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.

IGN: 6 / 10 by Will Borger

Tainted Grail: The Fall of Avalon has some grand ideas, and it nails a lot of what it tries, but uneven difficulty, a few poor design choices, and a Holy Grail’s worth of bugs prevent it from finding greatness.

Full Review

Impulsegamer: 4.9 / 5

I'm always keen to dive into an RPG and open RPG's provide a satisfying level of freedom but if the story telling isn't there then interest can fade quickly. Tainted Grail: The Fall Of Avalon doesn't just hold that interest… it keeps piquing it. When you build your world upon an established legend it can be tempting to let the existing elements do all the heavy lifting… here that legend is simply the starting point and helps colour the world, but the new Lore is what really brings it to life! If you are a fan of the Arthurian legend you might well enjoy this furthering of the stories. If you enjoy open world RPG games… then definitely grab a copy!

Capsule Computers: 7.5 / 10 by Travis Bruno

Tainted Grail: The Fall of Avalon offers a dark, unique take on Arthurian legend with strong storytelling and engaging combat, but frequent bugs and crashes make for a frustrating experience.
