About

Avalon is dying. King Arthur is long gone, and Knights of the Round Table are in disarray. Guardian Menhirs, the only thing that makes it possible for humans to survive in this remote land, are going dark. Your village chose its best and brightest and sent them on an epic quest to reach Kamelot, find the Grail, and save the land.
You were not among them.
They’ve never returned, and now it’s your turn to lead a band of unlikely heroes, the only ones this land can still provide. These ordinary people set off far too late, under-equipped for the task ahead, and with little hope of success.
Tainted Grail is a dark fantasy open-world RPG with fresh turn-based exploration and combat. It is based around deep, immersive story from one of the best and most innovative board games (biggest Kickstarter project of 2018!), but introduces a whole new experience crafted directly for PC.EVERY DECISION MATTERSTainted Grail is a deeply immersive experience that takes the best elements of RPG adventures and brings them to the next level through intricately branching storylines. Written by Krzysztof Piskorski, one of the best Polish fantasy writers, it will draw you right in and keep you engaged, surprised, and invested in many secrets of Avalon.
In this dying world, no decision is easy or morally obvious, and you will often face impossible choices. Other times, the consequences of seemingly minor actions will haunt you in the least expected moments. In the end, your impact on Avalon is going reverberate through deep, meaningful changes to the game world - entire towns will raise or fall, land will shatter, ancient powers will be restored, or broken forever.EXPLORE THE UNKNOWNA major part of the game involves expeditions into the land covered by the Wyrdness, an ancient force twisting people, creatures, and even space itself in all manner of ways .There will be plenty of enemies and weird, unexpected events waiting for you. While dangerous, exploration will be the only way to gather precious resources and, ultimately, to figure out what is happening to Avalon and if it can be stopped.STRATEGIC COMBATDuring combat, you will decide between using skills specific for your hero and figuring out the best possible combinations to do it. Every hero will bring a different playstyle, defined by unique skills, that you will continue to further develop based on your favorite tactic. You will supplement this rich toolset with various items and special moves. All of that makes every encounter a different and exciting tactical challenge!

Tainted Grail: The Fall of Avalon reviews and comments

One of the best RPGs that I've played in recent memory.

I've played games like Skyrim, The witcher, Fallout, and I would put this game right next to them on the level.

You just gotta keep in mind that this is not a AAA game, so you will find some rough edges and a bit outdated graphics.
But it more than makes up for that in every other aspect!

-> An amazing and interesting world, that is filled with lore and soul. Where you are guaranteed to find something interesting in every nook and cranny. (Not in stupid checklist Ubisoft kind of way, but actually fun & interesting way)

-> Great quests and characters. I rarely do all the quests in any open world game. But this was one of the very rare exceptions. Cause most quests were unique and fun in their own way.

-> I loved the main story even though it doesn't take up more than 10% of your experience time. But when you are playing it or interacting with your King of all Kings, it's sooo good!

-> And best of all, the gameplay is actually solid & fun!
It took The Elder Scrolls five entries and they still haven't managed to make their gameplay fun. Even The Witcher 3 gameplay was for me a 7/10 at best. But Tainted Grail managed to achieve what those others failed to do right from their first game! Other games should learn from what they did here.

-> The skill tree is also not too complicated, but varied enough that it allows you to build various builds according to your liking. (Heavy fighter, mage, mage-fighter, mage-archer, summoner-mage, assassin, ...etc).
Though you could make some very broken builds that would make it easy to breeze through the game after some point. But I advise to not do that cause it would rob the fun out of it. (There are difficulty level that could be adjusted at any time if you get stuck on a particular boss that you just want to finish)

So in conclusion; I wholeheartedly recommend this game to anyone who likes open-world RPG games with great stories and world.
9/10.

Gameplay is about what you'd expect from this type of game. Story is interesting, though doesn't live up to the intro IMO.
