Reviews for "Knightfall"
Beautiful enchanting game!
I started this game when it first came out around march of last year, got a decent ways into the mines, stopped playing. Got back into it recently, about a week ago, and I beat story mode tonight, it was a fun journey, I can't wait to see what part 2 is like, hopefully its way better and I hope it has the same great sound effects and music.
In my review posts, starting with this one, I'm going to start keeping a record of achievements and highscores I achieve playing games.
My achievements for this game, beating the story mode once so far:
1. Difficulty? Nay!
2. Nowhere near rock bottom.
3. Superboring
4. Rainbows over Camelot
5. Deadly Gentry
6. Honour Amongst Thieves
Pretty standard I guess, but atleast I got them, but I'm planning to go through and get more.
Highscores List, Story Quest Roll of Honour:
3rd place bronze for the Daily and Weekly high score lists with a score of 66051, hey bronze is pretty good right? Theres alot of positions I beat. I plan on getting on the score list with purgatory too, but that won't be recorded in this.
Now for the review:
The game was great, you definetely thought outside the box with this one, its not your everyday puzzler, its creative and very fun, besides just trying to solve a puzzle, your trying to solve how to escape a part of a dungeon and move on to the deeper parts of the dungeon, and fighting monsters along the way and killing them, depending on how you do the puzzle, they either get you or you get them, I loved every minute of playing this.
The monsters were unique as well, I loved all of the haunting screams and noises the monsters made, and it was also very unique how they attacked you, depending where you were at compared to them, its just very well planned out and designed, its been on my favorites list for awhile.
I loved the standard rescue the princess theme, it never gets old, especially brought into a unique game such as this, the music and atmosphere was just incredibly amazing, haunting and enchanting, I hope this quality isn't lost in part 2 which I'm about to play.
The gameplay mechanics were great too, it was fun and challenging to figure out how to get to the door, avoid monsters if you were low on health, trying to find the key, drill certain paths to avoid dangerous obstacles, stop and take a breath trying to figure out if going a certain way was going to hurt you, pending on the monsters unique attack style and range, and pressure points where you were at a check mate, trying to figure out a path to choose, to which monster hurts you less and just run in and get smacked by it, so exhilerating.
The only problem with this game however, in my opinion, is that some items were ridiculously overpriced, like the armor, the price made some armors not even worth the hassle, I completed the whole game with the purple set, the gold set would have been nice though, I just used the rest of my money to buy elixirs, food, damage spells and skeleton keys for the end levels, and devil boss battle. And one more thing, towards the last few levels, like the dungeon and hell, the gold bullion stacks you randomly came across, for extra money were just all mimic monsters that I came across. Every one I ran into trying to get extra gold was a mimic monster, it would have been nice if you still had a good chance to get the gold as actual money like the early levels and not as a monster, because the gold stacks you can pick up in levels are extremely rare anyhow.
But despite the drawbacks, it hardly tarnishes this great game, make more like this in the future!
8/10 Stars.

Wow, I think that's the most extensive Knightfall review on here! Glad you enjoyed the game, and if you liked the original then I'm certain you'll like the sequel - there's lots of improvements and surprises. Looking forward to hearing what you have to say about it. :-)
Cheers,

Well
The game as overall engaging and fun to play. I did find one bug though. In the Hell section I got to a point where there were no groups of more than two blocks except for three of the unbreakable pink ones. Since the game seems to read that group as a normal set of blocks, I don't get the option to switch any adjacent ones. Since I can't break them either, I am now stuck. Other than that, the game is very good.
Great game
This is one of the best games I have played in a while.
Love it~!
I absolutely adore this game! Love the simple graphics, music, everything. Well done! I have just one question, see in story mode, lat stage, when I have to kill the Devil, I did kill him twice, and than I run out of HP, so he killed me. How many times I have to kill him to win?
