Overview
Description

King Arthur: The Role-Playing Wargame is an innovative fantasy strategy title that merges grand-scale tactical warfare with deep role-playing elements. Players step into the shoes of young Arthur as he pulls Excalibur from the stone, gathers the legendary Knights of the Round Table, and sets out to conquer the mythical and monster-filled lands of Britannia. Blending turn-based empire building with epic real-time tactical battles, the game challenges players to make profound moral choices that alter the fabric of their realm. Command mystical units, shape your kingdom through faith and turning points in history, and lead your armies to glory in a vivid medieval fantasy setting.

In King Arthur: The Saxons you command the devout Saxon warriors under King Raedwald, defending Britannia from the resurgence of wizardry and pagan monsters. Recruit armies, forge knights, and shape the fate of the realm in a sandbox experience that expands the King Arthur universe. This expansion blends real‑time strategy with historical fantasy, offering both single‑player campaigns and multiplayer battles. Lead your forces across Norfolk, manage resources, and prove that Raedwald is the true Once and Future King.
