Knightblade - Open World RPG

Solohack3r Studios

About this game

A retro open world RPG that can be played offline, has no in-app purchases, and no ads! Buy it once and own it for life. A port of the PC game!

Knightblade is best described as an open world fantasy game mixed with farming and life sim elements, as if it were made in the golden age of video games. After creating your character from the 8 options presented to you (four classes, two genders, eight sprite options), our future hero will move into a beautiful little town and start their life as a humble farmer. But quickly you realize there is a mystery focused on the dungeons that lurk below. A mystery that involves the God of Death, and your own family legacy. Explore the world through a retro-style world map, explore the towns and locales of the region. Farm and mine to earn precious gold. Help local citizens with quests. Fall in love. Then head into the deep dark dungeons.. clear each one, slaughtering monsters and collecting treasure, while slowly the mystery of why you came to this town will begin to unravel. This is Knightblade.

This is a low-cost game designed with a main story that can be completed in a couple hours. Players can rush through it, but they won't find all there is to discover. It's encouraged to play at your own pace and explore the world. The farming elements are not complex, there is a larger focus on clearing dungeons. Each dungeon cleared advances the story forward. But the main goal is freedom for the player. Players can grind in the dungeons, or focus on other things.

Ratings and reviews

The presentation is gorgeous. Love the pixel art. I'm working on a game myself with a similar aesthetic, so this game is right up my alley. Haven't played much yet, but I'm sold. Side note: I'm trying to set fullscreen mode, but the option isn't working in the menu. When I press it, it clicks but doesn't switch from "OFF." Any thoughts why this is not working? Thank you in advance!

The menu system is bad. Needless clicks, it's not clear what button is active, or how to get out of a menu. The "farming" aspect is very basic. There's not really any gameplay there. The missions are not very imaginative, there's not much jeapordy, so not much excitement. However, this is a fair intro to this type of game, and RPGs generally. It suits younger kids. There are few games in this category, especially if, as a parent, you are looking for no horror, blood or needless killing.

Fantastic retro adventure! It has dungeons, farming, mining, quests, huge open world to discover. I love proper retro feel (graphics and music wise) and great game options (filters are cool). I really appreciate attention to details from every NPC having something to say to colour picker for conversation box. Plus female character can be any class (hello warrior!), which is lacking in so many games. Kudos to developer(s), you have done an amazing job!
