Knightingale

Square Enix has spent the past few years rebuilding a lot of its old-school credibility with a bunch of high-quality pixel-art games using what that publisher calls "HD-2D" visuals. Think stuff like Octopath Traveler, where it's using pixel visuals that would feel at home on the Super Nintendo, but with a level of quality that classic hardware couldn't possibly pull off. It's a wonder that more other publishers and developers haven't tried to follow Square's example, which is why I was immediately interested in Knightingale, a gacha game with JRPG aesthetics and an absolutely beautiful look being created by NetEase. And while the first closed beta for Knightingale definitely has some very big technical issues, I'm impressed and cautiously optimistic with the actual game here.

Knightingale is an upcoming HD-2D RPG game with an adventurous story, engaging turn-based combat, and traditional gacha mechanics. 🟩Pros +Beautiful soundtrack +HD-2D graphics +Flexible weapon and ability mechanics +Skipping the story cutscene still gives you a text summary 🟥Cons -Only runs in 16:9 aspect ratio; which doesn’t fit with the majority of mobile phones -Still needs a lot more polish with bugs

Good gameplay but long intro could be shortened. A skip button on stories come after a while. I don't like the gacha style of summoning heroes. Nice graphic for my potato android phone . Definitely will wait for the full version
