A Knight's Quest Launch Trailer, My Thoughts

Meet Rusty. He's got a clumsy streak, but he's a good kid. He never expected to be a hero. But sometimes, life puts people in positions that they did not expect to be put in. Rusty has been put in such a position. After pulling a Secret of Mana and accidentally causing the potential destruction of the world, Rusty must clean up the mess by grabbing a sword and shield, mastering the elements, and kick some evil. He must go...on A Knight's Quest. The launch trailer for the game is here, so let's take a look!


We do see what looks like Rusty wielding several swords and shields. So it looks like he can either upgrade his weapons or obtain better weapons as the game goes on. After all, you can't fight giant monsters with pieces of wood for a sword and shield.

So far, I'm really enjoying the look of the game. It kind of looks like a mix of Legend of Zelda and Secret of Mana.

Hey, Rusty can grind on rails! Reminds me of Sonic Adventure 2! I played the GameCube version of that game.

Wow. That area with the palm tress and rainbows looks like something out of a Disney park.

This game strikes me as a mix of platforming, puzzle-solving, and possibly action-RPG. Hope it pulls the mix off well.

Careful...caaareful...caaaaaaarefullllll...

It appears that we can visit a variety of environments in this game.

The combat here reminds me of Breath of the Wild a little bit.

If it were easy to be a hero, anyone could do it.

Yeah, being a hero involves sometimes getting a beating.

Rusty is okay! ...no, he is not okay.

This game does look like it's mixed up some things from previous games, as I pointed out. However, I don't think that's necessarily a bad thing. I think it does look like the game is taking those elements and making an honest effort to create something unique out of them. The Switch already has one heck of a library as it is, and this looks like it will be another fine addition to it.

Thanks for reading this blog entry! If you liked it, spread it around! See you next time!
