I’d like to start up a new column here on FTG: Off the Beaten Path. There are tons of games that don’t stand out as mainstream and might take a while to gain attention. These are the games that I’d like to look at. It’s not really a review, but it’s just a look at what makes these games special.
This week I’d like to take a look at King Arthur: The Role-playing Wargame.
GNT: In 2009 Neocore games released King Arthur: The Role-Playing Wargame. Whilst it had its flaws, the game quickly grew in popularity and after a mediocre stand alone game, the sequel everyone was waiting for has arrived.

Destructoid- Whether or not King Arthur II is one step forward, two steps back or the other way around is going to depend on what you expect from this sequel. The streamlined campaign may raise many an eyebrow while the text adventure quests will elicit more smiles than frowns, and any fan of this genre of strategy will still spend countless hours both on and off the battlefield. It's not quite the diamond in the rough that many have hoped for, perhaps, but you'll be hard pressed to keep yourself from playing just one more turn.
I would check it out if my PC could run it. Oh I wish it could.
Holy shit, this game sounds awesome. How the F did I miss this?
