the fact that this game (being an april fools' game) was intended to never be updated, yet already has had two in its first week, says a bit about the potential. It might not be a game that you'll play consistently over a month but the gameplay loop is pretty satisfying.

at this point, the game is a bit of a novelty, with no player stats or anything of the sort available, but the exaggerated, tongue-in-cheek animations plus the absurdity of gunplay between medieval knights is just plain fun. the game deserves some respect for its map originality too; the undulating and spiraling roads not only appear unreal and highly imaginative, bringing a visceral energy into traversal, but encourage players to think more actively about navigation and staying on path in a way I haven't really experienced in another battle royale until now.

the pacing is great too. i found that road encounters between you and another duo happen fairly regularly, but not too often; plus, the added challenge of attempting to aim while zooming through the hills is tense and exciting. games are also pretty short too (10 minutes maximum), letting you get back in it quick.

if you're a fan of battle royales, give knightfall a try; it's only 6 bucks at the time of this review. it's a simple game right now, but I've seen enough streamers give it attention that I'm willing to share my thoughts if it means the developers will think more about adding the depth that this game is definitely ready to fulfill.
