Our take on King Arthur: Legion IX
Players may hit a wall when battles require careful party composition and layered use of cover, traps, flanking, overwatch, and opportunity attacks. The resource decisions in Nova Roma can add another sticking point for anyone who wants combat without stronghold management.

Lead Gaius Julius Mento, commander of an undead Roman legion, through a dark-fantasy campaign in Avalon.
The game combines turn-based tactical combat with character-focused RPG systems across 15 handcrafted missions.
