Why does every grim-dark fantasy king these days have to wear the lichking/sauron crown?

I also got Disciples vibes.

This studio always has cool ideas, but they never have the funds to pull them off. Their games lack polish.

I said I wasn't going to crowdfund anymore after all the bullshit with Phoenix Point, Shenmue 3, Outer Wilds, etc.. But I decided to back this one. Apparently they are also getting some funds from the EU.

The dark fantasy setting inspired by Arthurian legends and Disciples art style is interesting enough for me.

The gameplay seems like a combination of Darkest Dungeon and classic turn-based RPGs. The heroes are susceptible to all kind of afflictions and there's a pre/post mission management involved for both the party and the kingdom.

The combat looks alright. There are some extensive skill trees to provide the kind of variety and depth I want from this sort of games.

I don't know anything about the writing. They say that each hero has a unique personality. You'll have to make choices, settle disputes, etc. But they didn't show much and if I'll have to guess, it's probably going to be something similar to Inquisitor - Martyr in this regard.

To reiterate on what I said above, I trust Neocore to make an interesting game and not just something generic. But it's most likely going to have an average production value and plenty of flaws.

they are not gonna make their target goal unless they get more idiots dunking 5k large a pop into it

their early birds are barely budging, selling less then 1500 copies , doesnt bode well for its future popularity and support

and they definatly are not gonna hit their internal goal of probably 200k-250k+

Luckily their warhammer game funded the game engine n stuff already

Yet again you seem to be talking out of your ass.

They are halfway through and there are 21 days left. Usually the last 1-2 days in a campaign bring a lot of revenue.

As I said above, this game is also funded by the EU.

yes yes 1500 copies, great succes, they arent selling like hotcakes either

one third of their current funded budget sofar came from big ticket 1k -4k usd spenders, thats a lot of 25 usd copies missing

Im suprized a company as old as neocore doesnt have more sway with its fanbase in absolute numbers. Anyway thanks EU for the funding, ill pick it up when its all patched up in 2022 steam sale for 5 bucks like i do all my neocore games Very Happy

Haven't played proper turn-base for a long time. This one looks intriguing; the setting is also very nice. Fingers crossed Smile

Neocore's original King Arthur game was a real time strategy like the Total War series. I liked it a lot. The sequel wasn't as good, I think. This is a different genre entirely of course.

Neocore are a bit hit and miss in their work because their standards are high but their budget ... not so much.

Reminds me of other european developers like Spiders

I watched Fextralife's vod yesterday and I was disappointed to see the turn-based combat works the same as in Wasteland 3. There's no per unit initiative, the turns is for the whole team. Sad

Thought so as well. Hope they add initiative later. I was hoping for a turn-based world map as in Disciples or HoM&M, but all it's mission-based.

Here's some 4K pics and videos (one of the is still processing): https://www.pcmrace.com/2021/01/26/nuestras-imagenes-y-videos-de-gameplay-de-king-arthur-knights-tale-en-4k-con-detalles-al-maximo/

Nothing fancy graphics wise or original in terms of mechanics but it gets the job done I guess, considering it's the first early access version.

Nah, I was just showing the structures and menues, it's not that bad. The map doens't even have turns as I mentioned before. It's just a map with separate missions and you can choose any as they appear.
