Is there any decent RPG set in the Arthurian mythology? The Round Table is a natural base for various warrior classes, before heading for Merlin and his classes—is it not?

I have this game on my wishlist, but waiting for a decent sale.

I had completely forgotten about this game, and certainly never played it, but:

Here's a PC Gamer review of the second game.

King Arthur 2: The Role Playing Wargame review

I’m in a dank bog, talking to the ghostly wife of a Roman lunatic who thinks that he’s the Emperor Hadrian. I’m desperately trying to persuade her to make him go away. Where did my life go so wrong? I

King Arthur: Knight's Tale

Thanks for that

Steam reviews suggest repetitive play and very player-unfriendly, in that when you discover you can't finish the game due to squad mismatch, you have to start over from the beginning.

Sounds ideal for RPG players who enjoy the figuring out side of things, but I'll pass

Rocket Propelled Grenades

Zed will tell you about Rebounds Per Game, latest of which he missed due to industrial action by the Ryanair Pilots Group union.

Oh, make sure you have Regulation Prescription Glasses if you want to properly visualize a Retrograde PyeloGram—nasty yokes, those.

King Arthur Collection

Hmm thanks, looks like influenced by Warhammer & Total War & HOMM.

There's nothing I would recommend. I could have sworn that another Arthurian game came out last year, but either I just can't find it, or I'm actually thinking of Knight's Tale.

Edit: Never mind. I found it in my wishlist. It was just Knight's Tale.

It has its own Wikipedia page:

Oh nice one—52 pages = 52 games I assume. I didn't know there was a Tomb Raider around this theme. Page says…
"Last edited 5 years ago by Armbrust"
…so anything released since 2018 won't be there at the moment.

I FOUND IT!​

Despite declaring it was another game and briefly giving up, it kept nagging me that I had seen another Arthurian game. I finally found it.

Save 20% on Tainted Grail: The Fall of Avalon on Steam

Step into a dark reimagination of Arthurian legends in this first person, open world RPG. Explore a world stuck in everlasting autumn, witness falling legends and make meaningful choices woven into a complex, branching storyline.

First person, open world. But it's early access, so probably a no go for now. I mean, I'd like it, but most on here don't play early access.

By the way, searching Steam with "Excalibur" brings up a bunch of games, but they all looked like trash to me except for this one that hasn't been released yet:

Dark Life Excalibur on Steam

Dark Life: Excalibur is a fantasy action adventure that tells the story of Aron, a human who is linked to the most famous and legendary sword of all time: Excalibur.

Not sure Dark Age of Camelot counts but it has Camelot in the name so.

Found this on GOG, it is old and i havn't played it myself but if one likes that type of game it might be fun maybe.

Conquests of Camelot: The Search for the Grail

In pagan times, the legends of Camelot were told as epic tales full of faith. Bold, color
