I wasn’t sure it would make it but King Arthur: Knight’s Tale has reached its £115,000 Kickstarter goal, and with five days to spare.
King Arthur: Knight’s Tale is the dark fantasy XCOM-alike I wrote about in October, made by Van Helsing developer NeoCore Games.
It’s the one where you play as Mordred and have to stop Arthur’s dark forces from ravaging the lands. Yes, the roles are reversed. You see, after you killed each other, in the legend as everyone knows it, Arthur somehow came back from the dead with an evil army, so the Lady of the Lake thought oh well let’s get Mordred involved again too.

I think it looks quite good, all moody and grim and grey, like a lovely old graveyard, with enemies that are twisted and grotesque. And then there’s the appealing kingdom layer spread on top, where you can control the lands and Camelot, recruiting from the Roundtable there.
