Play Knights of the Round, 911127 etc) Online

Capcom released Knights of the Round in arcades in 1991, a time when side-scrolling beat 'em ups dominated the scene. It stood out by drawing from Arthurian legend, offering a familiar but distinct take on the genre with its medieval setting and character progression.

You control one of three knights—Arthur, Lancelot, or Percival—and fight through screen after screen of enemies using a mix of light and heavy attacks. The main goal is to defeat enemy leaders and reclaim the Holy Grail, advancing through varied environments like forests and castles. Key mechanics include mounting horses for increased mobility and power, as well as a leveling system that upgrades your armor and weapons after earning enough points. The pacing is brisk, and the difficulty encourages careful positioning rather than pure button mashing. It feels satisfying to land a well-timed heavy strike and send foes flying, especially with a friend joining in.
