Silver Knight

FULL EDIT:
Okay then, as new updates have come in, my opinion has now changed. The author seems to have really taken feedback into acount. There is a large visual cue when damage is taken, and the use of a mouse in the control scheme has made the game much easier to control. The spelling and grammar mistakes have been corrected, and there's even a nice little death animation. Actually made some progress in the game now. Glad I held onto this one :).
Overall: 7.8/10
Great to see a dev who is actively working to improve their game.

So the Silver Knight, you are probably wondering whats it about. Well in this 16-bit Dungeon Crawling RPG, there is a devious Black Knight who travels the world to hunt down princesses and torture them. You as the "Silver Knight" are chosen to slay this wicked fiend for his trechery and at the same time reacquaint with your lover. He comes across the Black Knight and starts following him to wherever he is going. That's the pretty much general story of whats happening. After that you left in a room dying and you must begin your journey.
The game controls are quite simple with the usual WASD to move, Number 1 to Attack and Number 2 to Dash while dropping sweet bombs with E. With these weapons in your arsenal you are expected to traverse through these dungeons. In my first few attempts in this game I noticed had similar gameplay as Binding of Issac, with moving around dungeons and planting bombs on the ground wasn't a bad feeling. The hit mechanics majority of the time is perfect and dashing helps ya a lot although would be nice if there was some stamina bar (as you can constantly spam dash). Pretty much in this game you will be hack'n'slashing for quite some time with a diverse list of enemies including the usual spiders, wretched fairies (no idea), some toxic waste slime monster, suicide bombing imps and occasionally a mixture of both fused in one (Slime spewing out fairies).
The Map design and graphics so far are quite morbid and desolate which compliments with the constant music that is playing on the background. Each map level is quite different from the other and as the game mentions monsters spawn differently everytime you replay the game. With this factor sometimes the game can get a bit hectic and quite challenging as you also have a limited health supply of 5 HP. That saying the game is great so far but as expected from any early access it is not complete.
There are some bugs in this game which can make this game frustrating and some a bit more entertaining in which I will take the time to point out. Some of the maps if ya spam your dash can actually make you go through the wall and into a different part of the game. However please be advised by doing this some maps can trap you in limbo thanks to invisible walls and you are pretty much screwed. Enemies sometimes cannot be hit and can double hit ya even before whacking it and sometimes they spawn invisibly and you won't know killed ya. At occasions when potions are dropped in-game your character might have to spam the dash button into and eventually it will pick it up. These bugs are expected in this early access so shouldn't detract you from playing.
Only thing I wish the developer could have done was perhaps add some more RPG elements say leveling to improve the protagonist as he can be puny against baby spiders and perhaps some more abilities.
Anyway this game ain't your walk in the park type, you will die quite a lot and from that you learn more about this game. I have played a good hour and I haven't encountered the bosses yet due my lack of skills. If you are thinking off trying this game out I highly recommend it as it is quite unique with a straightfoward story, near-perfect mechanics and great design however, if ya not a fan of bugs I'd wait it out to be more completed. To the developer kudos for the and I hope you this review to better improve your game.

Given the ability to attack and sprint, aim of the game is simply to clear arenas and take down bosses while searching for your long lost love. Initially a little frustrating, after learning attack patterns it's much more enjoyable. Rooms didn't change drastically between rounds but enough to keep things interesting. Lovely pixelart and a decent game for the price. Now to find those easter eggs.
@ Dev
Gamepad issues (wired 360),
Popup mentioned deadzone was out of range.
Soundfx needs a tweak, contact hits are too quiet.

I came across this game for a dollar while I was looking for a decent action/adventure game. What I was found gave me mixed feelings. The game "Silver Knight," while looking like a school project thrown together in a week at first look, is actually a decent game. Its nice, simple use of pixelated graphics compliment it nicely with the environments. However, the gameplay can be rather dull. It boils down to you entering room after room, killing all inside before moving on. I've yet to find powerups or anything that could spice it up a bit. It feels slower than it should be, but that issue is easily fixable through the game's "dash" action. Something I actually haven't seen much use of in other RPGs. The battle is pretty hit and miss, but the rooms being so small limit your ability to actually do much first off without falling flat on your face and having to start over. Each enemy will aimlessly rush you with no sense of surprise or actual strategy, and bombs will be the lifeblood of your playthrough. The controls, to be blunt, are awkward and shoddy, the whole character stops moving when you swing your sword in a decently-lengthed animation, but in crowds this becomes a futile task that only dashing out or using a bomb will fix.
Overall?: 6/10 as a game, 7/10 for the price, even on sale.
It's something that will fill the gap of boredom, but won't leave you with a lasting impact or sense of replay. The mechanics are iffy, and combat is hit-and-miss.

After so much hours of play time I think I can safely say this is a fun, entertaining game

This game is good :^)
Spelling mistakes look strange but i like to think that it was intentional.
Anyway, i'd like to support the dev for his effort.

Silver Knight is a game for old classic dungeon and pixel art lovers. With a lovely music and cool main character, you have to enter to an old and strange castle with a lot of enemies. In fact, there are enemies of all kind here! Is not just retro fantasy, also there are bad machines and toxic wastes. That made me laugh because of the mix, a little strange for a "fantasy" related game.
Gameplay
Controls are easy and you can put traps! If you don't have more traps you can get some extra killing enemies. They will appear as drops.
I know the game is on early access at the moment so I hope to see more enemies and dungeons soon! The maps are cool and remember to kill all the enemies to pass the next map. You can teleport through them but again, beware of the enemies, yon won't know where the enemies will appear from many places. In fact, I have been killed a lot because of that.
I could use bombs and traps which are helpful in big enemies. Remember to destroy what seem to be machines, and take all the drop items. There are some interesting, like extra HP. Yes, we all love HP red pots.
Final Thoughts
I recommend the game. Remember is in early access and there are things to polish of course, but I like a lot this kind of old dungeons classic games, so I give a 7/10.
