Fright Knight Legend

Yet I can't recommend this game. As to why, let's start with the negatives: - The general art direction is ugly. I know a pixel artist or a true 3D creator are expensive, but this reminds me of the first attempts at doing 3D games with CGI graphics in the late eighties and the nineties. - I'm not sure why but the dev went for something rather medieval and yet the three characters fight using their fists and feet. That's really off-putting. Why not give them weapons instead? - The story, and as a matter of fact every single line of text feels off, as if an AI had written it. I'm not accusing the dev of using ChatGPT or anything of the sort, just that it doesn't feel natural to me. - Some of the traps are nigh impossible to avoid. They're either too fast or lack graphical feedback for the hitboxes. - Upon the time we played, we've had 4 crashes to desktop, no sound, or couldn't progress to the next level without going back to the menu (not everytime though). - The temporary items are a classic trope of beat 'em all, but they're badly implemented in my opinion. Some of them are straight OP while others, with their slower attack animation, actually punish you for using them. - Last but not least, everything feels floaty. Now, there are a few positives: + The gameplay is quite dynamic. You can kick and punch FAST and that is satisfying. + Although you tend to mostly fight the same enemies, there is enemy variety with different attacks which keeps you on edge. + The bosses have interesting mechanics. So yeah. I feel like the idea for a good game is there, but this definitely needs more work as well as investment. As it is, I can't seriously recommend this game.
