Coward Knight is an epic medi-evil stealth adventure
| Developer: Studio Leaves | Download: Android, iOS (coming soon) |
| Genre: Stealth puzzler | Price: Free (offers in-app purchases) |
All of this serves to explain why you'll be sneaking behind monsters' backs instead of bashing them with your sword. And this is where the game takes clue from Metal Gear Solid. You know Solid Snake is perfectly capable of defeating a small army, let alone a single enemy soldier. It's just that jumping at adversaries Rambo-style makes so much alarm and wastes so much ammo, time and effort that it makes more sense to tiptoe past them. In addition to keeping out of monsters' sight, Coward has to collect rupees (not the ones you use to shop on Flipkart, mind you), avoid clever traps, and if possible, complete each level in the shortest time.
Speaking of levels, the game's so-called "first release" on Android (and soon on iOS) contains the first 20 levels out of the complete set of 48. There is plenty of stealthy, sneaky fun to be had in them. Meanwhile, the graphics style seriously reminds us of an old PSX favorite called MediEvil. With no new games featuring Sir Daniel Fortesque in sight, Coward Knight could fill a small part of that void in gamers' hearts.
