If you think you can swing your hefty sword
with medieval armor weighing on your back in Knight Lite,
you couldn’t be more wrong. Instead, Knight Lite will
have you believe brains win over brawn after 9 challenging
levels of memory exercise. Knight Lite, another cool game
developed by Clickgamer, is a memory reflex game where you
must repeat the correct music notes by pushing the color-coded
buttons. Even though it’s a remake of a classic game,
Knight Lite gives us a new look by designing the game around
a love plot.
In the opening of the game, you will see
an animation scene where the Viking King steals your hero’s
girlfriend and sails away in a boat. You must guide your
hero knight through several levels of chase to get the girl
back, beat the Viking King in a sword fight at level 5 and
then run like hell with your girl in tow to escape the ghost
of the Viking King in hot pursuit. In each level, you will
need to repeat the correct number and sequence given on the
three buttons with different colors and musical notes. The
first few levels are quite easy with only 3-6 notes to remember.
As you advance to the last few levels, the task becomes daunting
with more musical notes added to the sequence. The game demands
your full attention and a very alert brain.
The makeover of the game interface and
the embedded love story make this game fun to play. Each
level you travel through has its unique environment including
forest, icy kingdom, city skyline and more. The story is
built perfectly to move the game from beginning to end with
a sword fight in the middle. The graphics look slick and
polished with cartoon-ish style. Characters are fun and lovable.
The fading buttons and particle effects are nicely crafted,
making this game a complete package for a unique and fun
memory game.
The sound tracks are an enhancement to
the gaming experience, and the sound FX is part of the game
play. As your character travels through a Winter icy bridge
or chases the love of his life to heaven, you will hear theme
tracks like Winter and Heaven. The three buttons in the game
have musical notes values, which will help you to remember
the sequence along with visual aids. Knight Lite supports
all Pocket PC devices including ARM/Xscale, MIPS and SH3.
It’s not often that a classic remake
can come together so nicely with an interesting story, nice
graphic and audio design. Knight Lite certain has achieved
this. The game isn’t long, but later levels are certainly
challenging. For gamers who like memory games, this is a
very good title to have! |
