Nonstop Knight 2 - Action RPG 9+

I played the first NSK for about a year before I started losing interest. I hope this installment has some more staying power. So far, after a few hours, I’m really enjoying it. I like how the game speed is slowed down a bit making the use of abilities seem more impactful. The loot also seems more intricate than the original. The overall design is just more interesting. It’s not so much an Idle rpg anymore, but a semi-auto rpg. Playing the actual game is just more fun in this version.
Some people are complaining about the keys, but I’d much rather wait for keys to regenerate than for chests to unlock. Plus if you watch a few ads, you can restock pretty quickly. Also, I’m really not sure how some people aren’t making it past the second dungeon, I’m already in the third world. I didn’t have to do any heavy farming, just played normally. I haven’t spent any money on it yet either, so it’s not pay to play. If I’m still playing a month from now, I’ll definitely drop some cash to compensate the devs for their efforts. But as of now, so far so good, fingers crossed 🤞

It’s a really fun ARPG. The movement is done for you so all you need to worry about is your skills. You do have evasive skills too so you can sorta move manually if you need to get out of danger. Getting new loot is always fun and gear is always around your current power level. So there’s generally constant progression.

My only real gripe with the game is the key system. You can only get loot if you have keys. The keys are used to unlock silver chests after every level. No keys means no loot. You can still play and complete levels to your hearts content without keys but you won’t get any stronger. Leveling up only gets you new skills. The only way to increase your stats is with loot drops. You get 1 key every 60 minutes and can only gain a max of 10 keys. You can go past 10 temporarily if you BUY(or a random add that awards 1 key) keys but that’s it. So every 10 hours you get 10 keys. That’s a little ridiculous. Every level has 3 sub levels I guess. So each level will use 3 keys. Progression just kinda stops when you run out of keys.

All in all I love the game. It’s a ton of fun. I just hope the key system was changed to be less extreme. Maybe make it so you earn a key every 20 minutes or something. Or allow us to hold more than 10. I’d honestly be willing to pay for a faster key rate or more key capacity.

Awesome game. Definitely loads of fun.

The keys should regenerate faster than 1/hr. I think it forces you to spend money or wait basically a day to be able to play and collect loot again. With how quickly you can advance through levels, the keys should regenerate 1 every 20 minutes to keep people interested and playing. It’s not like a silver chest earns you an epic or legendary all the time so it would still keep the game interesting. Also more unique legendary items that aren’t a part of a set would be a nice addition. Also I think the reward for watching ads is too low. I know a big reason for making these games is to make money but I hardly think awarding 50 gems every day is gonna keep people from spending money if they really want to. It just makes it so that the non pay-to-play people can still have a shot at advancing without playing for a year straight.

Other than that I think the game is awesome and it’s definitely one of my top 5 games to recommend right now.
