King Arthur: Legion IX
King Arthur: Legion IX is competent and works as it should, but it lacks any draw for new players and is likely better for fans of the series.
King Arthur: Legion IX basically retains the same formula of its predecessor and still offers plenty of good tactical combat, but overall the reduced complexity of its systems and the lack of meaningful innovation make it a less appealing product than Knight's Tale.
Overall, fans of King Arthur: Knight’s Tale will enjoy this DLC expansion. Newcomers starting with Legion IX will need some onboarding. The game’s core combat remains challenging, interesting, and fun, even if the narrative and writing are disappointing. As a fan of Arthurian legends and history — and more importantly, tactical turn-based RPGs — I had a good time on the battlefields of Avalon.

This game has the best medieval combat. You really feel like an armored knight. The game has no RNG, thus, there is never the frustration of a missed shot. It is all 'all your team moves at the same time' (like Gears Tactics) not a turn order game (like Triangle Strategy). Thus, your challenge is to optimise the team attack, consider all six team members each with around 8 action points that could be movement or attacking and each with multiple different types of actions (special moves, buffs...). All that keeps the mind busy! I found I would get into a flow trying to figure out what to do in my turn. You can save between battles in a mission but not within a battle, which is a good system to reduce the temptation to save-scumming yet allow you the comfort knowing that if you wanted to re-do a whole battle you could. If you liked King Arthur: Knight's Tale, you'll probably like this game. This game is a bit more streamlined (e.g., there is only vitality, not vitality plus health) its 'parent game', in ways that I like. The developer, Neocore games, does a great job in designing levels. Nice graphics in this game. Overall, IMHO, this game has the best medieval turn-based combat, which really captures the feel of being an armored knight.

I tried coming back to this 5 times and hated it every time. This game feels like a very early access game.

Great tactical turn-based game that stands out with its aesthetics, setting and stylization. Who wouldn't want to play as zombie Romans in the conquest of mythical Avalon? King Arthur demonstrates that when you have good and enjoyable combat, you don't really need much else and don't have to artificially extend the gameplay to higher tens of hours.

The undead Roman legion in Avalon knows how to fight well. Although there are not many heroes and the management between missions is more modest, the legionnaires will prove themselves in a several-hours long campaign.

King Arthur: Legion IX tries to implement Knight’s Tale’s successful formula in a more compact format, resulting in a hit and miss Tactical RPG experience that shines in areas such as turn-based combat and art design but comes up short in story, sound design, and voice acting.

King Arthur: Legion IX is a solid RPG with crunchy and satisfying turn-based combat that takes place in a setting you won’t soon forget – a bit janky and rough around the edges, but good fun.

King Arthur: Legion IX is a decent strategy RPG experience, with an intuitive user interface, as well as cool abilities and gameplay ideas which strategy fans should find appealing. That said, with the game throwing waves of tanky foes at you while restricting the number of allies you can bring along, what starts as a fun and fair challenge begins to feel like an irritating slog before long. Couple that with a fairly unengaging and shallow cast and narrative and you’re left with a fun combat system and some interesting enemy designs, but not a whole lot more to it. If you enjoyed King Arthur: Knight’s Tale, then this Roman-themed additional campaign may be the new content which you have been waiting for. For anyone else, it is more of a tentative recommendation.
