    First of all, let me start by saying that this is a good game which does quite a lot of things very well. I don’t regret buying it. I am happy to have it in my library. Yet, unfortunately, it has a few cardinal sins that personally are dealbreakers for me. And because of that, I won’t finish it. Let me also add that I haven’t played the Camelot prequel to this game. At first glance, it looked pretty similar to Expeditions Rome. Which I liked very much. Combat, storytelling, gameplay, in all…

    To be clear - I love the game and the gameplay loop, combat, character progression, everything. I think Arthur Knights's Tale was GOTY and I loved every second of it. But playing as these undead ♥♥♥♥♥♥ jokers is seriously lame. Why can't you give us real, alive and cool-looking roman soldiers? Instead you gave us those silly skeletor-meme guys in goofy masks. It looks like there was a contest of who can came up with the most idiotic mask and the winners made it to the team. To add insult to…

    I'd love to be able to recommend this game, but I can't - it's just too short. The turn-based combat is great! The story is engaging to start with and the character levelling and loot are great, but I finished the main campaign in 8 hours! After that there are no more characters to be found, no more levels to be gained and almost all the loot you find is useless because you already have the best loot available. There's lots more content, but it is just an endless parade of repetitive, rather…

    If you liked Knight's Tale and are looking for more of the same from this, your disappointment will be immeasurable and your day will be ruined. It's less and it's worse. It's a much lesser game than the original in every aspect. It re-uses levels and assets, except making them worse - for example there was a maze level, that I actually got lost in while playing the original, but in this it's just a corridor, there's literally only 1 way to go. Which brings me to the next point - it's much…

    RANKING: AVOID | FLAWED | MAYBE | WORTHWHILE | COMPELLING | UNMISSABLE SYNOPSIS: ASSESSMENT: Legion IX (L9) is a condensed standalone version of Knight's Tale (KT) played from the Roman standpoint. High on style, its an attractive looking title with quality audiovisuals. The campaign is shorter and gameplay a little more simplified.

The below is for people who already played King Arthur: Knight's Tale. If you haven't played that game, you should play that one first. This is essentially a stripped down version of the first game (cheaper too, so doesn't bother me much). - The voice acting budget went out the window on this one, going from Mordred to…

    I really tried to like this game, but I just couldn’t stick with it. "King Arthur: Legion IX" starts with a lot of hype and promise, but it quickly turns repetitive and loses its spark. It’s not a bad game by any means, but it just didn’t manage to keep my interest. If there were a neutral rating on Steam, I would’ve chosen that. Since it’s not an option, I’m leaving a thumbs down—not because the game is terrible, but because there are simply better games out there that offer more value for…

The morality system is simplified and the ending crisis involves just grind, without any actual dialogue or story like for the rest of the game.

    Original title 'King Arthur: A Knight's Tale' was somehow appealing. It had it's own different atmosphere and made me play it. As for Legion IX, I would not recommend it. Nothing new, nothing attractive but only old maps and random combat. Story is garbage. Dead roman soldiers risen from death but true to their roman identity and are on pursuit to make a roman settelement.

    All modern kingdoms situated on the Boro Sea trace their origins back to the Arzhurian Empire of High King Brenin Arzhur. Ossedei is literally a video game world, and Arzhur is an obvious knock off of King Arthur, but with a story closer to Alexander the Great and Charlemange.

    Basically "King Arthur: Knight's Tale" but with undead romans as the main party. There is the addition of ultimate moves you have to charge over multiple battles, but i didn't use them much - it's just a nice gimmick. And "Lars", who give global negative+positive bonuses. The main difference is that your party is now fixed. You got these 6 heroes and you can use the same tactic for each battle since the party doesn't change (except when one may be absent). This makes the battles a bit boring.…

However, story is much shorter and characters building feels much trimmed down to a simpler version in this game. Game content is just not as much as the original. Most importantly, there are even bugs in some areas and the Devs didn’t fix them for a long time. Seems this game has been already abandoned by the…

    The gameplay is great, but just like the original King Arthur, the difficulty spikes are nightmarish. Work up to play the game on hard, or very hard, then hit the endgame and it is impossible. Be ready, bc if you have a few hundred hours in King Arthur, normal will be too easy, but then the jump to hard or very hard will have a few fights which seem impossible despite just crushing it on normal or hard.

Legion IX suffers the one same problem as Knight's tale - long, repetitive, meaningless, and unfulfilling endgame, but the main story was at least enjoyable.

The post-game content is all recycled enemies and environments and you will likely be at max level with gear that won't really get outclassed by whatever drops and it is generally just a slog. Like other reviews have mentioned you can lose a party member permanently based on your decisions essentially leaving you 1 character short the rest of the game.
