This game is just one giant, horrible, nasty atrocity. It's a frustrating nightmare, from start to finish. The navigation system between areas is just plain annoying - you're on a horse, and you must ride down roads, paths, and such to get to the next area. The trouble is that there's no compass, and the perspective changes constantly, making it really difficult to remember where you've been and how you might get to the next area. The horse is quite slow as well, and there doesn't seem to be a way to skip to different areas quickly. Normally, I'm a huge fan of RPGs, but this one left me cold. I didn't finish this game - in fact, I quit after only 3 hours. That in itself is saying something. In addition to the navigation problems, there's the issue of the verbal clues - an NPC can go on and on, and there's no written log of what was said. Further, there are glitches within the games that disallow going into areas multiple times, historical inaccuracies, and not terribly great graphics. The voice of the knight is truly annoying, and the soundtrack is uninspired.Read full review
As mainly an RTS gamer I am finding AK refreshingly streamlined and unencumbered. Basically, it's a game of wits where you can pursue one of two unique, separate quests: as a Celtic warrior or a Christian knight. Like Myst, you search for clues in a first person mode, with only your direction keys, space bar and right-mouse actions to guide you. On your journey, you proceed through "chapters" in the storyline, moving from one quest to another, answering riddles and gaining knowledge, tools and weapons from characters you encounter along the way (e.g. fairies, warriors, giants, kinsmen, Merlin, Arthur, etc). No resources to gather, armies to build, trade pacts to manage, etc. (just the break I needed!) The game play and graphics are captivating, the puzzles and quests enjoyable (yet not too difficult).Read full review
