The Worst Knight

Một trò chơi hiệp sĩ cổ điển, nhưng đảo ngược. Thật tốt là xấu.

You are the most famous knight in the entire kingdom, and the shallow princess has claimed you for husband. You would prefer to stay single, but rejecting her will result in your own royal execution, since nobody denies the daughter of the king. Instead, you will try to sabotage your own marriage, by becoming known as the worst knight in the history of knights. Surely, the king would stop the wedding, if his daughter were to marry a loser, but you should hurry, the wedding is in 2 weeks.

The meat and bread of the game takes place in the quests given to you by the local peasants. You take one quest a day for the 14 days the game takes. The goal for the player is to not follow the plea from the questgiver, but to be as unhelpful as possible, so that nobody would want to ask you for your help again. You do this by causing as much havoc as possible in as little time as possible. Instead of protecting the farmhouse from the enemies, you use the enemies’ abilities to destroy the farmhouse.

During these quests you can encounter 3 different types of enemies: The big trolls that throws rocks, the fishmen M’grells that will attack you with their spears, and the tiny gnomes packed with explosives that will attempt to blow up on you. As the player you can trick these enemies into attacking the objectives you are supposed to protect. Doing this reduces your reputation, if you can reduce your reputation enough to become the worst knight before the 14 day time-limit, you have won the game. Other thing that will make your reputation decrease is if you make the enemieskill each other, getting hit by the enemies, making the enemies kill the sheep and overreacting if you take damage.

The game is seen from slightly above, and you control the game through holding down tracking on a virtual joystick and swiping for various actions. Play sessions for the game can be as short as 3-5 minutes, since completing a single level does not take more time.
