This fucking company making headlines just reminded me of how big a pile of shit The Knightling is. It is almost a game that is playable. It fools you into thinking it may be fun to play until the play time elapses well past the demo zone and your chances to refund it are gone. Then the nonsense starts to become apparent. The intuitive direction just dissappears. The goals evaporate along with any sense of progression or direction. The peaks of difficulty and the valleys of guidance make for a game that completely unravels by the third act.
I have patience for a crappy game. Back in the Blockbuster days gambling your weekend on a random game off the shelf was half the fun. You’d roll the dice and have 2 days to find some fun in what could be a real stinker. The knightling holds any appeal for less time than a Blockbuster rental period. I am having trouble finding the correct words to say that it very quickly turns from a low budget adventure game to a huge fucking mess. The bar was low and they still walked under it on their tip toes with their hands in the air.
Seeing this studio pop up in the news for being shitty just reminded me of a game I would have been very happy to have forgotten about. Even well outside the guidelines for a return I will make an attempt to do exactly that.
