The Business: The Professor Shows Why Vidya Is Better For Conventional Play, Again

Professor DM did a review.

Why in the world is this not a videogame?

This is nothing like what the hobby audience wants; the tell is that it's a variant of Pendragon, and while I respect that game I know damn well that it doesn't even rise to the level of Call of Cthulhu or Champions in terms of Games People Actually Fucking Play. This is "Fighter: The Game" to most, and you could easily do this as a boardgame and have better success- oh wait, there is one.

And as for videogames, well, let's just say that some subsets are saturated; you'll want to try something different.

(There's more. Look at your leisure.)

But look again at how this Tabletop product is pitched, and you'll see what model of game this would be better served being as a videogame.

This, but mixed with Rogue Legacy (so each run contributes to the success of the next), would be far more successful than wasting it in Tabletop.

As it is, this is a very pretty coffee table art book vanity project pretending to be a proper game that no one will play because no one but the owner (maybe) wants to; they want "real RPGs" where they can be what they want, and the vast majority of people do not want to be knights, and never have.

That means D&D. Just play D&D, where you can do solo knight adventures on the side anyways.
