    I loved the nostaglic feel to the 3D platforming action, though some of the puzzles had me reaching for the off button. Battling through them was ultimately rewarding though, and kept me cracking on through the adventure. While it’s unlikely Xbox exclusive players will get to tackle the brilliant Breath of the Wild anytime soon, A Knight’s Quest is about as solid an attempt as we’ll see on our console for now.

    I absolutely loved my time with A Knight's Quest. It's a lighthearted journey that's full of satisfying and intricate puzzles and boss fights with plenty of humour thrown in for good measure, too.

    Overall, a Knight's Quest has a lot of charm, happiness and heart to it. The huge world Rusty is in is fantastic, leaving you wondering where you'll wander next. However, I wasn't a huge fan of the inventory system as the 'glitches' seemed to make picking up certain items impossible. I also wasn't a huge fan of button mashing and having abilities that really didn't have that much power, but I did enjoy the experience overall regardless of these issues. I would recommend folks that are wanting to try out a Knight's Quest just be aware of the glitches and the style of combat. Other than that, I am going to let Rusty adventure on his own for a while.

    There are not many adventures on Xbox which resemble The Legend of Zelda, and so A Knight’s Quest might be a fun little alternative for Xbox gamers who are after that style of adventure. For most gamers however, this is an average clone at best, which despite some good intentions simply underwhelms in execution.

    If I had to suggest just a few things to improve this game, they would be to shrink everything down so the fun bits are packed together more tightly, let us use the warp crystals from the start and make standard enemies die in three hits. There’s a great game hidden somewhere here, but it’s stretched so thin I have to squint hard to see it.

    This is a quest that probably should have spent more time in the planning stages.

    While A Knight’s Quest can have its moments, the negative outweigh anything positive. The fun is eclipsed by an infuriating nonexistent roadmap of what you’re supposed to do. While I was able to get to the end, for some reason my save file got erased and all of my progress was lost. After that mishap, I had mixed feelings. I love getting achievements and feel I didn’t have long to complete the game which had me upset. However, I realized it was a blessing in disguise and freed me from having to continue getting lost again or wasting hours figuring out where to go next.

As you learn toA Knights Quest is a 3rd person fantasy action-adventure puzzle platformer. You play as Rusty, an explorer in an ancient ruin. As you learn to control Rusty, you unlock some ancient evil setting the events of your Quest in motion. After a town Meeting the Mayor decides Rusty needs to seek out the Spirit Warriors, and thus your adventure begins. Full of whimsical humor, and zany characters. A Knights Quest keeps a smile on your face as you roam the open world in search of the power and skill to stop what you set in motion to begin with. Combat is a simple system, with smooth and responsive controls, and even in the toughest of battles leaves you feeling accomplished. Parrying is a core aspect to cambat, and is easy enough to do achieve that it doesn't feel combersome. As you progress along you are granted Elemental Powers each with their own accompaying weapons that can be switched between seamlesly durring combat. You also acquire items and skills that grant you access to more areas, or easier paths, like the Grind Boots that allow you to slide along the many rails in the game. The Story is light, but deep enought to keep you engaged. Humor pours from the cracks of this game, keeping everything light hearted even in the most dire of situations. A Knights Tale is an amazingly fun, and funny, game with it's own twist to the standard Adventure Game, a definite for fans of Puzzle Platforming, and silly humor.… Expand

    A KNIGHT'S QUEST    Это было плохо. Вот правда, даже лживые обзоры купленной прессы не помогут Метакритику выровнять пользовательские оценки.

    A KNIGHT'S QUEST - это плохая приключенческая игра. Оптимизация для Бокса и сама цветовая палитра в игре очень хорошая. Всё остальное - отвратительно. Геймплей слабый, режиссура диалогов слабая, персонажи ПЫТАЮТСЯ быть смешными, но по факту всё превращается в нелепый фарс. Мир довольно большой для инди игры, но в нём ничего нет. Он пустой, там нечем заняться. Плохое интро, слабая подача самого сюжета, занудные пазлы... Куча моментов непродуманных, глюков и багов внутри игры.

    Это было плохо, вот правда. Мне было жаль потраченных денег на эту игру на Боксе. Плохая приключенческая игра, не советую брать.    … Expand
