Developer Neocore Games has been slowly unveiling more information about their medieval strategy game King Arthur, a game they are calling a Role Playing Wargame.
Judging from the shots of both the battle engine and campaign maps, it looks a lot like a Creative Assembly game. But so did Imperial Glory, and it wasn’t much good.

My review of the medieval war game XIII Century: Death or Glory is up at Crispy Gamer. I didn’t like it all that much, which puts me at odds with the only other review online, Brett Todd’s positive review at Gamespot.
