Every day I’m wondering “Will I make it to the champion? What will the king have in store for me today?” And everyday you get a little bit further than before. Definitely recommend to those who like a fun challenge. Not to mention the graphics are amazing too, for a mobile game ### 5/5 — Outstanding *2026-05-19, version 1.4.2* There’s nothing to say, it’s fun, different, and difficult. You’ll love it if you’re looking for a different grounded game ### 4/5 — There could be more into this game. *2025-08-04, version 1.4.2* This game have a nice concept with tis simplistic works very well as a mobile game. ### 5/5 — Too the knights at fantasync *2025-07-31, version 1.4.2* I really enjoy this game in fact I play this game every single day. I really enjoy every part from the character design too the little details you don’t even notice! Keep up the good work ### 4/5 — Fun, needs refinement *2025-07-29, version 1.4.2* Is a fun game overall but has some annoying things to it and is no longer updated ### 5/5 — Good but I agree *2025-06-11, version 1.4.2* It is a great game but I agree with a lot of these guys it is excessively hard and I have never got substantially good gear from the loot crates but other than that good game👍 ### 5/5 — Very challenging, but super satisfying *2025-06-10, version 1.4.2* It’s really hard, and a bit annoying at times, but getting that perfect slash that takes down 5 enemies at once hits my little g spot so hard ### 5/5 — must play but it is hard *2025-03-26, version 1.4.2* I love this game I got most of my family hooked on it and we play together sometimes, but it is wicked hard sometimes now this might just be because I have a pretty bad load out, but I’ve tried a couple different things here and there, but I mostly get the same things and I’m barely know what the end of this game looks like and I have been playing for a long time and it’s not easy. I will tell you that but once you play it, you’ll probably get hooked to like everyone else who has played it so if you’re looking for something that’s not raging but equally hard I would recommend this game like you can’t even get frustrated at sometimes. Sometimes you might just laugh at what you did but to be honest, it’s a really fun game. now it’s not gonna make you burst out laughing or make you wanna break your phone it’s just simply a really good game. ### 5/5 — Height *2025-01-15, version 1.4.2* Great game but sadly almost no one has completed it ### 5/5 — After one year *2024-09-21, version 1.4.2* After one year of not playing the game, I remembered that I played this game. This was and still is a great game! 10/10 or 5/5 ## Frequently asked questions about Simply Knights ### What is Simply Knights about?
