GameSpy has put up a review of Zuxxez' RTS/RPG hybrid 'KnightShift' ('Once Upon A Knight' in the US/Canada). Rating: 2 out of 5 stars.
In case you finish the campaigns and want more, Once Upon A Knight includes a skirmish mode and an RPG campaign. The skirmish mode is standard for real-time strategy games, base-building, and destroying all enemies being the prime game types. It plays exactly like the base-building section of the campaign mode.

The RPG campaign includes both standalone games and a multiple chapter story. You can select from a class, such as barbarian or knight, and when you gain experience points you can add to certain abilities and skills. The RPG mode is more of an adventure game with RPG elements than true role-playing. As with the RTS campaign, the role-playing portion of the game leaves you less than satisfied. Combat is simplified and the lack of serious role-playing means it almost entirely follows an endless loop of "attack, pick up treasure, raise character stats."
