Gameplay

Capcom’s Knights of the Round, released in 1991, is a fighting game presented in a 2.5D perspective. Players choose from a cast of Arthurian-inspired knights and engage in one-on-one battles against opponents. The gameplay involves utilizing punches, kicks, throws, and special moves to deplete an enemy’s health bar while avoiding their attacks; players can move along a stage plane with limited depth. Up to three players can compete simultaneously, adding to the potential for chaotic multi-player matches. This version of Knights of the Round is an export release originally developed in Japan and runs on Capcom's proprietary CP System hardware. While primarily designed for arcade use, this title has seen subsequent releases on various home consoles including the Super Nintendo Entertainment System in Europe and North America, as well as appearing within collections like Capcom Classics Collection Vol. 2 for Xbox and PlayStation 2. It’s also available on Sony PSP through Capcom Classics Collection Reloaded. Further details about the game's original Japanese release can be found in a separate entry referencing B-Board number 89625B-1, which may contain additional information regarding its development and features.
