Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
It is a great game but we agree with a lot of these guys it is excessively hard and we have never got substantially good gear from the loot crates but other than that good game.
Its really hard, and a bit annoying at times, but getting that perfect slash that takes down 5 enemies at once hits our little g spot so hard.
We love this game we got most of our family hooked on it and we play together sometimes, but it is wicked hard sometimes now this might just be because we have a pretty bad load out, but Ive tried a couple different things here and there, but we mostly get the same things and Im barely know what the end of this game looks like and we have been playing for a long time and its not easy. We will tell you that but once you play it, youll probably get hooked to like everyone else who has played it so if youre looking for something thats not raging but equally hard we would recommend this game like you cant even get frustrated at sometimes. Sometimes you might just laugh at what you did but to be honest, its a really fun game. Now its not gonna make you burst out laughing or make you wanna break your phone its just simply a really good game.
Great game but sadly almost no one has completed it.
After one year of not playing the game, we remembered that we played this game. This was and still is a great game! 10/10 or 5/5.
First off, we love this game. For us we just have one lil problem. The square blade, we would love it back into the game. Besides that we love every aspect of this game. Good work! Also we would love the honor points to get increased just a lil.
This games pretty fun but a little too hard and we wish there was a easier way to get coins but good game overall.
This is an amazing game, but we feel like its been so long since the last update (FOUR YEARS)!! Please update and add more content.
This game is great it is soooooo very much fun to play.
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, its definitely a gem worth trying if ya havent already.
This game has a wonderfully simple design graphic and gameplay wise, and it works amazingly. This game is awesome and we fully recommend it.
This game is very good it is by far one of the best mobile game we have played. It is super simple but is surprisingly hard to master. The only problem we 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. We really like this game and recommend it to anyone just looking for a game.
We really like this game and we really wish it got more updates! Please add more updates.
This game has to be our 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 we have is how hard it is to get enough money to get a chest, other than that this game is a game Id sit down and really play for 2 hours.
This is a great game with great potential.
You should be able to play this game on more platforms that is all we think.
Great art, great combat, great sound, no forced ads, everything about this game is extraordinary.
The combat is easy to learn but hard to master and we have not encountered any bugs good game overall.
This has been our go-to game for the past few months, something fun to hop on when we have a little bit of free time- we find the combat exciting and rewarding for creative thinking/tactics. Id like to see brief explanations/descriptions of weapons, what makes them special or why you should use them.
Im loving this game since we got it, our only issue is that we cant find anything about muting it.
Just found this game out the blue and we must say we really enjoy playing. The difficulty, the equipment, the story, and overall combat itself (although quite difficult but, very fun and engaging) is an incredible experience overall.
This is actually ridiculously fun.
A game of pure perfection that deserves all the positive feedback thats it has received.
We like this game because, just as the name implies, simply Knights fighting Im not that good but what we do like is whenever we die, an ad doesnt pop up out of nowhere! We miss that Id say these guys are on a great start.
The game is some what difficult but it sure is fun.
We downloaded this game and thought it would be alright we absolutely adored this game so fun and challengingly but not to challenging the art is cute and the game play is great for single devoloment our only problem that makes it 9/5 is the fact that the chest give you less for waiting more so we think that shouldnt be the case overall great game would reccomend.
Its a game that the more you play the better you get and the gear you obtain. Great game so far one of our favorite knight games.
Good we liked it and can we have more modes and things plz.
Real fun game real hard game and it is very hard to play.
Simply Knights lives up to its name! Im delighted by the simplicity of the game and the lovely attention to detail. Its a nice challenge and a break from more involved that games we play.
Why was there a childrens learning add in this game it just confus.
Very challenging and thats what we like, just wish there were a couple different things/ more to offer, which we look forward to updates. The game is good how it is we think, but more ways to get gold like quests to kill certain number of knights or a certain distance that reward gold would be cool, but we do like it and look forward to more being added.
This game is amazing its soo fun download this game.
Please add a level system for some upgrades.
The metal clanging noises are really satisfying.
We havent even finished the game, and its great! Ive only just now beaten(spoilers ahead) Esla, and the game continues to be great in its fast action medieval fight style. Its very difficult to learn how to fight and be strategic in his game, but that one of the things that keep you hooked. We only have a few suggestions regarding the champions helm and defeating Esla. We REALLY wish that after beating Esla you could recruit sir lancamore or whatever his name is! We think it would be only fitting that he gets to join the cause! The second thing is the champions helms ability to give double coins. We wish it also gave double coins for the small chests you find in battle, but also when the game give the option to watch an ad for more coins. Kinda disappointed that it didnt. Anyway, this is a fantastic game so far, and we will update our review after we beat the black banner champion! Thank you for your time.
This game is extremely well made and very fun/addicting. It helps us forget that star wars arena was deleted.
Knights are cool and these are Knights.
We hope that yiu can keep on working on this game. Even if you do just add a few more weapons or a minor feature. Please.
We played this game as a child. Years later, we returned for nostalgia. This game is just the way we remembered it. We never was able to reach the black king. Too bad this game hasnt become popular. Ill like to congratulate the developers for making this fun little game.
Honestly, prompts to the creator of the game. We couldnt be more proud of the gameplay. When the game gets updates, we do hope for more things to improve gameplay, but either way. The game is good is what Im saying. It deserves more.
Ive been playing for a couple days and we love it the one thing we ask we an fight against the black banner king or champion.and please make prices lower for hiring.
This game is really good and we love it.
The game is really fun, timing is key to strikes and when to move, otherwise you will get pummeled by the enemies, coordination, movement, equipment, and caution are absolutely needed to get decently far as the enemies use simple daggers to full on great swords.
This game has a great combat system, phenomenal art and in the start you dont have to wait like 24 hours to get a new chest. The weight system in our opinion is very cool and unique. All in all we are blown away.
We really have no words. Its simply… An amazing game.
Good game it need some more terror but perfect.
This game is amazing so good why is this game not more popular there are some things we think would make this game nearly perfect first add another mode campaign would be amazing u in a all out war with the black banner also recruiting is so cool we love it but its to expensive way to expensive and we wish chest where not 5 minutes for 100 doing and then u get less for waiting more we think it should be 100 coins every 1 two 2 hours that be fair also the champion helmet is expensive two buy 4.99 nahhhhh make it 2.99 or 1.99 and a dlc would be amazing and we hope u could maybe in the future add where u could play as the black banner and the white for fun maybe a black bannor campaign this game could half a lot more thank u for making such an amazing game with all the updates it is really fun and one last thing when u reach 500 meters the black bannor king should be in a siege camp or the Castile with heavy armored guards many 2 or 3 then the fight with the king thats all form us u probably got tuns or others things 2 do again thank u for listening keep making this game great.
This is overall a great game with absolutely great controls Sterling graphics now only all we got a wait for is online multiplayer instead of local.
With its stellar graphics and mesmerizing gameplay, this is truly a new classic. The only thing to change is to make the chests not repeat gear. Edit: you should have a list of open servers so people can play with others more easily! Also: when being knocked back by an enemy strike, you should not die if u hit the black wall, this makes light loadouts die very easily as they are knocked farther. We have a light build that can lunge in, and lunge back out before getting struck, but when it gets hit with any weapon above 2 weight, we get knocked flying into the black wall of death. Ideas: note: all bows do .5 damage for the melee attack! Another note: Bows use 2 durability for double tap(shooting) and also have an aiming delay before they shoot. -Old bow: when you double-tap it shoots an arrow(non-sheild peircing) that does .5 damage with a low range. The auto attack would do a melee whack with the bow. 2 durability. Weight: 2 -Kaguzi: A bow with a slightly longer range than the old bow and 1 damage. 3 durability. Arrow can sheild peirce. Weight: 3. -Longbow: A bow with a slightly longer range than the old bow and 1 damage. 2 durability. Arrow ALWAYS peirces sheilds. Weight: 5. -Yian: A bow with the same range as old bow and .5 damage. Arrow always sheild peirces, and is is EXPLOSIVE! 2 durability. Weight: 4.
