About Knights of the Round

Knights of the Round is a side-scrolling action game set within Arthurian legend. Players control one of three knights, including King Arthur, Sir Lancelot, and Sir Percival, on a quest to locate the Holy Grail and restore peace to a chaotic land.

The core activity involves moving across the screen and engaging enemies with melee weapons. Defensive actions like blocking are executed with a button press. A character progression system is present, where defeating foes and gathering gold grants experience. This development directly enhances a knight's capabilities, such as attack power and movement speed, and is visually reflected through upgraded armor and weapons.
