Digitally Downloaded gives it a 4.5/5:
Fans of the original King Arthur title from Paradox (and hopefully there are a lot of you out there), rest assured Paradox have done this sequel right. Those who weren't able to get into the previous game, take a second look at this one the tweaks are just enough that it's worth a second chance.
Calm Down Tom gives it a 9/10:
Overall this is probably one of the best turn based/RPG/RTS game's I've ever played. Hugelly enjoyable and immensly fun, I give this game my highest recomendation. Big props to Paradox Interactive and Neocore Games for making an incredibly polished, rewarding title that combines strategy and role-playing.
Cheat Code Central gives it a 3.3/5:
To the contrary, in King Arthur II, I found myself skipping battles whenever I could, and I stayed up late playing only because I had to write this review. That doesn't mean there's nothing to enjoy about this title, and, as they say, your mileage may vary. Only one thing is for certain: If you buy this game, you will spend a lot of time being read to.
And then Rock, Paper, Shotgun provides some initial impressions:
The game does feel a little awkward as a whole there are interface oddities such as upgrading skills requiring a double-click even though most everything else is singleclick or click and drag and again the presentation of the non-combat quests is about as inspiring as a traffic warden, but much will, I suspect, swim into better focus after more time with the game. I hope to return when my soccer saga is complete, and I look forward to hearing what Herr Stone reports about the later stages of the game.
