Now, King Arthur torments Avalon, and the Lady of the Lake makes a bold move: resurrecting Sir Mordred so that he may fulfil his prophecy once again.

It's an interesting premise that caught my attention right away. Although I looked forward to playing as King Arthur and charging into battle with the reputable Knights of the Round Table, I was also intrigued by playing as Sir Mordred and how that might shift the narrative.

King Arthur: Knight's Tale is a turn-based tactical RPG with a heavy focus on lore, and as such you will be listening to plenty of dialogue or reading a lot of text to further understand the lore and characters. Although it is an enjoyable experience - aside from some cringe-worthy lines by Sir Mordred that we'll get to later it is worth noting that a lot of the impact might be lost on those that aren't well-versed in Arthurian legend, unlike me.

Meeting heroes that I've heard of and experiencing the story with them is massively gratifying; my only worry was how the character of Sir Mordred would be written, seeing as he is both the antagonist of the legend and the protagonist of the game.
