How it feels

A frantic, real-time tactical dance where you scramble to keep your knight alive while directing their attacks, creating a tense but adorable co-op-like pressure.

What players say

Players are split on this short RPG. Many enjoy the support-class fantasy of keeping a knight alive, but the torch mechanic dominates strategy and the game's systems are poorly explained, leading to a frustrating start. Most agree the content is shallow and can be finished in under two hours.
