About Camelot 10000CE

Camelot 10000CE is a dark fantasy action game by Deep Root Interactive released January 31, 2026. It blends post-apocalyptic sci-fi with Arthurian legend, casting you as a broken cyborg in a decaying world. The game’s standout feature is its typing-based combat system, you physically type commands to move and attack. It runs on PC, Linux, and Mac. The single-player story follows your search for the Grail, set in a world where knights and AI coexist. It’s a niche title for players who enjoy unconventional mechanics and atmospheric storytelling.

Gameplay

You control a cyborg with limited mobility, using keyboard inputs to navigate and fight. Combat requires typing words like “left” or “punch” to execute actions, which slows pacing but adds strategic depth. Each battle is a test of reflexes and vocabulary, misspelling a command can mean death. Between fights, you explore crumbling castles and interact with AI-driven NPCs. The typing mechanic forces deliberate play; rushing leads to mistakes. Missions often involve solving environmental puzzles with text-based prompts. Sessions average 2, 4 hours, with frequent respawns balancing challenge and progression.

PlayPile's Take

Camelot 10000CE is a polarizing pick for fans of experimental mechanics. The typing system is its defining trait, it either frustrates or fascinates. At $39.99, it’s a mid-tier indie with a clear niche. Achievements reward persistence, but don’t mask grindy sections. Best suited for players who enjoy cerebral challenges over fast reflexes. If you’re okay with a steep learning curve and appreciate blending genres, it’s worth a shot. Others may find it tedious.
