Join brave sir Lootalot on his epic quest in this little Zelda-lite adventure. Explore and fight your way through the dangerous dungeons filled with traps, puzzles and magical artifacts. And, of course, show the evil bosses who is the real boss here.
Knightin'+ draws inspiration from adventure games of previous generations and presents a 100% dungeon action without an outside world to explore. If its visual environment does a good job, more variety on the dungeons' nature could help, as well as some outdoor exploration. As it is, Knightin'+ ends up too repetitive and short and without much to offer...
A decent little game for a reasonable price, but it's kept so simple it can be often confusing and unsatisfying to play. The humour and tongue-in-cheek ideology is fun to participate in. The basic premise, minimal weaponry, and simple but brain-bending puzzles build towards a superb game that never quite manages to lift itself from mediocrity.
As a retro throwback, Knightin misses the mark. Making a game based on the worst parts of its inspiration unsurprisingly leads to a mostly negative experience.
What it all boils down to is that Knightin'+ struggled to keep me engaged. The lack of an overworld of any type makes it ultimately forgettable. For $5.99, you'll get a strictly average title.
In a world where Zelda is king, indie titles take on the top-down formula in order to serve as effective- if not short lived- knights of the genre.
