The verdict
A deep, dark Arthurian XCOM-like with strong tactical combat, build variety and Camelot management, but it grows repetitive and the endgame spikes hard. Skip it if repetition bothers you.
Great for
Turn-based tactics fans who like XCOM or Darkest Dungeon, Arthurian lore, and building a party of knights
Main risk
Missions and fights become repetitive and bloated, with a harsh stat-inflated endgame
