One of the best hack 'n' slashers
Knights of the Round, or KoR, is one of those rare brawlers that you can't miss. And, it's one of the few games based on the Arthurian legend that is actually good.
In order to play it, you either need this cart, the arcade cabinet or Capcom's Arcade Classics Vol. 2.
This is a slightly different experience from the arcade version, however, as you have a limited number of continues.
I strongly recommend this title if you were a fan of Double Dragon or *any* of Capcom's brawlers - particularly the Dungeons and Dragons Mystara titles. The game is a decent challenge, combat is deeper than it looks, and it makes for great co-op, too.
The only thing that was a throwaway is that while the game has a slight RPG bent to it, the level ups seem superficial and only make your character look tougher. Other than that, fan-bloody-tastic title that no one should miss.
