I'm a big fan of T-RPG and mixing some Arthurian lore into the mix seemed like a good idea.
The game wants you to be immerged in a grim and broken Anglia, and aims to start off strong by having your kingdom ravaged and you leading a bunch of survivors (inclunding a not-so-useful Merlin) to seek alliances with the other kingdoms, claim your vengeance and of course, rescue the princess.
Right at the beginning, I was skeptical : so an enemy army and disgruntled local nobles just waltzed in here, nobody saw anything coming and everything is decided in one fell swoop ?

Well, you should no expect a strong story. If I only played about two hours, it is because the characters are really not compelling and the grimdark aspect seems a bit forced. Dialogues are not inspired either.
Alas, the gameplay is nothing to be amazed at either. The game wants you to use conveniently placed barrels again and again, like it's some sort of crowning achievement for environmental control. Merlin, a sorcerer, starts off without any damaging spell or way to attack at a distance. Spam the willpower of each chacter (bonus of action points, action and defense for one turn) to secure victory with relative ease. The AI rushes quite happily into your units in overwatch.

I do not think much of the achievements, but it's a great indicator on Steam to see how much a game is really played. When not even 10% go all the way through the end, it's quite telling.
All in all, when you have already experienced great titles like Fire Emblem, X-Com or Divinity Original Sin II, even when taking into account this here is a much humbler game, you probably won't be satisfied.
