Joust Legend – Game Review
Joust Legend is a game from Rebellion Interactive Limited, first launched in 12th September 2013.
It’s rated 12+ and currently has 436+ ratings on the App Store.
What Makes Joust Legend Stand Out
Experience the speed, adrenaline and lance-shattering intensity of jousting. Test your mettle and push your reactions to the limit on your quest to vanquish rival knights of the realm and become the King’s Champion… a Joust Legend!
It’s 1472 and the King of France has issued a challenge to King Edward IV of England – a grand Tourney to showcase the finest warriors of these two proud nations. And so Edward announces the King’s Trials, a series of gruelling tournaments to find the finest knight in the kingdom!
Joust Legend is an authentic jousting experience created using motion capture from a real jousting session with the game’s Creative Director – and champion jouster – Jason Kingsley.
STUNNING MEDIEVAL COMBAT
Feel every shuddering hit with beautiful 3D graphics designed for Retina screens, bone-crunching slow motion replays and fully motion-captured horses and knights.
MASTER THE LANCE
Compete in practice tourneys, win special prize fights for extra rewards, earn gold from big-money wagers, learn new skills and progress through the King’s Trials to become Champion.
HONE YOUR TACTICS
Get the edge on your opponent. Pick crucial skill ‘buffers’ before each joust. Make split-second decisions that could swing combat. Do you play it safe or gamble it all on a precision hit?
SUIT UP
Use winnings to customise and upgrade every facet of your knight and horse, from helms and crests to lances, armour, and more. Experiment with different combinations and boosts to see which works best for each duel.

The only way oI oyou pa othis owas pthe or a good idea but it.
We really like this game, the repetitive gameplay is a bit tiring but we find it fun improving our skill with different weighted lances. We wish the tutorial explained each stat better, or that there was a guide somewhere but everywhere we look dont really clarify. Right now Im buying every horse to see their different reactions and we honestly cant tell through the pure grind of earning gold to buy the next horse. Anyone know what bravery, speed, and spirit do.
We hate when you lose for your country you have to go all the way back to the beginning its getting really annoying.
Hello developers, we bought a chest armor for $5 but we cant equip it, help! Please fix this. Other than this it is a great game.
Hey dev could you please fix this,we payed For one of the chest armor piece and we didnt Get it,it was 4.99 we refreshed it and restarted But it didnt work please fix it thanks. Sir_Dark.
To the developers the game is amazing, very very very well made, and just perfect,but theres one thing missing,we would really like to access more targes, for example,Id really like the green boar targe, the game only has the boar crest,can you please add more targes?,at least the ones that arent available.
This game is fantastic. It's got amazing graphics, great audio, outstanding gameplay, and is very well optimized! The only thing we dislike is how few options there are to upgrade. We mean, you can start off with the best horse in the game, and there aren't many upgrade options to chose from, only different colors. But despite all of that, the game makes up for it with needing skill rather than luck. You need good reflexes and a little patience. All in all, we love the game, we just wish it had more options for actual upgrades other than aesthetic differences.
It's a cool game but the in app purchase is to much expensive but it's the jousting game we wanted a must have the only thing that would make it more perfect is to lower the price of the inapp things by half but this game is fantastic the graphics the controls take some getting use to but we're getting there it's fun fun fun absolutely fun addicting as he'll thank you for the hard work it shows it's a very polished game a keeper thank you for the update now thats customer service others just wont update but you guys rock.
We went to buy the black armor and it wont let us equip it.
We had fun playing this game and the story is compelling enough but you can complete this game in two hours.. Ive beaten it twice already. After you beat it it basically starts a New Game Plus where you keep your upgrades but start again. No real reply value.
It was great, we wish it would come back.
The game is fun. So is the story line. However, for the price, Id expect the story line to be much more in depth. We literally beat the game in 2 hrs. We were hoping itd be a game thatd take us some time to beat orat least to progress through however we were literally at the end credits within two hours…. Just sitting in disbelief. Other than that, the game is pretty fun.
You can quit the match right before you lose.
Rarely do we purchase games but this peaked our interest. Great game and concept but we beat the entire campaign in one day. There is SO much more content that they could expand on. More types of armor, longer campaign, rivalries and alliances with different knights, online multiplayer Love the game but disappointed in the lack of content provided.
We played a bit and its fun, but we paid for a full suit of armor and cant put a single piece on. Kinda weird.
Time and OS changes seem to have made it no longer workable.
Dear game developers we really like your game but we have one problem the armor is really pricey but we still like this.
Great game and graphics but definitely not worth the money. There are 10 jousting tournaments then thats the end of the game. Not much to do after that.
The overall design of the game is not bad, However, there is no tag doll physics, theres no crest marker, nor is there a way to tell exactly where to hit. Rather a general area. Prices are high and if you want to beat the campaign with full armor, you have to place wagers and gain gold that way. NOT worth $2.99 we played a better free one about 2 years ago. But that one is no longer on the market.
Its a great game with awesome graphics and such, but its not worth 3 dollars to play something you can beat in a couple hours and then have to start all over. Yes you still have all your upgrades and stuff but come on. Like 10 challenges and thats it….definitely needs work.
The game itself is great, however none of the in app purchases seem to work, so we would like to request our money back, as we have gotten most of the things we payed for already through in game money.
The game could be wayyy better than it is, but the severe lack of content limits it. Theres 3 options of armor with a minimal difference between the middle and higher tier variants. However the game can say that each armor piece has 12 options, since each one can be purchased in silver, black, gold, and red. The story takes about 30 minutes to run through, and then resets itself in a new game + style where you keep your gold and armor purchases. To buy a full set of red noble armor (the most expensive option) and a different horse with the red barding (again, the most expensive option) it took us an additional 30 minutes of prize jousts. There was no multiplayer game modes, and the computer becomes very easy to beat very quickly. The special ability cards you earn can be spent once at the beginning of the round, but as there are three rounds, and you only receive one or two normally after a joust, the computer does have a distinct advantage of always using a card during every single round. When we lose a joust, its normally because an enemy has used a card that has put them over the top while we had none available to use or none beneficial at the time. It feels like more luck than anything else. Since the app hasnt been updated in a year, Id assume that it will not be adding any additional content. This game would have been better made as a free game with ads, as opposed to $3.
This game is fun until you level all the way up! Which you can do very quickly buy purchasing the gear or by playing it wisely. The problem is once you are leveled up, you still cant beat the game and there is nothing to gain by playing. Its gets very boring very quickly.
Dont buy anything Its just a scam their too lazy to fix the game.
The game has good graphics… Thats it… Not bad for a phone or tablet but, what Im the actual hell is up with the buy button?! We purchased 2 items and item didnt show up or that we had even bought it. We contact support and they tell us they dont even have control over purchases and they cant credit us the items to the account. So support is as useless as the buy button.
SO STUPID TO HARD YOU SHOULD OF NEVER MADE THIS GAME.
Purchased a suit of armor , $1.99 they charged us and we could not equip the items. Its one thing to charge for a game . Then to pay more to get nada??? Boo.
Tap tap stop hold tap hold tap. We guess Im just not sophisticated enough to play. You cant even see the game because youre so busy focusing on the weird tapping.
Great fun for the game itself however we wanted to buy silver noble armor for 4.99$ and it said purchase successful and then said theres a problem connecting to our store check your internet. So we restarted connected to WiFi and tried again. Same thing except it said youve already purchased this, would you like to buy it again for free? So we hit yes thinking it would be free and here we go to check the bank to see if it charged us (because we still havent gotten our items) and it charged us both time (even though it said free) so $10 down and no items.
We have and we phone and when we type in our name we cant slide down the keyboard to ok our name.
Id beaten the game in under 24 hours, and that wasnt even playing much. Its a well made game, but if its going to cost money, it needs to have the content to back up the purchase. Im very disappointed.
It took like over a week to verify the purchase and now we cant return it, smh.
We've had a lot of fun with this app. We would recommend it to anyone with even a remote interest in the period.
This game is so cool and it is worth the money its so realistic and in 3D!! Very pretty and action packed get it ,if you like jousting this is for you.
We like how you don't have to purchase upgrades. Would be fun if there were a few more upgrades and make it easier to knock opponent off horse. Also maybe have a few variations to animated scenes like when your opponent gets knocked off his horse and things he does when he wins. But overall a great game with great graphics.
We love the graphics and the gameplay but there is a lot bugs that we would like to see fixed. This could actually be the competition to Rival Knights(is another awesome jousting game).
Great game, graphics like ps3 hope it gets more updated for adding more championships and challenges.
A great game!! Could you add dragon emblems to the choices of targe an crest designs.
Please, add more episodes! Thanks.
If the developers keep up with this game and make more upgrading possibly to the horse and the knights equipment, this game will be a must have! Lots of fun and makes you feel like you right there in the action. We paid for some of the ad dons and WOW makes the game even more fun. A+++++ or 5 Stars. Please keep up the great job.
Really good game. Did anyone else notice Gameloft made a freemium copy of it? It is called "Rival Knights".
We love this game it has beutiful graphics and it has uniqe jousting way.But we hope you could add online multiplayer 1 on 1 or team fights,make wager fights harder so,you cant farm them,make diffrent ways to joust like a team game of jousting or like someones 2 on 1ing you so there more to do,and finaly add more campain for people to play.This was our review and somethings you can add too,Thank you for making this game and we hope you update it with more fun joisting.
Simply awesome,easy controls all about timing.Beautiful graphics,gothic styled armors,and intense hits.What one would expect in joust.
We enjoyed this game a lot, it has an unique, intuitive and fun gameplay that rewards you greatly for taking greater risks. The games a little power hungry and doesn't really have any replay value. Finishing it once is highly satisfying though.
We love this game, it's one of our favorite games.
This game is very fun and addictive. We love the feel of the game. We do think there needs to be some more things to buy and a bit more story to it. Its great otherwise.
Very good game design and graphic.
Todo bien, entretenido y muy buen juego, solo debera tener ms opciones de personalizacin, y un modo online de multijugador.
At first the controls are a little weird but when you get used to them the game is really fun and addicting we've never played a game like this!!!!!! :p.
It is nice to okay a game hat is unique and not like a bunch of other ones that already exist.
