Arthur's Knights 2 - PC

The legendary Arthur, Merlin, Morgana, Lancelot and Gawaine are famous from books, shows, and movies. But as of late 2000, you were able to find them on your PC in Cryo’s video game, Arthur’s Knights. The game proved so successful that the company decided to release the second part of the ongoing game, imaginatively titled Arthur’s Knights 2.

The tale of Arthur’s Knights 2 picks up where its predecessor left off. After defeating his not-so-friendly brother, Morganor, Bradwen (played by you) is named King. But soon after, he discovers the forces of darkness have cursed his whole family. Eager to save them, he embarks upon another quest, filled with the medieval fantasy.

Arthur’s Knights is not a combat-based game, but more of an interactive novel that incorporates several role-playing aspects. The journey through the game entails the lead character interacting with dozens of other NPCs (non-playable characters), solving puzzles, obtaining clues and items, and travelling across many mythical environments. You will also have numerous encounters with enemy armies and dragons during the game’s 20 or so hours of gameplay.

If fast action is what you’re after, go play a racing game or a beat-em-up. But if slow intellectual, brain-teasing adventures is what you’re looking for, Arthur’s Knights 2 will do just nicely. more
