King Arthur

Based on the epic 2004 motion picture, King Arthur for the PlayStation 2 is a gritty, cinematic hack-and-slash adventure that swaps fantasy tropes for the brutal realism of the Dark Ages. You can take command of Arthur, Lancelot, Guinevere, or other legendary Knights of the Round Table, each featuring a unique fighting style and devastating special moves as you battle across a war-torn Britain. The game seamlessly blends intense ground combat with high-speed cavalry charges, all framed by actual footage from the film to immerse you in its historical narrative. With its satisfying “one-versus-many” combat system and a rewarding character upgrade path, it’s a perfect pick for fans of Dynasty Warriors or The Lord of the Rings games who want to experience the legend of Excalibur through a lens of mud, blood, and steel.
