Elder-Geek gives it a "Worth Buying":
Overall, King Arthur: The Role-playing Wargame does a great job in taking RTS features and fusing them with RPG elements to create a unique gaming experience. Strategy fans and fans of the Arthurian legend would not be disappointed as this game does not have as complicated of a learning curve as other RTS games such as the intimidating, in-depth game play of the Total War series. For those slightly more casual RTS gamers, this would be a nice buy.
While Hooked Gamers gives it an 8.0/10:
It is difficult to convey the full richness of the gaming experience that King Arthur: The Role-Playing Game's offers. I hope my review has given you some idea of what to expect but even after several days of playing I have the sense that there are many things still to discover. At this point, you may wonder why I did not award the game a higher score. The answer lies in some of its shortcomings, the most important of which is how the game controls its difficulty factor, especially early on in the game. Enemy rulers seem to have an inordinate amount of cash to spend on crack units while you are still researching stronger units yourself. Additionally, as you can only play as Arthur and follow the same story, the replay value is somewhat limited. Fortunately much of that is alleviated by the order and availability of quests so that the adventure never plays out quite the same. So don't let these small shortcomings put you off. King Arthur: The Role-Playing Wargame is one of the most refreshing strategy titles I have played in a long time. Go play!
