NeocoreGames Returns with King Arthur: Legion IX
NeocoreGames, the studio behind the hit strategy game King Arthur: Knight’s Tale, is back with a new installment in the series – King Arthur: Legion IX. While the game shares many similarities with its predecessor, it offers a fresh perspective on the Arthurian legend by focusing on an immortal Roman legionary force led by the villainous Tribune Gaius Julius Mentor.
For fans of Knight’s Tale, the transition to Legion IX will feel familiar, as the core gameplay systems and mechanics remain largely unchanged. However, the game introduces a new story and characters, bringing players on a journey to establish their immortal army in the fantasy land of Avalon.
While Legion IX excels in combat and character customization, with a range of unique enemy types to challenge players, it falls short in other areas. The game suffers from performance issues, including crashes and bugs that detract from the overall experience. Additionally, the exploration and level design leave much to be desired, with little opportunity for healing and preparation between battles.
Despite its flaws, King Arthur: Legion IX offers a compelling combat experience with deep strategic elements and a branching dialogue system. While it may not surpass its predecessor in terms of innovation, the game has enough to offer to keep fans engaged.
As NeocoreGames continues to refine and improve upon Legion IX, players can expect a challenging and immersive gaming experience, with the opportunity to build their army and shape the fate of Avalon.
