King Arthur: Legion IX is a turn-based, stand-alone tactical RPG set in the character-centric universe of King Arthur: Knight’s Tale. This is a dark fantasy version of the Arthurian myth.
Rome Wasn’t Built in a Day!
The game welcomes new players to the mythical land of Avalon. It also brings an all-new story and heroes and offers tough challenges to returning soldiers.
To celebrate the announcement, King Arthur: Legion IX‘s predecessor King Arthur: Knight’s Tale will be 60% off during Steam’s Turn-Based event running from April 4th to April 8th.
The game introduces a new threat over Avalon as the long-lost, infamous Ninth Legion of Rome has set foot on the mythical island. Gaius Julius Mento is their commander, a fallen hero who has been granted a demonic legion by their dead emperor, Septimus Sulla.
Key Features:
- A Role-playing Tactical Adventure: Experience a unique hybrid between turn-based tactical games and traditional, character-centric RPGs. Manage and control a party of 5-6 heroes to explore and conquer the land of Avalon. Engage in deep tactical combat, tough moral choices, hero management, and the rebuilding of Nova Roma.
- Prove Your Worth as a Tactician: Every little move and every decision matters. Use covers, traps, flanking and an in-depth overwatch and opportunity system and turn the entire battlefield to your advantage like a master tactician. Sometimes meticulous planning, sometimes charging simply to combat will be the key to victory. The only difference between a successful or a failed quest may depend on the composition of your party only!
- Heroes Straight from the Abyss: Legion IX introduces six unique heroes who have risen from the Abyss to conquer the mythical land of Avalon. Level up, gain skill points and unlock unique skill trees. Loot, equip and craft hundreds of artefacts and create the deadliest fighting force that has ever set foot on Avalon.
- Wide Variety of Abilities: Use unique skills, Ultimate Skills and World Abilities to overcome the toughest challenges during your quests in Avalon. Take risks and explore various tactical options as heroes don’t face permanent death at the end of the missions. Test your skills in different difficulty modes, from laid-back storytelling to brutal, unforgiving battles.
- Not Built in a Day: Build up and expand the city of Nova Roma. Make sure that your stronghold has the right facilities for your heroes that prepare them for different quests. But beware! Resources are scarce and you have to manage Nova Roma thoughtfully to keep it afloat.
- Regain Your Humanity: Your decisions have far-reaching consequences, influencing both gameplay and narrative. Through your actions, Gaius will either restore his humanity, or forever be transformed into a demon.
