As far as Western mythology goes, the legend of King Arthur is one of the most enduring stories we have. Kept alive for hundreds of years, these tales have been told and reimagined, again and again, each with a unique take on this classic tale. That is where we begin Pendragon, inkle’s newest game, with a well-researched and carefully crafted, every-changing tale.
TSA writes: Set in Arthurian England in 673 AD, Pendragon is a narrative turn-based strategy game from Inkle, the indie studio behind 80 Days and Heaven’s Vault. Opening shortly after the dissolution of the Knights of the Round Table, you are tasked with rallying to King Arthur’s side as he prepares to confront the evil Mordred in the battle at Camlann. At first glance, you’d be forgiven for thinking that Pendragon is a simple game when compared to Inkle’s previous titles, but there’s a lot more to this Arthurian tale than first meets the eye – or indeed, the first playthrough.
COG writes: Rather than a traditional RPG or strategy game, Pendragon plays like an impressionistic take on a classic Nintendo formula.
Pendragon is an extremely dynamic and adaptable narrative experience, and one which makes excellent use of the rich source material of Arthurian legend.
