  • The game features an interesting storyline that may appeal to fans of the original King Arthur.
  • The graphics and unit models are detailed, showcasing a beautiful game engine.
  • The combat system has some improvements over its predecessor, making battles engaging.
  • The game is plagued by crashes, glitches, and runtime errors, making it frustrating to play.
  • Controls are poorly implemented, leading to unresponsive units and a lack of control during battles.
  • The game lacks optimization for modern systems, with issues like resolution problems and a lack of save features during scenarios.
  • story
    13 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's storyline is a highlight for many players, offering a deep narrative that serves as a prequel to the events of King Arthur II, though it diverges from the traditional Arthurian legends. However, the extensive branching dialogues can be frustrating, especially for those who prefer action over reading, and the linear campaign structure limits exploration. While the graphics and RPG elements are praised, the chaotic mission design and character inconsistencies detract from the overall experience.

    • “I still recommend the game, just for the storyline.”
    • “Fallen Champions is a linear expansion to the original King Arthur in which you take control of three different heroes and their armies and follow their stories in what is essentially a story-based prequel to the events of King Arthur 2.”
    • “Beautiful game engine and some nice RPG elements to the deep story-driven campaigns.”
    • “Before you can start any battle, you have to dig through an endless sequence of branching dialogs which tell you the story. Since I am not a keen reader, I attempted to just skip all that rubbish to finally see the battles, but got stuck in looping branches, meaning you do have to read them, which is pretty frustrating.”
    • “Everything seems chaotic about that part and out of context, with characters in the story being different from characters taking part in battles.”
    • “All in all, only get this if, like me, you love the series and are interested in what happened between King Arthur 1 and 2. The story doesn't have anything at all to do with the legends of King Arthur, so if you buy this solely because you love the King Arthur legends, then this won't serve you any purpose.”
