About Vengeance of Excalibur

Vengeance of Excalibur is a sequel continuing the story from Spirit of Excalibur. The narrative premise involves a new threat, the Shadowmaster, which emerges following the earlier defeat of Morgan Le Fay. This entity has captured the king and the enchantress Nineve, requiring the player to direct the kingdom's knights to confront it.

The experience is divided into seven distinct acts. It combines role-playing adventure with basic strategic combat systems. Players navigate a game world inspired by medieval Spain, containing numerous settlements and strongholds.

Movement between these points occurs on an overhead map. Each specific location is represented by a hand-painted backdrop that visually defines its environment. The control scheme is designed to be fair and relies primarily on a mouse-driven, iconic interface, with optional keyboard commands available for convenience.
