Fight for honor and glory the extremely old-fashioned way in this intuitive 2D jousting game.
Amazing Game, 1 question

I’ve had a great time playing the game. From the moment I picked it up I’ve been hooked. First of all amazing customization with so much variety. Secondly fun graphics, reminds me of older games. Lastly I have no idea why people are complaining so much about the mechanics now yes it might be a little bit luck based but not to the extremes that people are saying you just have to take a little bit of time to study the bounce mechanic and then master it. In the future though it would be nice if it was more skill based. Ok now the question, what exactly does it mean when you go up against a ruler and where their helmet should be it just says royalty. Does it mean I can’t hit it or is it one shot, or is it something else entirely? Overall great game, for anybody who’s come to complain please be nice to the developers while it might have some problems remember it’s a brand new game, that also has great potential.

Thank you so much for the awesome review and encouragement! Yes, 'Royalty' just means that you (being a good knight) dare not strike a royal adversary on the head for fear of committing regicide - therefore, any royal characters effectively can only be struck on the shield or torso. However I can see your point and I think we'll try and clarify exactly what that means the first time a royal shows up. We're glad to hear you're enjoying our game and look forward to sharing more updates with you soon!

I really enjoy this game, so much so, that I bought the $3 full game. This game is very challenging, but rewarding. I love how the armor changes the color of the helmet, and that you can use any shield, armor, or helmet as cosmetics, but I am very confused on how advantage works. It says in the tips of the pause menu that the player will always do damage before the ai, but I have repeatedly lost a joust that I should have won, with the enemy even falling from their horse, yet I still am the loser. For additions, I personally think its just a bit too hard to hit royalty, as they only have two hit boxes, and they are fought without slow mode. I think if they were extended to have three hit boxes, or even just making the hit boxes slightly bigger, would suffice, and it could be justified as royalty of the time tended to be on the larger side, as it showed they were wealthy. Also, I would love if there were more options than just tournaments after reclaiming your land. I would love to eventually see a map of land you control, and you can fight battles with your troops, with you being on horseback. I think 1v1 duels against rivals would also be a cool addition, to grow that rivalry and hatred. Overall, this is a very good and fun game, with much replayability.

Game based solely on luck NOT skill

Think you're good at the game since you're defeating opponents left and right? Think again. With ZERO ways to grind to get better skill or gear, you have to constantly throw yourself at the same tournament over and over again until you magically win. Doesn't matter if you strike first and have full health in everything. You could get knocked off your horse with the first tilt. If I could go back to other tournaments and actually grind to increase my health, gear, and skills THEN I'd actually have a chance to win. When all your opponents have dead-on accuracy and better gear than you, it's all based on luck on where your opponent hits you and if it will be a blow that unseats you or not. I'm forever stuck at Stuttgart as I deleted the game since why continue to throw myself against enemies when I have no way to actually get better to defeat them and just HOPE I don't get unseated in the first couple of rounds? Either make it an RPG or give us some way to actually get better skill and gear without continuously throwing ourselves at the same tournament, otherwise this is a fun game. It's just held back by no other mechanics beyond jousting over and over again. The gear is cosmetic or doesn't seem to offer any difference.

Hi, we're sorry to hear about your experiences, but thought we could shed some light (on topics that are deliberately not described in detail for simplicity's sake... but are important!)First and foremost, we fully agree with how frustrating it is to lose to a critical hit, and this was not really the intended purpose of critical hits. We're very close now to releasing our next major update and that includes a mechanic change to make critical hits a human-only event - to reward player skill rather than punish unlucky numbers.Secondly, we've really done our level best to make sure player skill is rewarded first and foremost. The way Knight Lancer actually registers hits makes it so that a winning player hit will always trump a computer, so if you aim true you will always win.We hope the change to the critical hit mechanic especially will make the later stages of the game more rewarding, and hope you'll return to give our game another try when Knight Lancer 1.4 goes live!
