Siege Knight

Genre: Upgrades, Shooter

Game Review
A fun tower defense and shooting game hybrid. This time I'm going to review Siege Knight, a fun tower defense and shooting hybrid flash game. In a fantasy world, you play as a Siege Knight going against skeletons, orcs and other creatures of the dark to defend the castle.

The game concept is pretty easy to explain. You defend your castle by defeating wave after wave of enemies through strategic trap placement and fast shooting. You will win once you defeat all the attackers, else you lose if the hitpoints of your castle reduce to zero. At the beginning, you only have access to one trap, the spike trap, which you can place on the battlefield. Slowly but surely, you will level up. You gain talent points from leveling and use it to upgrade your character's abilities and unlock more traps.

As far as weapons go, you start with a bow but can use upgrades to add a shotgun then lastly a cannon to your arsenal. If that is not enough, you can also unlock spells like fireball, iceball or a healing spell and use it in addition. Fun, though the field of vision needs to extend past the firing range. Either that or coins need to pick themselves up. Enemies drop a generous amount of coins on the floor but disappear fairly quickly. A coin magnet upgrade is always a welcome option in these types of games.

I enjoyed the whole game but I think it can be better. I highly suggest adding a storyline. It adds value to the game and I want to know why am I fighting or defending for... ^^ Graphics in Siege Knight are pretty appealing and music/effects suited incredibly well. Overall, Siege Knight is a little too easy for my taste even though the difficulty level increases near the end of the game. To end off, I think Siege Knight is an interesting blend of shooting and tower defense. Worth giving a quick run!

Siege Knight Walkthrough
For anyone having trouble with Siege Knight. Here is my simple guide to finish the game. I went with fully upgraded Archers in the first 3 rows to the right. Shielded them with two rows of fully upgraded walls, then another two row of Spike Trap. Lastly, end of with Freeze Trap. I think the most powerful combo you can unleash is Cannon(3) - Shotgun(2) - Bow(1). Simply hold the shoot button and press 321, 321 and repeat. Need not to be fast, just do it rhythmically. You will kill many other enemies with cannon this way. Don't forget that fireball and iceball are cheap and able to do triple damage if the target is frozen or burning. Switching back and forth the spells Fireball - Iceball - Fireball, will allow you to kill Dragons and Fire Demons quickly.
