Knight Survivors

Gameplay is fun and satisfying, but stages drag on for far too long. If you lose at the end or crash (or d/c and lose a chance) you get nothing at all for the 30 minutes you waste in one stage. That's how long every stage or daily challenge feels. One way I can think of to solve this is to add a save to your state, where you can leave or crash and come back to the progress you had at that stage. Daily challenge keeps crashing on start and I keep losing my tries.

Played for a week. PROS: arena based roguelike gameplay. Pixel art graphics. Interesting concept w/ companions that follow you in battle but no innovation. CONS: similar to most roguelike games, system & gameplay wise. BAD IMPLEMENTATION OF ADS. Progress gating due to 20 mins energy regen. Too much RNG in getting upgrade materials. Finally, it's ONLY PLAYABLE ONLINE. OVERALL: it's a fun game but to progress you're forced to watch a lot of ads. But I still do recommend this as an alternative.

Game crashed halfway during playing, decent, but needs improvement Edit: 2nd crash at one of the limited daily events, energy lost, chance lost, paywall detected at level 11, play at your own risk. Edit 2: The paywall increases very rapidly once you reached 13 and above. Farming money becomes much harder as everything starts to becomes excessively expensive. I wanted to like the game but it just gets worse as you continue on, highest rating I would give is probably 1.5/5....too bad...

played a few games, got potential. then tried playing again. loading game at the start crashes. then when im able go load in. all buttons does not function. uninstall. this game should still be in development. rushing to launch the game for this to happen. remember once a gamer tried the game and uninstalls it. little to no chance they will install it again.

One of the better-looking reverse bullet hells, but that's a detriment. In looking good, there's so much visual noise that it makes it difficult to see what's happening. There needs more refinement, for example: wiping out enemies with a bomb, there's no moment of reprieve, they spawn right away. Movement is on crack, you will run into by accident. This game should be labeled in development.

The game is a pleasant-to-look-at skinner box for F2Ps, where progression is heavily gated by ads. Got up to level 38, with SSR equips and knights - so I have given the game more than a fair chance. Previously-available features like speeding up stages on 1.5x speed were later ad-walled. With more and more "features" requiring ad viewing and ad-free premium lasting only a month, the scale has tipped from the core gameplay loop from being a fun time-killer, to an ad-viewing simulator chore.

It's fun, but the ads won't load. So most of the time you're just pressing ad buttons without anything happening. Or worse: crashing—usually when you want to revive. Which is an issue in the daily thing, because the game doesn't continue then when you restart, making you lose your daily try. Sometimes the ad buttons work... kinda. You won't see an ad then, but at least you get the reward you wanted. I'm unsure when on why it sometimes works and sometimes doesn't.

Good potential (due to the genre), there are some good ideas, but overall it really isnt that great : i've completed the game in 3 days without paying, all levels are the same, a few skills are OP so you either get them or lose. RNG isnt well compensated, and it is frustrating to never reach the point where all skills and artifacts are max lvl.

Eh, it's a creative twist on the recent survivor trend, but every dang game feels the same. I like the gear, and lots of cute knights, but the games are too long and lose their appeal after 5 games or so. Also, i know all horde survival games do this, but don't limit levels so you can only get 12 different upgrades! This annoys me so much, i accidentally forget one upgrade and boom, i'm screwed because i have no slots for hp regen. Remove the slots, let us get all upgrades!

Vampire-like with slowed progress by energy, pay-walls, variety of the same minions, leveling minions and equipment, accessable only in shop. Animation and art are pleasant. All content is opened around map 10. After map 15 the gameplay goes in circles around the same map kicking the pay-wall. Progress is almost independent from player's performance on battlemaps, but depends on luck in shop.

Gameplay 5 star: fun and easy to get into with nice challenges. Really appreciate the mechanics and the graphics. It manages to provide an entertaining horde/bullet survival genre. 2 star: unfortunately, after purchasing the world 1 package, the game becomes unplayable with 'failed server' repeated every time the game logs in. Dev please help solve this issue.

Pros: Decent gameplay. Matches are generally shorter than other similar games Cons: Micro-transaction bloat. Pay-to-win business model. Poorly incentivized ad rewards. Mechanics are not clearly explained. Limited build customization (you get locked into specific weapon types/variety due to the way the upgrading progression works) Events are not designed to be completed by the free-to-play player. Game runs hot (drains battery) Performance drops at higher enemy counts/effects Gets boring FAST.

Love the esthetic and gameplay itself but there's not much content and the frame rate like to dip a lot. It can be hard to play when there's a 3-5 second delay in your input due to the extremely low frame rate at times but this games got a lot of potential. I hope the devs add more content and smooth out the frame rate a bit.

The gameplay is solid, a lot like vampire survivors but with a fresh twist and quite polished compared to other clones. Ads are optional and IAP seems fair. I tend to skip tutorials (oops) since it's usually obvious how the game works, but I don't know how character Linked Skills work, so I'd like a codex to better define equip/character/weapon mechanics. The purple laser void beam weapon feels useless, it appears to do no damage because the area shrinks onto your character, not toward mobs.

The gameplay is fairly standard for its genre. It lacks tooltips for such things as "link" in hero menu. The amount of IAPs is overbearing. There's about 7 different menus with different packages currently; excessive to see as a day one player. Also pretty damn weird that there's like 5 different variations of no ads, even a 3day one...

A cute bullet hell\survivors style game where you get companies to stay enemies in a trail behind you. Each companion has a certain trait associated with them and when you level up that trait in battle you get a little stat boost. Gameplay is smooth, though it warms up my phone a bit. The reason for three stars is the level of micro transactions. Between cheap and greedy for how much you get per purchase. You can watch ads for some free stuff. Gems build up at a moderate speed.

same experience as most others here, the art is vibrant and well made, being able to fully refund materials so you can try out gear without penalty is nice to see, but gameplay is mostly just oneshotting enemies until you hit a wall and have to grind for a while, overall progression is slow for the amount of time you spend in the game, ads refuse to load at times, leading to being softlocked mid-game. don't know why, but my phone is constantly hot playing this game. decent time-waster.
