King Arthur: Fallen Champions Released Today!
New York September 16th, 2011 O followers of King Arthur, kneel and listen! Paradox Interactive and Neocore Games have unleashed the noble heroes of King Arthur: Fallen Champions today!
King Arthur: Fallen Champions, the standalone, story-driven game which bridges the gap between the prior title and its upcoming sequel, King Arthur II, entrusts players with guiding a band of unlikely warriors through their stories by way of bloody tactical combat across the battlefields of Britannia. King Arthur: Fallen Champions is now available for $9.99 on all major digital distribution channels.
King Arthur: Fallen Champions relies on a story-based, mission-to-mission plot. Players will choose missions and upgrade heroes. Each hero has his own storyline and each of these storylines incorporates three battles, adding up to a total of nine skirmishes plus the confrontation with the major foe in the 10th battle.
King Arthur: Fallen Champions tells the tale of three brave souls. A knight, an enchantress, and a prophet – these three will become champions of a forgotten battle that began long, long ago.
Sir Lionel, a noble knight who ventures out to the aid of a damsel in distress; Lady Corrigan of the Sidhe, a twilight creature trying to find her way home; and Drest the Chosen, a Northern shaman driven onward by visions and voices. The three will ultimately join forces as champions against an ancient and long-forgotten evil. Each of the three heroes has a unique storyline for their specific adventure with different quests, battles and fights.
To celebrate the release, Steam has a 24 hour promotion that gives 75% off King Arthur Collection – check out the offer here: http://store.steampowered.com/
