Awesome.

JuicyBeast with yet another highly addicting upgrade game :D

~ KNIGHTMARE TOWER: REVIEW ~

PRESENTATION: 10
So user-friendly and easily navigated menu which jumps straight to the gameplay without long, tiring tutorials, and starts off nice, easy, slow and fun, right off the bat. It's the ideal first impression a game should have, and you nailed it.

GRAPHICS: 10
So clean, simple and smooth-looking, yet with great details which make the enemies brings forth the eeriness of the enemies and makes them most interesting and appealing to the player. I must really say that the art in this game is beyond great, it's brilliant. All the different evolutions of the same type of enemies was really creative and made me look forward to see the next evolutions in the higher towers as I progressed through the game. From tiny and innocent looking, to big, monstrous and scary looking evolutions with the amazing imagination of yours, which includes wizards with cool powers and fire-breathing dragons, this game becomes very interesting, and gives the player the urge to continue playing. I just have to say it again, the graphics are unbelievably great, and yeah, I'm also talking about all the different awesome swords, armors and boots!

SOUND: 10
Befitting music for the setting of the game, and it barely gets old or repetitive - that's well executed!

GAMEPLAY: 9
From the moment I started playing this game, it already got interesting with its simple, yet super-fun gameplay! I couldn't believe such a concept would be so appealing and utmost interesting to play, and combined with all the quests, huge range of upgrades (which I absolutely love!!!), and so many different parts of the tower with ever-changing enemies (bigger, stronger and cooler), and also with a touch of humor (the last princess was hilarious :D), the gameplay is magically fast and enchantingly fun :)
However, I did find it a bit annoying at times to continuously fall down while trying to hit an enemy, which kinda frustrated me as I wanted to keep bashing the enemies, but that would've beaten the purpose of the game also having a bit difficulty. Also, I thought the boss was a bit ridiculous, I mean, it was kinda funny that you had rage comics quotes for the launch, but to portray the boss as one, was kinda unfitting for this rather excellent game. I would've liked it if the final boss was related to the setting of the game, of medieval characteristics, but the boss was just a bonus as the game without him was already more than enough for me :)

LASTING APPEAL: 10
I ended up playing this for more than 2 hours, and I still haven't maxed out all the different upgrades. The gameplay is fun, the graphics are amazing, and there are dozens of quests to be completed, which all make you want to keep playing the game. And if it wasn't enough, you unlock a survival mode with EVEN more quests, and the enemies there have different colors (that was totally unexpected, and made me like the game even more :D).

OVERALL: 9.5
There is so much to this flash game that it exceeds every possible limits, and like every JuicyBeast game, it provides hours and hours of fun, upgrading, quests and a diversity of areas to explore, each with their own characteristics, which all contribute to the ultimate fun factor this game presents to the player. Another excellent game by you guys, which deserves the score it has received. I'll be waiting for your next game :)

5/5 Simple but amazing. Why? i'll tell you why. Its simple but unique in it own way, and don't get me started about the upgrades, whoever else is reading this just play it and you WILL SEE what i mean. Keep up the good work JuicyBeast ;)

absolutely gorgeous!!

I never play launch games. I find them boring and repetitive. I thought this would be a sidescroller Beat 'em Up, and I was surprised to find that it wasn't. But as I progressed in the game, I realized this is actually a really great game. I hope to possibly see a second one!
