Play Spirit Of Excalibur Online

Spirit of Excalibur is a fantasy role-playing game released for MS-Dos in 1990. Developed by Synergistic Software, Inc. and published by Virgin Mastertronic Ltd., the game presents a narrative set in Britain following the death of King Arthur. It utilizes an engine similar to that of the earlier title War in Middle Earth, shifting the setting to the Arthurian legends.

The player assumes the role of a regent attempting to maintain order from the throne as chaos spreads across the land. The story is divided into sequential episodes with the overarching objective of restoring the kingdom of Camelot. Initial tasks involve locating and persuading the scattered Knights of the Round Table to reunite, a process complicated by interpersonal conflicts that require specific characters or incentives to resolve. The long-term goal is to wage war against the sons of Mordred, who seek their father's throne, and to counter the schemes of the sorceress Morgan LeFay.

Gameplay operates on two distinct levels. The primary view is a real-time strategic map where the player directs groups to travel between various locations. When a group arrives at a significant site or encounters another party, the perspective shifts to a side-view scene focused on that group. In this detailed scene mode, players can manage their party and interact with the environment, primarily by picking up, dropping, or using key quest items to solve puzzles and advance the narrative.
