Knightfall: A Daring Journey Review (AlignedLicense0)
Genuinely might be the best Battle Royale game ever made. The mechanics, the jokes, the balance! Every weapon is S tier with the right play style, they all can be incredible strong in the right positioning.
The driving from town to town is easily my favorite Battle Royale arena shrinking/moving. It moves players into combat in ways other Battle Royales fail to do. It does it without feeling unfair, like a Zone in something like PUBG/Warzone/Fortnite/Apex can be. And it avoids massive boring camping in games that are sorta Battle Royales like Hunt Showdown and Tarkov.
The Horse mechanics are hilarious. The fact the goofy, hard to control, Mario Kart parody horse riding is not only funny, but has a genuine high skill cap to it is great. The fact you can learn the controls, learn the routes, and find little ways to cut time off a trip was so genuinely fun to do between gunfights for me. It became more fun than the gun play for a good amount of my playtime.
Match vs Menu times are probably the best of any Battle Royale .There is something absolutely amazing about this games queue taking seconds, followed by the game itself being ready to start in seconds. Even when you lose, it doesn't feel like a big deal because a game could start again in literally 10 seconds. Not find a match in 10 seconds, or load. I mean START.
Ofcourse it was riddled with bugs and glitches. Rarely was a bug game breaking and not in the first 5 seconds of a match, where it really didn't feel bad to just requeue.
Hackers were pretty rare but did exist. Usually seemed to be people just having fun with breaking the game. Never had the player base to really pull script kiddie hacking into it.
Unfortunately I have to give this game a thumbs down even though I have pretty much nothing but praise for it.
It's dead. No player base. I really hope Landfall changes the game to Free again. I feel like a Free To Play sequel with a little polish and a pay to customize character shop could be a great. Again, please Landfall make this game free to play. Otherwise it's just dead. You can't even see all the towns because you spawn left to right, and nobody spawns on the right side of map anymore since the lobbies aren't full.
