After vigorous beta testing that ensured the most manliest men survived, indie developer Transhuman Design has brought their 2D war game King Arthur’s Gold live to Steam. Featuring explosions, manly men in tights, sharks and the ability to use your shield as a surfboard, King Arthur's Gold isn't your usual action platformer.

King Arthur's Gold is a multiplayer game played with up to 32 players.
Build castles and wage war on the enemy team as a knight, archer or builder in a fully destructible medieval world. It blends the best cooperative aspects of Lost Vikings, mashes them with Worms, with the visual style of Metal Slug, made by the creators of Soldat.

If you feel like you are missing out on this medieval building fighting chicken flying simulator then hit up the Steam page for all the gory pixelated details or check out the launch trailer below that is sure to inspire you on the battlefield. King Arthur's Gold is available Windows, Linux and Mac OS X at a price point of $9.99, though the game currently has a 10% discount for the first week of availability.
