 to focus on whatever shit nobody cares about.

The story gets increasingly boring and edgy as the writing steadily drops in quality, but the visual design and especially the ~*aTmOsPhErE*~ just keeps lifting the feel of the game far above the mediocrity it would otherwise slump in aesthetically.

It is one of the better rpgs of the past few years. Sadly the kodex is filled with retarded consumers that just slurp any AAA garbage they throw at them.

 

[Aarwolf]

Nah, Neocore is a company I'm willing to give money to myself. Gotta support brotherly magyar economy.

If you bought it that cheap, then it's probably some Russoid credit card thief that got your money, and not the devs.

No, it's a legit potato game shop (muve), not a reseller haven.

Sorry bro, Muve is owned by 1C Entertainment which was russian (but based in Poland), and now is chinese.

Still a legitimate retailer.

Meanwhile, after the first mission I was a little worried about the trash tier performance I was getting (I fear my graphics card is completely obsolete nowadays), though changing maps from the prison to undead sir wossname improved it massively, and the marauder knight hunt also worked fine, so I guess it was the torches in the prison that were killing me.

Also, the attack animations and effects are lovably chunky. You swipe your greatsword at a nigga and it makes you go WHAM!

Btw, what difficulty should this be played on, preferably? I had some recollections of people getting butchered, so I decided to conservatively pick Moderate (aka 3rd of 5), and I'm mostly breezing through the stuff so far, though I realise perfectly well that these are still borderline tutorial missions. Regardless, it feels like a moment where I could safely restart if needed without much loss of progress.

I also need to know this, decided to check performance on steam deck and after an hour or two it was a breeze on moderate.

I don't like the camera, rest of the game is pure incline.

 

[Lacrymas]

Hardest difficulty. You are on a niche RPG forum, you know how an RPG is played.

 

[Zed Duke of Banville]

I recommend starting on the 2nd-hardest difficulty level and upping it to the hardest difficulty after a few missions have permitted you to become accustomed to the game, but IIRC a few missions are so much more difficult than the norm that you might have no alternative but to temporarily lower the difficulty setting.

Technically Hard is normal and that's the difficulty I played on. It is fine for the most part, although some side missions for knights between level 9 and 11 have huge difficulty spikes (quests that I know of: White Knight, Sir Damas, Sir Lucan). You REALLY need to be on top of the game in order to beat them.

The game seems to be clearly made and balanced with the hardest difficulty in mind.

That being said, be prepared to get your shit pushed in by waves of high-HP enemies.

 

[Harthwain]

The game seems to be clearly made and balanced with the hardest difficulty in mind.

According to one of the developers "Roguelite's default difficulty is Hard", so Hard is essentially normal and that's the difficulty the game was balanced around. But some people found one difficulty to not be enough (for some it was too hard, for others - too easy), so we got more difficulties instead, allowing people to tailor the difficulty level to their needs.

The hardest, definitely. It will be nailbitingly tough at first, but unfortunately the game loses all semblance of challenge in the late game - and it’ll happen sooner if you don’t play on the hardest diff.

 

[Darth Roxor]

Oh, the difficulty can be changed mid-game? That's nice.

 

[Lacrymas]

The first few missions on the hardest difficulty are ridiculously brutal and a gauntlet of resource attrition, so don't miss that.

Good! You should buy the supporter pack then.


Also the 2.0 patch for King Arthur: Knight's Tale drops tomorrow so that's something.

 

[Darth Roxor]

Good! You should but the supporter pack then.

nice try mr orban
