Ten princesses have been captured and have been locked up in a tower. As a heroic knight, players must climb the structures and face off against numerous scary beasts and save the damsels in distress one by one. Boasting addicting gameplay and nicely drawn animations – as well as tons of upgrades and powerups – Knightmare Tower is a very engaging game that will have players glued to their seats as they try to save princesses before the lava catches up to them or until they succumb to the monsters that grow more numerous and powerful with each passing second.
Gameplay
Knightmare Tower is a casual game where players must climb a tower in order to save each of the ten princesses that has been captured. Each game will begin with the character shot from a rocket, the strength of which is defined by the player’s timing. During flight, players can move left and right as well as dash downwards, slashing enemies that appear on the screen. Some enemies are tougher than others, and can also deal damage to players. Players are given limited health, and if players are damaged enough, or if lava reaches them, then the level will end.
What is happening essentially is a race against the lava. Players will get to speed up while they slice enemies, and they will slow down while they are not killing monsters. Dashing downwards without hitting anything will also cause the lava to rise faster.
Currency
Coins are the main currency within the game, and these are earned primarily by defeating monsters, collecting princesses, and completing quests. There are also special offers that will earn players free coins. Coins can be used in the store to make purchases such as upgrades, potions, powerups, new skins, and many more.
Store
The store is a very important place for players to visit once they have accumulated enough coins. The store is where players can upgrade their characters so that they can become faster, stronger, or more durable, among other effects. Players can also unlock potions at the store, which will allow them access to powerups that will provide different effects such as increased speed and strength and invulnerability, among others, for a limited amount of time. Players can also purchase armor and other accessories that will change how your character looks.
Powerups
Aside from items purchased at the store, players can also unlock powerups as they rescue princesses. These include beasts that will provide items such as additional health and coins, as well as horns that can summon a monster that players can beat up in order to greatly increase your speed. Players should prioritize getting these items once they appear as they can be very important in helping them rescue princesses and accomplish missions.
Quests
In addition to rescuing princesses, there are also goals for players to accomplish. Goals are presented in sets of three, and players can try to complete any one during regular gameplay. Goals include killing a specific number of monsters, reaching a certain speed, collecting a specific powerup a number of times, and many more. Your current progress for a particular task is displayed on screen, and completing them will unlock more quests for players to perform as well as rewards in the form of coins.
Survival Mode
Once all ten princesses have been rescued, Survival Mode will be unlocked. This is essentially an endless mode where players can try to reach as far up as they can. This will add variety to the game, and players can replay the game over and over again to beat their personal scores.
Tips and Tricks
Upgrade speed and velocity attributes as soon as you can. These are more important during the early stages of the game as most monsters here can be defeated with only a few strikes. Once you have reached the tower with more powerful enemies, then prioritize spending coins towards strength and durability.
It would also be wise to try and accomplish goals as soon as possible, as this is the fastest way to earn a lot of coins that you can use towards upgrading yourself. Don’t forget also to acquire items that appear during each round, as these would be very helpful in making you reach the princess without dying.
Lastly, learn to properly time dashes so that these would not be wasted. More powerful monsters can be bashed multiple times, so keep attacking until they are defeated. Use the same strategy against multiple enemies. Be careful in hitting open spaces, though, as you might find yourself hurtling to the bottom and the lava rising faster. Also, look for visual cues from monsters that are just about to attack. This is symbolized by them flashing to white. Avoid striking monsters that have spikes as well as the trajectories of monsters that can emit projectiles when this happens.
