New Yankee in King Arthur's Court 4 Collector's Edition

Not all strategy games require you to raise armies and defeat foes, because you can apply clever tactics in many other areas, not just on the battlefield. Granted, strategy games with no warfare can be a bit dull if the developers do not include enough fun mechanics, but that’s where time management flicks come into play, because they are usually very fast-paced and addictive.

New Yankee in King Arthur's Court 4 is a time management game taking place in a medieval setting, and your goal is to solve a couple of quests in order to help a knight show his valor. There are all sorts of interesting missions along the way, not to mention the fact that humor is a big part of the experience too, so you are always having a good time, regardless of the fact that you are basically gathering crops.

The story revolves around a funny knight by the name of Sir John, and he is quite keen on adventures. Hence, you follow him around as he tries to defeat evil foes and get to the bottom of many legends of myths. In actual gameplay terms, you undertake a succession of levels with a variety of objectives, most of which require you to gather resources or build things on the map.

In case you choose the normal game mode, it’s important to keep an eye on the timer as well, because you have a limit amount of time at your disposal in order to accomplish the objectives. Depending on how quickly you manage to do so, the game rewards you with extra points at the end of each stage. You can also use your prestige to acquire certain bonuses that make your life a bit easier along the way.

Although the top-down perspective is pretty limiting in many regards, New Yankee in King Arthur's Court 4 looks very smooth for a casual game, especially since the characters appear to be three-dimensional. There are many intermissions sporting hand-drawn artwork as well, which helps a lot with immersion, especially since the scenes are pretty humorous.

Thanks to the two difficulty levels, New Yankee in King Arthur's Court 4 should be accessible to everyone, regardless of whether you are just starting out or you are already a veteran. Hence, it’s a great way to spend your spare time and put your strategy skills to the test.
