Diehard GameFAN Review: Knights Onrush (iPhone)
Knights Onrush
Developer: MoreGames
Publisher: Chillingo
Genre: Strategy/Castle Defense
Release Date: 6/3/2009
As I stated in my review of Toki Tori, in the sprawling metropolis that was the iPhone and it’s capabilities, games were like the seedy back alley; I didn’t want to go near them lest I end up demoralized, short of money, and possibly with an STD. If that alley was loaded with hookers and prostitutes, at the very least, Toki Tori was the Vivian Ward of the group; a charming, intellectual sort that you just wanted to take home and snuggle with.
Along those lines, we have Knights Onrush, which can best be described as a more presentable version of cult favourite Stick Wars. The general gist of the games are the same, but can MoreGames out-do John Hartzog’s creation, and justify a price increase of 500% ($5 vs. $1)?
Which game is better is really up to the opinion of the player, but Knights Onrush has enough polish, replayability and entertainment value that anyone purchasing the game will not regret it. Read more…
Only Squeenix could piss me off about a release to a sequel to one of the greatest RPGs of all time.
Toki Tori
In retrospect, it’s kinda funny. But the more I think about it, the angrier I get. The fact that this is going to be the first entry of the new Superbusnet.com is also pretty sad.
