Sentry Knight Tactics

Sentry Knight Tactics is an Adobe Flash/AIR based mobile app like lightweight RTS with lightweight RPG elements and an art style unabashedly stolen from Brian Lee O'Malley's famous Scott Pilgrim comics (the intellectual bankruptcy of stealing someone else's art design is galling here). The game itself is pretty badly written with annoying chunks of VR based text interspersed with pointless grinding and weak small unit size RTS-esque gameplay. It's really important to bear in mind that while the game "works" and can be played, it's up against actual real RTS games like Command and Conquer and the Total War series, and also up against RPG's like Baldurs Gate 3 and Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous. Welcome to Steam, it's the big leagues. So how does this game compare to the giants it's facing off against? Well, badly! From a technical perspective, the game doesn't meet basic minimum requirements that most PC gamers expect as standard. There's no option to change the resolution and no useful graphics tweaks. There's no way to ensure this is running at the native resolution of your display. There's no guarantee this game will look right on any PC as a result of this hamfisted…

$5.00 goes a long way on steam with sales, spend it elsewhere. Played the game all the way through on normal but the final fight is disgustingly over-tuned compared to the entirety of the game. Max level and committing all of your PERMINATE ability score increases into your team with full gear is not enough. I don't expect the final fight to be a cake-walk but this is nearly unplayable. Considering not even 5% of people (as of this review) have beaten act III on normal difficulty, I'd say this game needs a balance run before you buy it. Even worse yet is that the AoE bomb mechanics (big red X on the ground, move out of it) have a radius BIGGER than the graphic. You'll move out of the ability and still get hit. This isn't that big of a deal though out the game but when the final boss is so unbalanced it means you get one shot. I hadn't gotten one shot at any other point in the game so it. The entire rest of the game is fine, worth the 5 dollars this is currently going for but jfc this final fight ruins the experience. It really does feel like either no one played the game before release or the person playing made the most optimized build imaginable and thought it was fine. No wa…

Annoying interface

Pretty fun and simple game. The art style and the sound effects/music give a very relaxed feeling. Story is also straightforward. I like the micromanagement gameplay in this game of controlling multiple units and all their attacks. It gives a nice challenge. I will say though- it gets grindy. Not even so much because of the micromanagment, but because of the quests that require you to kill x amount of enemies just to get further in the story. While I dislike the grinding side of this game, in aspects of graphics, sound, story and combat it is a very fun game to play when you're bored!

I used to like this game until I got to the final boss portal on a hardcore run with only two deaths, only to get stuck wedged between the portal and a wall. I spent 16 hours only to get soft locked at the very end of the game.
