Famous Knight is a dungeon crawler where you need to use the power of your fans to make progress!
(Or not.)
It’s a unique twist the traditional dungeon crawler. Instead of pairing up with 3 others in order to defeat enemies, collect loot, and beat the boss, you pair up with all your raving fans who only get in your way and halt your progress.
You play as a noble knight whose only job is to take over dungeons filled with baddies. Sadly, you have a lot of townsfolk to are there to cheer you on. They’ll follow you into different rooms, platforms, and even during battles. And they’ll get in your way. And stay in it.
You need to navigate treacherous traps, enemies, puzzles, and bosses all while your dozens of fans follow you around to watch all the action.
If you lure them into a trap, they’ll get killed. This only affects your “fame” which is calculated when you beat the level. If you have a lot of fans that survive to the end, you’ll get a better fame rating. You need to balance out killing off some fans and keeping them to get a better rating. That’s another element you need to take into consideration during your dungeon crawling.
And they don’t’ only get int he way. You have to pause to sign autographs, push them out of the way, and also deal with their fan signs and camera flashes at the same time. Being popular isn’t always good.
The game features retro pixelated artwork with an 8-bit design. The colors are fitting for a dungeon game, so you shouldn’t expect too much. The fans are multicolored and are annoying enough, so you’ll be preoccupied with them more than the dungeon itself. It’s funny and frustrating at the same time.
Famous Knight features a few dungeons in this build, but they’re difficult. You’re armed with a sword which is upgradeable every time you beat a dungeon. You’ can also upgrade your battle skill and even your appearance (which will attract more fans and boost your “fame” level).
This game is pretty awesome and offers a unique take which a touch of humor touch. It’s worth a lay through just so you can see how it really is to be famous hero.
It’s browser-based (HTML5) so no download is required.
