King Arthur II: The Role-Playing Wargame, the turn-based strategy RPG by Neocore Games and Paradox Interactive, has now been released on the PC.

While trying to protect his kingdom, King Arthur suffered a wound which won’t heal and thus became the Maimed King.. and his land is suffering with him.  Camelot is in ruins, with the Knights of the Round Table scattered or turned against each other, and monsters roam the lands..

Players take control of a small army of warriors, attempting to uncover the dark forces at work in the lands of ancient Britannia.  Gameplay consists of a mixture of strategic and tactical phases, with a large campaign map for strategic actions such as moving armies and completing story-driven quests, and tactical battles taking place when two armies meet.  Battles can take place under the direct command of the player, with numerous tactics to choose from, or they can be Auto-Resolved for an instant decision.

The King Arthur II demo, featuring the tutorial and first mission, is available for download here.
