How it plays
How does Knights of the Round play?
The game is viewed from a horizontal side-scrolling perspective. Players advance through six stages, defeating waves of soldiers, monsters, and armored opponents before confronting a stage boss.
Arthur, Lancelot, and Perceval use normal attacks, jumping attacks, defensive actions, and a limited special attack. Enemies can drop food for health and money that improves equipment. As the adventure continues, the knights gain stronger weapons and armor, while later stages increase enemy variety and difficulty.
Plan your run
What is the best way to play Knights of the Round?
Stay near the center of the screen so approaching enemies remain visible, and avoid being surrounded. Prioritize archers and other ranged attackers before engaging slower armored enemies.
Use the guard or defensive timing against large attacks, then punish enemies during their recovery. Collect food immediately when health is low, and preserve the special attack for bosses or dense groups rather than spending it on isolated enemies.

- 2
Break or attack treasure containers when safe, since food and money are valuable during longer stages.

Bosses are easier when attacked after their committed animation rather than during their initial approach.
