Play as Arthur, Lancelot, or Percival in this medieval side scrolling beat-'em-up from Capcom.
Knights of the Round plays virtually identically to its contemporary games. All three characters have an attack button and jump button. Pressing the attack button several times performs powerful combination attacks, while pressing back attack allows the knights to block most incoming attacks. By pressing both attack and jump at the same time, the knights will perform a powerful spinning attack which will knock back nearby enemies, at the expense of some of the hero's lifebar. Additionally, the knights can mount horses, which vastly increases their combat prowess.
Though the characters play very similarly, each knight has strengths and weaknesses.
- Arthur is the balanced character, with decent speed and strength.
- Lancelot is a speedy character, with great maneuverability but less strength.
- Percival is a large, slow character, who has very powerful attacks.
Knights of the Round did have a feature rarely seen in brawlers. As the knights dispatched enemies, they gained experience which increased their stats and made them more effective in combat. As each character leveled up, their appearance changed as well. For instance, Percival starts the game with blond hair and a bare chest. As he levels up, he becomes bald, with much bulkier armor.
