TSA writes: Set in Arthurian England in 673 AD, Pendragon is a narrative turn-based strategy game from Inkle, the indie studio behind 80 Days and Heaven’s Vault. Opening shortly after the dissolution of the Knights of the Round Table, you are tasked with rallying to King Arthur’s side as he prepares to confront the evil Mordred in the battle at Camlann. At first glance, you’d be forgiven for thinking that Pendragon is a simple game when compared to Inkle’s previous titles, but there’s a lot more to this Arthurian tale than first meets the eye – or indeed, the first playthrough.
Pendragon is an extremely dynamic and adaptable narrative experience, and one which makes excellent use of the rich source material of Arthurian legend.
Sean @ FG: An impressive blend of narrative and strategy, Inkle’s Pendragon tells a unique tale with each move you make. The Finger Guns Review.
