Knighthood with its turn-based combat and the delight of its animations

Knighthood is KING's new turn-based action combat game with which this company wants to distance itself from its famous puzzles. A pure freemium game, but one that is even capable of hooking anyone who hates this game model, since it has enough elements to become one of the best of the year.

It has several aspects to highlight and that they are going to lay the foundation for future games. I do not know how they have managed it, but moving through the menus on the home screen is an experience that other companies could imitate. The other two aspects, before going into detail, is the turn-based combat with a dynamism and camera movement that we have not seen in other games and the great, but great, animation that the characters and all living beings have. moves. Go for it.

A very complete turn-based combat freemium

The truth is that KING has surprised us with Knighthood. Firstly, for approaching turn-based combat games when his has always been puzzles as Candy Crush Friends. And it does it in an excellent way to put us before our hero who will face different enemies in three different rounds. In each shift we have four actions to perform, and that can be from a manual attack, that of one of our companions or the use of the enormous iron glove that provides powerful abilities.

After those 4 actions, it will be the enemy's turn to be one for each of the enemy team members. What may seem at first like something we have seen previously, thanks to the third-person camera, some Incredibly crafted animations and a dynamic camera In each of the hits, it becomes an experience that only invites you to continue killing all the enemies in the rounds; The Elder Scrolls: Blades does play with that third-person experience.

This is where Knighthood shows muscle and generates a unique experience; and that we have seen other action games in turn with that third-person perspective. That said, this dynamic turn-based action is supported by animations that are on par in quality as Pixar animated films as they can be Toy Story. It is simply exciting and how close you can feel to your hero or to those combat companions, which are two, with skills that only with the movement of the character is a pleasure to witness.

The visual richness of Knighthood

After the combat and after the tutorial, we will find the map through which we will wander through the different levels and another series of important points such as the trade, the PvP arena or the final bosses that await us. This map is another of the great virtues of Knighthood, since it has all those details to frame it in almost a console game on our Android mobile.

And what is usually very boring in many freemium games, such as menus, becomes another of the advantages of Knighthood. We have never played a game with such visual quality menus as well as performance. We added some sound effects and animations here and there, and it will turn the experience of navigating the clan menu, improving our hero's equipment or acquiring new companions into an experience like we have never experienced from a mobile.

We can also add the background story and that it is in Spanish, which helps to continue the adventure now. meet characters like the legendary Sir Edward Drakeson. He will introduce us to the Order of the Fury and those enigmatic characters that await us. The same happens with the gauntlet, a very powerful relic that will allow us to activate the best abilities of our companions; pay attention to its animations and combat effects as they are sublime.

Customize your knight in the great game of KING

There is no lack of PvP games either (although at the moment with shadows), the chains of attack movements, the customization of our avatar with different outfits and haircuts, fight in epic games with the members of your clan to later gather around a large round table or stop by merchants to get better items and materials to upgrade weapons and more.

KING has published this game designed by Midoki and that, although it is quite a freemium (you will be facing a slower progression as you advance), it is a game that will hook even the most painted. We are left with the excellence in character, enemy and menu animations, and the own experience that is to move around the home screen. It has a great variation of enemies, environments and a visual display that turns out to be one of the best games we have played so far this year.

Knighthood is a new turn-based combat game in which it invites you to play every day, customize your avatar and even spend a few euros to get some cool clothes and then hesitate to your clan. A whole new experience that you have to try and that lays the foundations for others to understand that there is a lot of room to grow. It is already taking time to install it.
