 Introduction Howdy! Welcome to the world of Knighthood, a turn-based RPG from Midoki, developers of Plunder Pirates, Crazy Taxi City Rush, Go Deliver, and Recce. I haven't played any of those, so I suppose that's not relevant. Knighthood is colorful, well-animated, surprisingly deep, and (so far at least) f2p-friendly. So gather round the campfire while I learn you what this game is all about.  The Basics  Gameplay is pretty simple. Each turn you have 4 action points to spend (upper right). You can use those to 1) hit the enemy with your weapon, building up chain attacks for more damage, 2)punch the enemy with your gauntlet, building up rage to unleash heroes, 3)use a hero's basic attack or summon them for a special attack, or 4)use a potion to heal, protect yourself, or build your rage meter. Hitting the enemy is as simple as tapping the screen. Punching is done by either swiping up or tapping the rage meter icon (lower left). You can click on the monster portraits on the left and right sides of the screen to target a different enemy. Your armor and health are in the top left. Heroes that heal you generally will replenish armor if your health is already full. Auto is in the top center. Battles you can auto-fight can go up to 3x speed if you keep clicking that button. The number of enemy waves is in the top right in the dark blue bar. Any questions? Good! Let's take a look at your sexy self. Your dude (a gender-neutral term in the year 2020)  When you start, you'll be able to do a decent customization job on your hero. Skin and hair colors, hairstyle, gender, etc. Merchants sell customization options, and you'll find them in chests as well. If you've ever played another action RPG, you'll be instantly familiar with the gear system. Different rarities are different colors (gray, green, blue, purple, orange), and take rarer materials to level up. Each weapon is strong against one of nine mob types, dealing double damage, and rarer gear has slots for charms that add bonuses to your abilities. Armor comes in different flavors like light, heavy, and magical. Wearing multiples of a like type grants a bonus to damage reduction vs that type. You'll be able to power up your gauntlet too, and unlock a dozen or so stronger ones along the way. Heroes  I'm not going to list every hero because there are a ton! You can take two into each battle. Like I mentioned earlier, each one has a basic and special attack, and are strong vs one mob type. If you've ever wanted a bear that fires a gatling crossbow, this is the game for you. Level them up by fighting with them, sending them on missions at shrines, or granting them exp with scrolls of heroism. Inventory This game has an inventory. Hallelujah! Minions  Minions are your PvP buddies. It's like Pokemon except you have to get your hands dirty too. You can capture them out in the wild, and each gauntlet can capture certain ones. You don't have to do anything special in battle to capture them other than wear the gauntlet. That battle bear owns bones. He growls a bit too often, tho. Capturing a duplicate minion will turn it into food you can feel your minion to give it a temporary battle boost. Gross. Codex The codex is for you completionist types to keep track of all the gear and whatnot you've collected. Now, into the world! Things to do  Check out all that stuff! You'll unlock those areas as you go. Here's a quick runthrough: Explore - The world map to dick around in when you're in a meeting. This game is in portrait mode, baby! Look like you're being productive. Versus Arena - You get 3 free battle tickets per day. Use them to pound on enemy players. The higher you rank the better the rewards! Guild Coliseum - Your guild can summon a huge raid boss for everyone to fight. Chip away at its health until it dies. The faster you do it...the better the rewards! Costs one meat, which you get daily from your guild island. Hunts - The bread and butter of getting hero shards to rank up your heroes and ores to level up your gear. Finish each hunt in 6 turns or fewer and you'll be able to auto-complete it 5 times daily. Shrine of Heroes - Send your heroes you aren't using off on missions to bring back gear and level them up. You will invariably send the hero you'll need most in your next fight. Learn to love it. Merchants - Buy stuff! Weapons, armor, customizations, potions, charms, etc. Monster Cave - Filled with a new monster each day. Every time you beat it, you get to beat it again but harder, just like your genitals! Costs one torch to fight, which you'll get from daily quests. Dwarven Foundry - Take your old busted loot or charms and have your dwarven buddies pound them into something better! Onslaught Dungeon - This pit of pain resets daily. You'll only be able to use a hero once per day, so choose wisely! Enlighten Library - Coming soon! Roaming Monsters - These pests pop up throughout the day, coming and going quickly. They each have three bonus objectives. Meet them to get a bonus reward! Some will drop additional torches, meats, and arena tickets. ? - Coming soon! Guilds  Need a place to hang your hat? Join or create a guild. Guardians of Freedom is pretty casual. I just ask that if you're going to be away for a few days to let me know. Post here with your ingame name or PM me if you'd like an invite. Every week a vote gets taken on a bonus. This week it's bonus damage vs. a guild boss or extra money. The higher your level, the more money you get. Valador created GOON SQUAD when the game launched. Feel free to check them out too!

Sure! It’s a fantastic game. Y’all are doing good work. So far my only gripe with it is I’ve lost guild leader twice trying to promote someone cause I fatfingered the make leader button. A confirmation dialogue would be most appreciated.

Yooo game is good fun, simple and entertaining. Art style owns too. It does kinda annoy me how many weapon and armour types there are to level though, luckily this can kinda be ignored by just punching everything instead.

Yeah, I haven’t focused too much on different armor sets unless a side quest calls for it, but I can see where it’d make some of the fights easier to min/max

I've played this for a few days now, and it's a really fun game. It seems pretty well balanced too, which isn't all that common in mobile games. I'm absolutely loving the art style and animations, too.

Last weekend for the Dark Tor event! Yeah, I’m really enjoying this as well. Strategic enough to be interesting, casual enough to be casual. I gotta figure out if it’s worth having a bunch of purple swords or one orange sword and a bunch of blues, though.

That's a great question. After getting hosed upgrading some blues early, I think I'm just gonna farm until I'm guaranteed one or two types I need.

This is a great little game, the only problem I'm running into in the early going is running out of energy. I think energy cost is too high across the board; some of these random monsters need like 60. Is there an easier way to get energy down the line?

For the most part all your gems should go towards stamina refills. And I definitely am selective about the rewards and stamina cost on roamers

Same. It gets ridiculous up in White Peaks and Realm of Fire. I’ve seen some posts elsewhere that asked the devs to take a look at it

So this game is pretty fun but it also feels a bit slow. It's slow because of all the battle animations, which look cool the first few times but after the 20th time I never want to see a viking blowing into an alpine horn ever again. It's slow because while the UI/UX is pretty good for the most part, it's also annoying that I can't look at my inventory when I'm shopping for weapons or armor so I don't know if I need to buy that magical shoulder or not without changing screens. There also seems to be a huge amount of grinding which is starting to be apparent on the 3rd location. This sidequest wants me to grind hunts to unlock someone and then grind more to level them up. I can't beat the next event stage because my weapons are no longer good, but I don't have enough materials to level another one up without even more grinding. Leveling up my pve heroes seems like it's going to take forever. I'm fine with some amount of grinding but having to grind this early is sending warning signs for what the end game looks like because imo the story quests at this early on should be doable with an organically developed team/set of armors.

The game is grindy but between auto and being able to raid when you three star, I don’t mind it so much. But this is a grind game through and through. White Peaks is where you really hit the wall. Also if you hold the screen during an enemy turn it speeds it up. You shouldn’t be buying gear to equip so the lack of compare shouldn’t be an issue. Buying the 20 plus gray armor at Lakefen is the only exception I would argue to hold you over. The equipment you want to buy is for the Foundry and dismantling for charms. Basically the gray and green rank 1 gear. IMO the best way to craft gear is with rank 1 gear until you get appropriate charm slots, then you level/rank it up. A blue with two armor charm slots can take you to the end. Focus on one weapon, don’t spread yourself thin. Ideally you get a blue with crit/buff that’s a troll, undead or demon. With charms and maxed to your level it won’t matter it’s not a strong vs the specific enemy type most of the time and gives you time to gradually build up other weapons. Roughly I wouldn’t upgrade any green to rank 3 and only blues if they have the right charms. Hence buying the gray to tide you over. FYI a blue armor charm gives 30% armor, it’s insane and why a blue with two armor is better than a purple with no armor charm. Character wise don’t spread yourself thin either. Throw everything at Titania. She’s insane and can be used in any fight. Always do her hunts before anyone else to get her four star bonus. Leveling characters gets a lot easier. Anaara, Wormwood and Krusa are great secondary focuses. Add in Vordrai from guild and a demon eventually, probably Dvalin. Also don’t worry about side quests so much. You hit a spot where they hang around on your list for a while and you gradually get to it instead of a main priority. Oh yeah don’t use gems for anything except stamina refills.

This is all solid info. Hell, I ended up getting stuck on the Onslaught Dungeon side quest, and when I beat it the other day, it opened up a side quest for Mirefen, even though I'm in Realm of Fire and already had the similar side quest for White Peaks.

I can’t believe they hosed up the game this badly by removing treasure chests from Roaming Monsters.

Yeah, this chest removal is awful. I can now get 1 blue item a week, as opposed to multiple chances daily. That's really, really going to kill my chances to better my gear in any meaningful way.

The backlash has been pretty universal so hopefully they’ll fix it. I do like the addition of the energy cost info to roaming monsters. I’m working on an update to the OP

Yeah roaming monsters are dead to me. Not worth the high energy cost.

I never bothered do to roaming bosses outside of finishing a quest so I don’t really get the outrage. Was I suppose to be doing them this whole time? I kinda thought gear would come from pve like other rpgs so I didn’t know I was suppose to transmute for everything…

Nah you are fine. It was end game because farming better gear to get better charms and charm slots was your main activity. They have nothing else to spend stamina on now because they don’t need to raid hunts. It’s around White Peaks you hit a wall so you need time to get better gear and level up your heros. Since resources for leveling/ranking gear get scarce you don’t want to just level up a legendary with poo poo charms. Reminder a blue with two defense charms is better than a legendary with blah charms. You would farm the chests to feed the transmute beast until you rolled a piece with good charms and then leveled that up. But now they cut off the only regular source of equipment/charm fodder. So in current state the primary way to get equipment after blue is to spend your gems on bounty rerolls until there’s a piece like legendary you want. Then you check a schedule on the spawns which is not guaranteed and hope your target spawns at that time. This is compared to before where you would spend gems on stamina to beat whatever roaming monsters are there and play for as long as you like. A grind but nice and steady progress.

Ah, so there is a thread for this. I made a guild called SA Goons because there wasn't one when I started playing and it seems like at least RetroJoe is in it. If you want in let me know and I can kick some idiots, the Guild ID is 10alRl2n.
