Last Knight: Rogue Rider Edition Reviews

Last Knight is pure awesomness for all those who like runner arcade games. Even if the story mode itself is quite short, there is a ton of content and achievements to unlock, including Adventure mode, Endless mode with quests, powerups and characters, and so on. The replayability is just fantastic and I haven't checked all already but I was very impressed by the content I've seen so far. Please note that Last Knight is not one of these 3 lanes runner that we see today on mobiles (like Temple Run or Subway Riders), instead here you have to strafe precisly to avoid the obstacles and aim your enemies with your spear. One great point about this is that the collisions are remarkably precise, it brings a lot to the gameplay. Another good point is also the humoristic characters and animations that you have all along the game (check the trailer). If you like this kind of style you won't be disappointed. The sound design (music and fx) is of great quality too. Technically the game runs with the Unreal Engine 3, that means that it will run at full fps on today configurations. I saw another review where a player was complaining about the vsync not enabled, but this has been fixed since.

Its a great game. And its fun to play the level designs are amazing. as for the creatures. Its great to see that there are people with new ideas in the indie world. this one is a great example. Enjoy the game ! its worth it.

Extremely fun and addicting endless runner with plenty of games modes, upgrades, unlockables, and quests to keep you occupied. Easy to pick up, hard to master. Wasn't really expecting much going into it if we're being honest, but I was surprised at the amount of content and the quality of the game in general. The jousting mechanic is extremely fun and is a major reason you'll keep coming back. When you defeat someone or are defeated, it'll do a cool slow-mo effect like when you die in GTA or a similar game. It's always fun to watch slow-mo ragdoll physics, especially with a horse involved this time. The game's cheap, pick it up and have some fun.

+ A nice idea and actually quite a well executed one. A video game has to be fun at for the most part, it is. - It is however, what it is. An endless runner, and a mobile port at that. - Repetitious music and not a great deal to enjoy outside the story mode. Adventure is for completionists while Endless is for those that surely have nothing else to be playing. And I can't imagine anyone like that who owns a PC for gaming. 5.5/10

The idea behind this game is simple: you are knight on a constantly running horse, and you have to either reach the end of the level (Story Mode), or just survive for as long as possible (Endless Mode) - all while collecting coins, defeating enemies, and avoiding obstacles. You can steer left and right, you can jump, and you can hit things with your spear. Thus, the gameplay is as simple as it gets, and the difficulty stems from whether you can react quickly enough to the obstacles in your path. It's definitely enjoyable in its simplicity, and it works quite nicely as something to play when you're looking for something simple and straightforward. It has a nice soundtrack, pretty nice graphics, and a decent sense of humor during the cutscenes; the levels are varied and they constantly require you to pay close attention to the incoming obstacles. It's overall a fun game to play, for the most part. I would have two complaints though: one would be that at times, the game seems to have a wonky collision detection, and you can end up falling off or down a platform you [i]thought[/i] you landed on just fine, or getting hit by an enemy you [i]thought[/i] you managed to hit with your spear. Devs really ought to fix that, because it's incredibly frustrating to die from what you could swear was not your fault at all. My other complaint would be the Knightmare levels. Basically, the idea behind them is pretty stupid: they are supposed to be a hard version of whatever world you're currently in, but the entire difficulty stems from the game intentionally messing with the visuals in a "oh god I'm high as heck" kind of way, which is a really cheap and unfair way of making a game more difficult. The cave Knightmare level deserves a special mention, being hideously unfair, being the prime example of the aforementioned wonky collision, and generally being THE level that will make you want to snap your gamepad if you'll try to go for a Gold medal. But overall, it's definitely a recommendable game, even if moments of "That was NOT my fault, you a-holes!" take away from the enjoyment a little.

Highly recommended for people with bad eating habits. I've never been so terrified of donuts and cheeseburgers in my life. Also for those with fat and exploding fetishes. Oh and the game is pretty damn good too. The raising and lowering of the lance can be a bit wonky at time and aiming it favors the right side just a tad, but otherwise that aspect is pretty cool. I also don't really like that it's possible for enemies to spawn just behind jump only sections and make it very hard to land and lance almost simultaneously. Ragdoll physics can be pretty hilarious too. Overall yes I recommend it. It's very enjoyable and quite comical.

It is really good at what it does. You have 5 buttons to use, of which you mostly use 4: left, right, attack, jump. That's it and when you get to the harder levels, you will be glad that there is nothing more to worry about. The game does have a cliché medieval atmosphere, but never takes itself seriously at all. The humor is fun if you are 6 years old, or if you sometimes long to be a 6 years old again. Don't expect too much from the campaign: it is just a kind of extended tutorial and hardly contains content that is not elsewhere in the game as well. The endless runner mode however is great. Graphics and controls are very well working together: the graphics give you a sense of motion and chaos, while the controls keep things structured for you. Very well executed. - The only thing I don't like about the game is that I always have to hear this annoying sound when I die, and always need to press a button to indicate that - no, thank you - I don't need to see myself die in slow-motion AGAIN. But this is just because I die so often ;).

Basically Last Knight Rough Rider is a running game with it´s own charming grafic but don´t underestimate it. It´s not that kind of game that you play 3 hours at a time but it won´t get boring so fast. It´s a kind of game which provides some horse action in a funny way not in the girly way that riding games usually are. It has a story mode which you can play in different perspectives. An endless mode where you can rank up points unlock other characters and stuff and the third mode were you start from the castle and can make your way trough the area where ever you want to go. There are lots of different hats you can find for your characters and for the achievement hunters over 70 achievements to get. At this point I like to mention the great and fast support of the dev solving the few bugs that we/ I encountered =) I recommend this game if you are looking for some variety in your library - looking for a cheap game or just like smashing other knights off their horsies ^.^

This game is a smash, literally! Have you had a bad day and wished you could just run up and knock the heads off of your adversaries? Do you wish you could gracefully ride a horse at full speed leaping over fences and chasms with the greatest of ease? Have you just returned from the Renaissance Faire, all pumped up, wishing you could have joined in on all that jousting goodness? Well, you're in luck because whatever your secret desire is, this game can help you fullfill it! This is a Runner/Platformer game which has surprisingly fluid controls (I like playing with a controller best). I never felt like I missed a hit or a jump because of sluggish-control reaction time or over-compensating turning controls. What is nice is that there are 3 points-of-view to choose from for playing the story campaign: slightly behind your character (normal viewpoint), first-person perspective, and bird's-eye view (both horizontal and vertical). You may have found that there are fun platforming games but you just wished they had picked a different perspective because the current one just doesn't work well for you; well, they have included them all, so you can choose your pleasure. And each perspective has it's own story progression and ranking, so if you have finished the game with all gold medals on the normal viewpoint, you can go ahead and try your hand at bird's-eye view and so on. It's a simple addition which opens up all sorts of possibilities for different kinds of gamers, and one I wish was implemented in more titles. They also have an endless mode and a survival mode to play in addition to the story campaign, and a lot of customization options to unlock so there is actually a fair amount of content to play through, even if the basic gameplay style doesn't change all that much. And that's a lot of content for a game of its price range. If you're the type of person who likes to have a lot of objectives to knock off in a game, this title would be one for you. Unfortunately, all those objectives are not reflected well in their Steam achievements. I would say the biggest negative for this game is that it has very poor Steam achievements (not really a deal-breaker for most). When you have 77 possible achievements, and after 3 years less then 2% of your players have gotten half of those achievements, and barely 5% have even gotten a third, you know you aren't doing something right. I'm not saying you need to hand out achievements left and right every time a player reads a sentence, but it would be nice to get some achievements for getting gold medals in levels and the like. Most of the achievements are for doing some odd manuever that you aren't even able to control or track. If you are a Steam achievement hunter, this title will be a bit of a disappointment in that area, but don't let that be the only reason not to get the game. It is very fun and has a lot to do in it so it is definately worth its low price.

This game is actually suprisingly fun to play on the PC. While I understand it is a mobile port, the added content, improved graphics, and friendly Dev all make it worth while. It is a nice casual game to pick up and play for 15-30 min during breaks. One thing to watch out for though is how often the screen shakes. It shakes a lot to simulate riding a horse. Something I found to counter this shaking is to actually ride a real horse while playing the game. Works great.
