Postknight reimagines the best parts of role-playing games into bite-sized bits within an exciting delivery adventure. * Winner of IMGA SEA 2017 - Grand Prix * The story follows the adventures of a Postknight — a knight who is tasked with difficult or dangerous deliveries — in the grand kingdom of Kurestal. Through deliveries, the postknight will meet other characters with different backgrounds while venturing across the kingdom of Kurestal and beyond. Designed to be an enjoyable RPG for those on-the-go, Postknight is optimized for mobile devices: from content to controls, for hardcore and casual players, to time spent in and out of the game. Instead of spending long hours to experience the highlights of an RPG adventure, Postknight delivers it in small yet exciting pieces. • Adorn Your Rewards Your hard-earned armour and weapons don’t just improve your battle stats, they also look great on the postknight. Be great and glamorous in battle! • Brilliant Blends Mix your trusty potion up the way you want it to be: higher healing power, lower cooldown, or with more effective buffs? • Better, Faster, Stronger Every delivery run increases the postknight’s experience, along with strength, agility, intelligence and vitality. Allocate the traits that matter to you the most. • Select Strategic Skills Equip the postknight with skills and amoury perks that best suit your battle strategies! • Exciting Expedition Embark on a light-hearted adventure to various interesting towns and cities and meet its diverse inhabitants. While you’re at it, collect quirky loot and fantastic gear too! • Bite-sized But Breathtaking Postknight promises no draggy battles, but ensure that they will be equally exciting - especially when it comes to boss battles! • Destiny & Dates Throughout a postknight’s journey, there will be new faces that will become lasting relationships. Of course, every relationship needs effort, be it in the form of gifts, or just dropping by for a daily visit. • Time Waits For No One, But… Time continues to tick for the postknight even when you are not playing: deliveries will be sent out and rewards will await you when you return! Girls you have ties with will wonder where you have gone too, so dropping by for a visit every now and then will keep their hearts at ease. !!! IMPORTANT !!! Supported devices are iPhone 5, iPad Mini 2 and iPad 3 or newer versions of these devices. iPad 2, iPad Mini, iPhone 4s and iPod Touch 5 are not supported. ---------- Begin your delivery adventure now!
