King Arthur's Gold is a fun-focused, dynamic action game created under the responsibility of Michal Marcinkowski and TransHuman Design's development team led by him. Players build their own fortress and fortifications, and then try to defend themselves against enemy attacks and at the same time conquer their stronghold. The production is maintained in the 16-bit style.

King Arthur's Gold is the work of an independent TransHuman Design studio under the direction of Michal Marcinkowski, the creator of the famous Soldat shooter. Developers have decided to combine elements of such games as Minecraft, Dwarf Fortress, Age of Empires 2 and Team Fortress 2, creating an explosive mix that they themselves call "build'n kill". (build and kill).

The action of the game was set in medieval realities enriched with elements of fantasy. The task of the players is to build a fortress, able to repel the attacks of opponents, as well as to conquer an enemy stronghold (in which various siege machines and war technologies are helpful).

The game was designed for multi-player fun with a maximum of 64 participants divided into two competing teams. Each player controls the actions of one character, and his tasks depend on the chosen class - worker, knight or archer. Success in a skirmish usually depends on ingenuity, good teamwork and proper use of skills assigned to each of the heroes.

King Arthur's Gold offers five multiplayer variants as standard: Creative Sandbox, Capture the Flag, Team Deathmatch, Gold Rush and Zombie Invasion. They are complemented by scenarios for a solo game (snigle-player), which are a kind of tutorial, introducing the game into the arcana.

TransHuman Design's production is distinguished by an unconventional audiovisual setting, which is stylized on the era of 16-bit computers. The creators of King Arthur's Gold decided on two-dimensional graphics and a view from the side, characteristic for platformers, which fits well with the dynamic action-oriented gameplay. Elements such as a precise physics engine (including the parabolic missile flight path and the effect of an earthquake after the collapse of large fragments of the structure) and changing day and night cycles have not been forgotten. The whole is complemented by extensive social functions, allowing players to communicate with each other during the game.
