So it begins happily dancing away as the rest of the kingdom is plagued by monsters and Barbarians. So what kind of kingdom holds feasts and dances whilst its populous burns. This kingdom it seems and for good reason. It seems this kingdom has Knights so powerful they could kill every living thing in the kingdom single handed.


But that's not where the fun in this game lies. The fun lies in adding other players to your quest what was once one mans quest to murder anything that looked at him funny quickly becomes a joyful romp of slaughter.





It plays much like many other side scrolling arcade beat-em-ups of old. The players move from left to right killing anything that would get in our heroic murderous knights way. However as a console game there lies within a RPG element to the fray. As players level by gaining exp primarily from each hit one gets on their opponents.


The joy however is in the presentation.Its a silly Cel-shaded giggling fit. I gains a lot of its charm in the background with various characters most of who are not interactive. There's the scared animals who cant help but leave propelled by their own excrement to name but one.



The boss's are inventive to say the least. However some rely to much on having someone with ranged attacks. This really hurt my first play as out of the three of us not one had any skill in magic or archery. However it was still enjoyable jumping around and flailing wildly. Thankfully its very hard to all out die in this game should you be playing multiplayer. A small CPR minigame has been added by hitting the heart in the center of the meter its possible to be revived with near full health. This removes a lot of the challenge from the boss fights.


Altogether its a very enjoyable and memorable game with lots to praise it for. But its not without its faults Sometimes its difficult to get the right positioning to hit a foe. Sometimes some monsters seem to have great prejudice against one player(Particularly the buff knights having some kind of personal grudge against my poor blue knight) But this does not sidetrack from the fun.


Try the trail first and if you like what you see you should definitely consider making it a purchase And when i get my 360 back be sure to drop me a line. Because i am defiantly looking forward to playing through it again.


(P.S Zam the only reason you did not unlock a new character to play was because you changed characters half way through the game you need to redo the early levels and beat the last boss again to unlock yourself a new character.)
