Please update and add more content!! ### 5/5 — 12345 *2024-06-10, version 1.4.2* This game is great it is soooooo very much fun to play ### 5/5 — Game *2024-05-14, version 1.4.2* Game=good ### 5/5 — cool game *2023-12-03, version 1.4.2* here are my critiques: 1. red orb/soul system is kinda weird, maybe make it so enemies have a rare chance to drop a coin and the souls could be used to upgrade stats or something intead of the 1000 souls = 3 coins 2. the spike wall, i like the limiting feature where you cant backtrack or you die and also its funny when you get launched by an enemy and hit the wall and die instantly. the problem i have is that its incosistent and sometimes will be super far back and somtimes it will be right behind you even when you have only been moving forward 3. not really a criticism, but i think it would be fun to add some more customization to your knight like being able to change the colour of an armours fabric or choose the type of metal the armour is made of overall cool game 👍 ### 5/5 — Good game *2023-11-20, version 1.4.2* Even though it’s old it’s still good ### 4/5 — Suggesting *2023-10-14, version 1.4.2* The game is great, but the dagger is just so weak, I suggest you to buff dagger to like a charger weapon for the primary, and also I think maybe adding block for weapons will be cool, the resistance level could just be like only 1. ### 5/5 — EPIC *2023-07-26, version 1.4.2* The game is awesome, the story is interesting, there is a lot of weapons in the game and the armors are all pretty awesome, the art style is simplistic yet very interesting, it’s definitely a gem worth trying if ya haven’t already! ### 5/5 — Love *2023-06-26, version 1.4.2* I love everything about this game and I think everyone should give it a try. ### 4/5 — Not optimized *2023-06-07, version 1.4.2* The game is good just it’s a bit annoying to hap to put my fingers to have the sides of my screen blacked out great game tho ### 5/5 — Simply amazing *2023-05-27, version 1.4.2* This game is very good it is by far one of the best mobile game I have played. It is super simple but is surprisingly hard to master. The only problem I have with the game is that it is to grindy you will spend ten minutes grinding for 100 coins just to get a duplicate it is so frustrating. once you get some some decent stuff the game gets really good. Also a recommendation for the game would be to add descriptions to items so you could have what weapons counter or just have flavor text. I really like this game and recommend it to anyone just looking for a game. ### 5/5 — Still an amazing game *2023-05-09, version 1.4.2* I came back to this game after giving up trying to beat it and its still a great game, the story is just as interesting as before, the combat is really simple and fun, if only the devs came back :/ ### 4/5 — Do you need help with the game’s text. *2023-05-06, version 1.4.2* This game is cool, but the english words are a little off in some places. I can help you fix the grammar. Also the transitions between menus are a little too long and should be cut in half. Finally, you should make it easier to distinguish who is who when fighting. Maybe make the enemies wear darker armor and put a slight glow around the player’s knight. ### 5/5 — Amazing Game! *2023-04-21, version 1.4.2* I really like this game and I really wish it got more updates! Please add more updates!! ### 4/5 — Fun game, but the reward system needs work *2023-04-10, version 1.4.2* I dig this game quite a bit, the combat is quick and unforgiving… you can sort of almost feel the hits you land and receive. The ability to customize your loadout for weight concerns is a nice touch as well, and I enjoy the two weapon system the game utilizes. My only complaint is the reward system. Every 1000 red orbs you acquire in the game converts into 3 gold coins you can save towards spending on new gear, however each cheat you can buy for a random piece of equipment runs 100 coins each. The problem lies in that if you get a duplicate item, that’s that. You don’t get comped for it in any way, it just counts as nothing. It’s pretty weak given the amount of effort involved in getting a 100 coins saved up. Other then that, the games pretty fun. Wish my friends who have android phones could download and play it as well, but what can you do? ### 5/5 — This game is so cool, only one problem. *2023-03-09, version 1.4.2* This game has to be my 3d fav app on the App Store, it has a unique gameplay mechanic, unique fighting, and over all really enjoyable. The armors are also really cool, one issue I have is how hard it is to get enough money to get a chest, other than that this game is a game I’d sit down and really play for 2 hours. ### 5/5 — The best game ever *2023-02-05, version 1.4.2* Shadow Fight? Pffft move over. Simply knights is coming through ### 5/5 — Great game *2023-01-15, version 1.4.2* This is a great game with great potential ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 2/5 — Pretty unresponsive. *2023-02-18, version 1.4.2* This game has two major issues, the team AI, and attacking as the player. When you attack with a lunge by double tapping, you hit it and then wait far too long. You can’t go in with a slash as if you try, odds are a enemy will do it first. You do the lunge, unless you knocked them all back, your gonna be attacked by a enemy. Now, why does this happen? You aren’t supported well by the teammates you get, they aren’t nearly agressive enough. They don’t do much, and once your dead they lose the fight. It would be nice if the player was the center of the battle, maybe once they die the ai become more agressive and once possible with a healing chest, revive you with on hp. It’s pretty annoying to attempt to fight anybody. ### 3/5 — Моё мнение2 *2022-11-15, version 1.4.2* Я играл в эту игру уже дольше, я точно могу сказать всё что в ней есть. Баланса нет вообще, враги могут вытолкнуть тебя за экран, что убивает тебя в любом случае даже если у тебя больше половины здоровья, если враг стоит выше тебя, то он может до тебя достать, а ты нет, хотя если ударить то достанешь, но игра не видит врага выше тебя. Если вся твоя команда погибла, то твой забег закончен, без команды ты никуда не пойдёшь, враги получают то снаряжение которое ты открыл, что может сильно повлиять на забеги. Не говорится ничего про оружие, ни сколько урона оно наносит, ни скорость удара. Битву с боссом не возможно получить, босс попался только один раз на дистанции 380 метров, после этого результаты больше не приводили к битве с боссом ### 3/5 — Ну такое… *2022-09-30, version 1.4.2* Нарисовано конечно не плохо, в остальном проходняк ### 3/5 — Dumb mechanic *2022-03-30, version 1.4.2* Leaving a 3 because of this stupid mechanic nobody needed. GIANT BLACK WALL OF DEATH. Why? What’s the point? To stop you from actually progressing unless you have a shield? If you don’t have a shield, all you can do as back away or lunge away. But guess what? That black wall? Nope. Stops you from doing ANY of those. It’s stupid. Just remove it. Even if it’s meant to make the game more difficult, the enemies will just overpower you with how many there are. ### 3/5 — Не плохо, однако... *2020-01-27, version 1.4.1* Пока что на троечку. Интересная задумка, симпатичная минимальная графика. Множество доспехов и оружий. А потом ты встречаешься с проблемами. 1) Устройство моментально нагревается. Не проходит и 5 минут, как держишь раскалённый металл в руке. 2) Баги в игре из разряда «анимация удара прошла, но урон не прошёл» - часто происходи, если моделька игрока бьет сверху склона по нижестоящим. 3) Странная система сундуков, когда ты по 30-60 минут фармишь эти проклятые 100 монет, тебе выражает предмет из уже имеющихся, и это никак не компенсируется. 4) Сюжетная линия, которая появляется только после прохождения ваших же рекордов. Проблема в том, что зачастую ты проходишь свой рекорд не один, и твоё снаряжение бывает, ну, не очень, а вот «боссы» компании ой какие вредные. И вернуться к ним можно только если снова побить свой рекорд. Зачем? Почему? Для чего так сделано? - не понятно. 5) Вылеты. Вылеты, вылеты, вылеты... Или вылетает в меню, или виснет после просмотра рекламы. В итоге-то не плохо, но можно и лучше. Дерзайте. ### 3/5 — Absolutely One Of The Best, but one thing *2019-05-16, version 1.4.1* This is such an enjoyable game to play with it’s ... simplicity. Satisfying simple customization, easy fighting tactics, and even local gameplay. There is a couple problems stemming from one thing. Broooo it’s too freaking haaaard! I looked at the leaderboards and only 18 people out of 13,000 have completed it and only 2 in local gameplay have finished it. I must be a noob because I’ve played it for years and gotten to the Black King just to die by getting hit to the black boundaries too many times to count. Once again, it’s such a great game, but it’s too hard bro. Dare I say harder than Dark Souls because I’m a noob. I just want to see the ending scenes bro. There’s gotta be like a difficulty setting and the random spawn of enemies is unbalanced in my opinion. Some playthroughs I get through troops with simple tactics and other times it’s impossible to get past them when my AI teammates die, the enemies are tanks and beat me to death when they don’t get knocked back, or when the ranged weapon guys are in a line, so it’s a slaughterhouse. All I ask for is maybe some potions, a lower difficulty, increased allies, or even a gun or bow. Once again I like this game, but please bro help me see the end of all this lol. I think the other 12,981 players would agree. By the way, great game buddy. Best game in the App Store to play for passing time. It always gets me worked up, but I just need to see the “Endgame”. Thank you bro ### 3/5 — Great game but It has issues *2019-05-03, version 1.4.1* The overall gameplay is awesome but It doesn't have any sound, I’ve pressed the sounds buttons in the settings and nothing. Also whenever I go to the house and click on the icon with the three heads, the app crashes. ### 3/5 — Recruiting is Wayyyyy to EXPENSIVE *2018-10-10, version 1.4.1* Recruiting knights is way to expensive and how do you expect us to get any further without spending money? We need to have some knights come out at a certain time frame. For example, 1 min comes the next 4 white knights. The it takes 2 hours for me just to get too 100 gold then you put recruits as 1000?! And I’m the description it says “Small fee”. Have a parry option or upgrade stats at least! Have a perfect block parry cuz shields don’t work too well. We need something that quickens the leap recovery because being flung backward takes less time then to jump forward... the game is nice like the story but you guys need to have a little more options then money. That could get more people to play. ### 3/5 — Amazing, but please remove black area *2018-08-16, version 1.4.1* This game is well designed and heavily risk reward, but the penalty for equipping lighter load outs is unfair, the reduction of weight can get you knocked straight into the black zone which instantly kills you, the consequences for faster movement should be less health, not in addition to the high chance of a one kill. ### 3/5 — WHYYYY *2017-03-05, version 1.3* When I saw this game it looked so SICK so I got it but as soon as I played it crashed then I kept trying and trying and it finally worked but it was SO LAGGY then it crashed :( please fix ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Hard but Addicting *2026-06-26, version 1.4.2* This game is amazing. 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 ### 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 ### 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 ### 5/5 — Amazing game! *2024-09-02, version 1.4.2* First off, I love this game. For me I just have one lil problem. The square blade, I would love it back into the game. Besides that I love every aspect of this game. Good work! Also I would love the honor points to get increased just a lil. ### 5/5 — Nice game *2024-07-12, version 1.4.2* This games pretty fun but a little too hard and I wish there was a easier way to get coins but good game overall --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
