I played Guinevere ages ago and I really really enjoyed it. I generally like those text choice games! I tried some of the other arthurian videogames (the King Arthur war game similar to Age of Empire, the Sword Legacy Omen and Pendragon). I really enjoyed Pendragon (by Inkle), it is a short and surprisingly rich game where you can control different characters to stop Mordred! IT IS HARD THO, I don't think I ever won.

Sword Legacy Omen seemed interesting, but I actually returned it (on steam). I was not in the mood because it seemed quite generic, and I dislike games with perma-death.

In general I am very very picky with games, and I usually play only rpg, so it is hard to find a good arthurian one.

BUT YEAH I LOVED BASTARD OF CAMELOT!!! My Mordred was a little shit, but idealistic. So he wanted to make his mom happy, but also was angry... and yet hopeful, towards Arthur. He liked Galahad also, and was kind of antagonistic towards him for a while.

MAKES ME WANT TO PLAY IT AGAIN

Inkle’s PENDRAGON giveaway!

I recently played this amazing arthurian game by probably one of my favorite videogame companies (Inkle). The game is based on Camlann/the end of Arthur’s kingdom, and you will choose an arthurian character to recruit allies and get to Camlann where you will have to side with Arthur and help him against Mordred. The game starts with Lancelot or Guinevere, but you will be able to unlock more characters with more play-throughs. Inkle is also great at making their games extremely replayable, and I did about 5 playthroughs (the game is pretty short) and I still feel like I have so much to discover!

The game works a bit like chess, with some dialogue (and some interesting things happening!). 

The game will be out the 22nd of September for STEAM. 

GIVEAWAY

Because I already have a copy, but I also want to support them, I decided that the 22 of September I will buy the steam version of the game and gift it to a random person (selected through one of those randomized lists maker: selecting the first name).

How to partecipate:

This will be ongoing up till the 21st of September, so all reblogs post 21nd of September won’t be participating. 

The only thing I’d love in exchange for the game is that you leave an honest review for Pendragon on the steam page!

(Warning!! Possible issues: if the game is not available in your country, I fear I won’t be able to gift it, or if the price difference is more than 20% between the price of the game in Australia and your country. I that case I will have to move to another user :(  )

Pendragon Inkle

Just some general points about the game!

First of all. I am loving this! The tutorial makes it pretty easy to understand the mechanism. Second: the music is AMAZING and gives me flashbacks from Sorcery! (some tracks are the same, as they are from the same company) and Sorcery! is probably one of my favorite games ever so- A+.

Third: You can start with different characters but need to unlock them through playthroughs. Guinevere and Lancelot are the unlocked ones, and I honestly can’t to see WHO ELSE IS THERE.

And, we already know the game is post-Mordred’s betrayal and all about Camlann.

I just received my copy of the game Pendragon by inkle!! I'll do by best to review it by the end of next week. And when it comes out on Steam I'll definetely but another copy and do a giveaway!!
