About Spirit of Excalibur

Spirit of Excalibur is a game set in the aftermath of King Arthur's death, where the player acts as a regent attempting to stabilize a kingdom descending into chaos. The narrative progresses through distinct episodes focused on reuniting the scattered Knights of the Round Table and confronting threats from Mordred's sons and Morgan LeFay.

Gameplay involves navigating a real-time map where character groups travel, with the ability to switch to a detailed scene view for managing inventory and interacting with specific locations or characters. Reassembling the fellowship is a central task, made challenging by the knights' personal conflicts, which require specific conditions or messengers to secure their allegiance.

The overarching objective across the episodes is to reclaim the throne and restore order to Britain by engaging in a war against those seeking to claim it for themselves.
