On its own, the setting is detailed enough, and the game features a decent amount of lore. If you’re looking for a game that’s faithful to the history and the tales of old – this isn’t it. There’s even some lore about a legendary Empress by the name of Britannia, who once united the land. The monotheistic religion that’s slowly displacing the old faith has all the trappings of the medieval Christian Church – but worships a goddess called Terah. The Britannia of the game is a place where clockwork mechanisms, literacy, and other anachronisms of Britain during the Dark Ages are common. The only thing that’s common to both stories are the characters. It really doesn’t have much to do with the actual Arthurian legend.

Sword Legacy Omen is best thought of as taking place in its own setting. This prompts Uther to gather what allies he can, in order to avenge this wrong. When Gorlois attacks Mercia, Uther’s lord Leof is killed and Igraine captured. He and Igraine are secret lovers, but Igraine isn’t betrothed to anyone. Here, Uther is the Knight-Commander of Mercia: grim, harsh, and dedicated. While all the major players are represented in the game – the story told in Sword Legacy Omen is rather different. The two were wed after Gorlois’ death, and their son was Arthur – the Once And Future King. In the Arthurian legend, Uther was a prince and later a king who – in some versions aided by Merlin – carried out an affair with Igraine, wife of Duke Gorlois. Story and Setting Bold words for a guy with no backup. While not a game-changer, this 2018 title is a fun journey that doesn’t take too long to get through – ideal for waiting out that last week before the anticipated release. Developed by Firecast Studio and Fableware Narrative Design, it purports to be a twist on the legend of Uther Pendragon – father of King Arthur. One game on that list – Sword Legacy Omen, has really caught my eye. Just recently, we’ve taken a look at some grid-based tactical games to play while waiting for Triangle Strategy.
