King Arthur: The Role-playing Wargame – The Saxons Review

Resolution Magazine has slapped up a brief review of The Saxons, NeoCore Games’ downloadable expansion pack for King Arthur: The Role-playing Wargame. Here’s the conclusion that brings them to a score of 6/10:

The Saxons just reminded me of the pitfalls of offering extra content via digital downloads rather than in retail. Now in a world of micro-transactions, expansions seem to be getting smaller and smaller and less interesting. I don’t want to be constantly forking out a few quid here and there for new bits of game that should have really been in there to begins with. It’s like walking down the street with a ton of coins and a hole in your pocket. Or you could just choose to ignore it all until something with a bit more depth comes along. The Saxons just makes it into the category of having ‘˜a bit more depth’ but only just. Fans of the game will probably get a lot of enjoyment from it but for people who didn’t like King Arthur: The Roleplaying Wargame I can only say this; why the hell are reading this in the first place?
