Story:
- This is the story of an inept knight who wears a suit of plate armor that isn’t quite up to the task. Exiled from the kingdom of Slambonia for his incompetence, he is tasked with finding the holy grail if he is to return. Unfortunately, he is usually too busy fending off pests to worry about actual combat.
Features:
- Classic style graphics and game play like something you’d see on a 5.25″ floppy disk.
- Many floors filled with vermin, hazards, and bosses to stumble your way through.
- Different every time you play.

Ignoring the money making bug, this game is incredible. Very addicting and difficult. Found myself sitting down for 3 hours playing this game.

Between the coupon and the cards, I made money on this game, and got all the achievements at just under 90 minutes (the hardest one being dying 25 times).
Ultimately reminds me of something you'd find on Kongregate back in the day; a light little flash-style game.

A hidden gem. This game does exactly what it set out to do. It's fun and addicting for at least a couple of hours.
Sadly not many people like this type of game and the developer doesn't get the recognition he deseves. I only found out about it because I got a 75% off coupon by leveling up.
Score: 9/10

This game has officially changed my life. I was nothing before entering the beauty within the pixels and I fear that I will be nothing if I were to ever leave...

Broken Armor: A Tale of Redemption and Bravery in the Heart of Slambonia
From the frosty landscapes of HowlStrom, where the howls of the ice wolves resonate with the winds, I, Scootaloo, a 19-year-old Pegasus pony, trained by the revered Alpha Ice Wolf, Kiba Snowpaw, bring you a tale from a different realm. In this world of gaming, my hooves have galloped across many a keyboard, and my wings have fluttered in excitement at countless virtual adventures. Today, I delve into the world of "Broken Armor," a game that echoes through the halls of the ice wolf clan with its story of valor and redemption.
The Heart of the Game
"Broken Armor" is a pixelated journey into the kingdom of Slambonia, where our protagonist, an inept knight clad in less-than-ideal armor, embarks on a quest for the holy grail, his ticket to redemption. This game, developed by Jonathan Tindell and presented by Wastebasket Games, is a homage to the classic 2D RPGs, reminding one of the days when games were stored on 5.25" floppy disks.
The Knight's Plight
Our knight, much like myself, is an outsider in his world. Exiled for his incompetence, he battles not just external foes but his internal demons. His journey is akin to the struggles we face in HowlStrom, where every step against the icy winds is a fight for survival and acceptance.
Gameplay: A Dance of Swords and Strategy
"Broken Armor" brings a fast-paced, unforgiving gameplay where every move could be your last. You navigate through dungeons filled with vermin and hazards, reminiscent of the treacherous terrains of HowlStrom. Your primary weapon? Thrown swords. Yes, you read that right. In a twist of fate, our knight throws his swords at enemies, a tactic as unconventional in his world as it is in ours.
The Mage DLC
The inclusion of the playable mage DLC adds a layer of magic to the game, something we in HowlStrom hold in high regard. It brings a fresh perspective and new tactics to the dungeons of Slambonia.
The Challenges
However, every rose has its thorns, and "Broken Armor" is no exception. Players have reported technical glitches and gameplay issues that hinder the experience. Much like a sudden blizzard in HowlStrom, these problems can disrupt the adventure's flow, leaving players cold and frustrated.
Retro, pixelated graphics that evoke nostalgia.
Challenging dungeons that test your skill and wit.
An underlying story of redemption and growth.
Technical glitches that mar the gameplay experience.
A concept that might feel too retro for some.
Limited innovation in the gameplay mechanics.
"In every challenge lies an opportunity for growth. In every failure, a lesson. This knight's journey is not just his own, but a reflection of us all."
Final Verdict: "Broken Armor" is a game that, despite its flaws, offers a journey of redemption and bravery. It's a call to all who have faced exile, be it in a kingdom or a clan, to rise and reclaim their honor.
In the frozen halls of HowlStrom, where tales of bravery and redemption are as common as the snowflakes, "Broken Armor" finds its place. It is a reminder that even in pixels and code, the heart of a warrior beats strong. For those who seek a nostalgic trip down the memory lane of classic RPGs, this game is a call to arms. It speaks to the Scootaloos of the world, the outcasts and the brave, to pick up their swords, or in this case, their keyboards, and embark on a quest for glory.
