Kingslayer: The First Assassin

[b]kingslayer: the first assassin[/b] wears its primary goal on its sleeves: kill the king, as ronnie james dio once sang. tear him down even. 27 of the [b]29 levels[/b] are unlocked from the start, each consisting of a grid, a dagger representing you, a gate representing the exit, and a bunch of other tiles. walls, transparent walls you can walk through, various soldiers that take one or two hits to kill, barrels to push out of the way, traps that decrease the move count every time you step on them, some sort of metal thing that destroys daggers (can go into negative numbers), and tiles that grant extra moves or daggers. later on gates will be locked and a number of keys have to be picked up before leaving. so it's a puzzler with [b]mandatory move and dagger limits[/b], can't just wander around and kill (or avoid) everybody. no problem with such resource management elements, but [b]no undo[/b] can be a pain, though not as much as in some other games without it, as levels are relatively short and easy. [b]enemies moving in real-time on two levels near the end[/b] were pretty frustrating though, left a sour taste instead of ending on a high (or just a regular) note. the minimalist presentation is okay, the music matches the theme, controls work well too (arrows or wasd to move, no diagonals, 'r' to reset), but can't hold movement keys to move more than one tile, which is probably for the best without undo. a volume slider for music is available (no sound effects), but the mouse bugs out occasionally, the cursor comes and goes, have to click the screen to make it appear, otherwise accessing the menu is cumbersome. [b]the full screen/windowed toggle is useless[/b] as well, since the usual window management icons are present in both cases, only they're against a dark background in 'full screen', and the window can't be moved or resized either, nor is 'full screen' remembered between sessions. it's pretty good otherwise, as simple as the concept is, a [b]roughly 2-hour experience[/b], but would be better if it got a bit more attention from the developer.

A very nice game and worth its money. The levels are interesting headscratchers with simple enough mechanics, but complex enough to have you think to pass each (or just use trial and error). I appreciate the chess aesthetic and the serene music, but it doesn't have a lot of replayability. Still, it was a funn play, and I recommend it if you can get it on the sales. If you wanna be an extra funny dude, play it on the Ides of March.

A fun, minimalist puzzle game that's more relaxing than frustrating. It offers just enough challenge in the final levels to leave you with a satisfying sense of accomplishment. The aesthetic is neat, and it doesn't overstay its welcome, making it a perfect little experience. Plus, it was on sale for under a dollar, so I’m absolutely happy with my purchase. Verdict: For the price, ten pigeon pies out of ten. Would regicide again!

Приятные минималистичные головоломки под расслабляющую музыку. Присутствуют небольшие проблемы с оптимизацией, которые становятся заметны при появлении движущихся элементов на последних уровнях и долго запущенной игре. В целом уровни и их прогрессия выстроены интересно, игра незатянута и заканчивается прежде, чем успеет надоесть (~1 час). Рекомендую любителям жанра.

Jogo simples, gráfico bonito e minimalista, música relaxante, sem quebra-cabeças muito hardcore e preço baixinho. Um dos poucos puzzles que cheguei tão longe! Gostei de mais!

ゲームの画面は固い感じですが、ルールは簡単で手軽にできる楽しいゲームです。難しさを感じるところもありましたが、逆に後半なのに拍子抜けするくらいあっさりクリアできるステージもありました。ライトなパズルが好きな人に特におすすめです。

In this game, you need to observe each step to be taken, to be a King Slayer. I recommend for anyone likes a puzzle and stealth games.

Very interesting maze game! There are multiple obstacle types that keep the game fresh after each level and make you think through multiple paths to get to the right one. The soundtrack also is good, and match the mood of the game nicely
