A unique hybrid between turn-based tactical games and traditional, character-centric RPGs, King Arthur: Knight's Tale is a modern retelling of classic Arthurian mythology filtered through dark fantasy tropes, and presents a compelling twist on the traditional tales of chivalry.
The game originally launched on PC, following a successful Kickstarter campaign in 2020 that earned the game a devoted and passionate fanbase. Since its original PC launch, the game has been lauded by critics, described by RPG Fan as “a top-notch tactical RPG” and “the definitive King Arthur game.”
Console features
Graphical options: Players can choose between a Quality Mode offering 4K visuals, or a Performance Mode that prioritises framerate.
Local PvP: Challenge your friends on the battlefields of Avalon in local multiplayer.
Haptic Feedback: PS5 players can get closer to the battlefield than ever before, thanks to haptic feedback support for the DualSense controller.
Support for this console release will continue long after launch with seasonal content, optional skirmishes, and more features coming at a later date.
Set in a dark fantasy world based on the Arthurian myth (and our previous King Arthur strategy games), this Tactical / RPG hybrid begins right after the famous battle of Camlann, with a twist:
You are Sir Mordred, the nemesis of King Arthur, the former black knight of the grim tales. You killed King Arthur, but with his dying breath, he struck you down. You both died – and yet, you both live.
Indie developer WildArts(@wildartsdevs) and publisher Dear Villagers (@DearVillagers) confirmed that adventure RPG Born of Breadwill be releasing this Fall on Xbox Series, PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch and PC platforms. Get an all-new look at the game before its launch, check out this all-new gameplay footage of Loaf’s adventure!
Born of Bread is a home-cooked turn-based role-playing adventure that throws back to classic cartoony RPGs full of fun characters and charming stories for children and adults alike. Beings from another age are causing havoc across the land and their mischief comes as a great threat for everyone. The unlikeliest hero, Loaf, a golem born of bread who possesses a never-ending childlike wonder, will find himself and his newfound friends in the middle of a drama that’s thousands of years in the making.
Explore a wonderful world ripe with mysteries, ranging from the enigmatic ruins of the Forest of Roots to the freezing landscapes of Frosty Flats. With the help of your buddies, face off against menacing baddies and engage in fun, quirky turn-based /real-time hybrid combat.
The full recipe to bake Born of Bread requires the following ingredients:
One flour golem who possesses a never-ending childlike wonder and a set of odd abilities
A wonderful world ripe with mysteries
An eclectic cast of fleshed-out characters
A wacky storyline
A pinch of light puzzles
Turn-based battles with a dash of real-time minigames
Bright, colorful 2.5D graphics
Side-missions (add to taste)
A captive audience granting you bonuses in battle
To start with, you’ll want your flour golem, Loaf. Put him in a mystical land where he can mingle with his friends and local folk. Although he may not look like much, Loaf might be the hero this land kneads!
Stir in a story of beings from another age causing havoc across the land. And with their mischief comes a great threat to everyone!
Mold an eclectic cast of endearing characters, 2.5D illustrated setting, environmental puzzles, and unique turn-based /real-time hybrid battles. Be sure you know what your enemy is weak or resistant against, as it will take brains and reflexes to thwart Born of Bread’s throngs of foes.
Born of Bread will be available for Xbox Series, PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch and PC via Steam in Fall 2023.
