About Knights of the Round
Knights of the Round (1991) brings Capcom's beat 'em up action to the legend of King Arthur. You choose one of three knights and fight across a medieval world to unite Britain and find the Holy Grail. What sets it apart from other brawlers is progression: as you score points, your knight levels up, and their armor and weapon visibly change as they grow stronger.
The knights
- Arthur – the balanced choice, with a sword and good range.
- Lancelot – fast and agile, great for combos.
- Perceval – slow but extremely powerful with his axe.
What makes it special
- Level-ups that upgrade your armor, weapon and health.
- A guard move that blocks attacks – rare in beat 'em ups and essential on later stages.
- Horses you can ride into battle.
- Co-op for up to three players.
Tips
- Learn to guard: blocking at the right time is the key to the late stages.
- Collect treasure – it raises your score, and your score drives your level-ups.
- Lancelot is the best choice for beginners thanks to his speed.
