Upon the death of his father, Bradwen, the illegitimate son of a king, is banished from the kingdom by his half-brother, Morganor. To obtain justice and recover his lands, he must become a Knight of the Round Table. Wandering through an England pillaged by Saxons, where faith in a new God co-exists with the oldest of superstitions, players assuming this role must successfully accomplish many quests before¾or if¾they will ever achieve glory...

Like the other games in the "Legends" series¾The Time Machine, Odyssey¾Arthur's Knights uses the Cryogen engine, which combines pre-engineered décor with characters and objects in real-time 3D. An Encyclopaedia of Celtic Legends has been included in the game so that players can explore the authentic context of that era.
