In the end, the game has some fun and amusing moments. You can go through a couple of levels and not get bored. But the small details that usually make a game like this addictive are nowhere to be seen. The developer clearly tried to give us some variety in the gameplay but I don’t see it. I think Once Upon a Knight suffers from “scopeitis” – that terrifying entity that makes a game lose its focus. It looks like it got out of control as they tried to incorporate the “two games in one” angle. It seems to me that the developers had to cut too many corners in the end to get the thing shipped. Trying to be too many things to too many people never works out in the end. If the game had stuck to its RTS or RPG roots it could have been a shiny little gem. But, as it is, Once Upon a Knight just leaves you wishing it was better.
