    As an RPG with roguelite elements and tactical turn-based combat, The Hand of Merlin doesn’t bring anything new to the table, but is engaging and quite pretty. It’s a shame that its feeble story squanders the potential of Arthurian legend. The game is also surprisingly short and can be completed in 4-6 hours, provided that you’re not forced to start over after losing the entire party. However, randomized elements and the ability to chose your path make The Hand of Merlin replayable.
