Knights of the Round is a classic 1991 side-scrolling beat’em up from Capcom and is one of seven games contained in the Capcom Best’em Up Collection. In the game, based loosely on the Arthurian myth, you play as either Arthur, Lancelot or Perceval and travel across various vistas to defeat the dreaded King Garibaldi, no relation to the biscuit.

The game is similar in style to Golden Axe but is slow and repetitive and feels like a slog. Even though it is 7 levels long they are laborious and feature repetitive enemies. It’s a shame as the premise is a good one. Oh well!
