Tainted Grail: The Fall of Avalon is an RPG set in a fantasy world inspired by Arthurian legends, developed by the independent Polish studio Awaken Realms Digital.

The project was completed partially using funds raised from a crowdfunding campaign to create a board game under the same title. The crowdfunding for the board game Tainted Grail: The Fall of Avalon was a huge success. Suffice it to say that gathering the necessary amount took less than a minute, while a total of nearly 5 million pounds was collected.

During development, the concept of the game completely changed. Initially the developers planned to create an isometric RPG, but they ultimately decided to present the action from a first-person perspective (FPP).

Gameplay

Tainted Grail: The Fall of Avalon features an open world. While exploring it, we discover grim locations and meet their inhabitants, complete various quests, and also make choices that affect the course of the story.

Tainted Grail: The Fall of Avalon review: In the shadow of Oblivion

It’s clear that The Fall of Avalon aims for Bethesda-level ambition without the resources to fully back it up. Still, beneath the rough edges lies a rich RPG experience that—when it works—keeps you engaged for hours.

Got your hopes up for Chernobylite 2? This could go either way, but there's another AA Eurojank RPG on the horizon. Tainted Grail: The Fall of Avalon is a kind of „little Skyrim,” which may turn out to have a great story.

Tainted Grail: Fall of Avalon has a lot of promise but maybe it just wasn't ready to be released just yet. It needed a bit more time to iron out some major issues like the regular crashes that can be triggered by all sorts.
