Knightica is a fairly standard auto battler roguelike game. You start with a few standard units that you decide the placement of on your game board. Don’t put your mages up close, and make sure your melee can close the distance, standard stuff. Over time you accumulate gold and more units — some are larger than others, so you have to place them carefully! You’re tasked with saving the kingdom, battle by battle. As with all other roguelikes, if you fail, you start over.
The battles tend to break down the same way many roguelikes do. Did you find That One OP Unit? No? Well, game over then. The cartoon styling to boot means that this is a great one for kids, or as a little break from something more hardcore and gory, with relatively bite-sized play. Plus, as always, that pricetag of free ninety-nine courtesy of Epic means you should give this one a shot.
