Knights of the Round is an action-adventure game where you play as one of three knights from the Arthurian legends: Sir Lancelot, Sir Percival, or King Arthur.
The story revolves around a man who pulls Excalibur from a rock, signifying his right to be king and bring peace to Britain. However, chaos plagues the land, and the only way to restore order is by finding the holy grail, hidden for over 1,000 years. Arthur sets out on this quest with Percival and Lancelot by his side.
The gameplay involves scrolling through levels, fighting enemies with a sword or axe depending on your chosen character. You can also block and parry with opponents using a simple button press. Collecting points by killing enemies and picking up gold allows you to upgrade your character's attack and speed, as well as change their armour and weapons.
