Pretty solid adventure game, it's got a cool overworld in which you explore and collect items, kind of like a blend between a metroidvania game and zelda-like combat, it's decently fun although there's a few gripes, like some questionable hitboxes and the final area I think was a bit weaker than the rest of the game. Besides those, it was a pretty solid time, and definitely felt like a true adventure!

This is a mostly fantastic game, that manage to truly feel like an adventure in a way most adventure fangames don't. With items, health, metroidvania aspects, a shop, and more, this feels like a game you played on your Nintendo DS when you were a kid. The gimmicks are cool, the items are fun, and the graphics are phenomenal.

Unfortunately, this game is dragged down severely by the final boss. The other bosses are weak points, but are simply unmemorable. The final boss however, is actively unpleasant and infuriating to play against. The boss can only be damaged on the face, except the hitbox is nonsense and half of the face randomly doesn't take damage. Sometimes two attacks that felt like they hit the exact same spot would have different outcomes. Most of the fight requires using the axe item, which has a horrible limitation of only having one on screen at a time. Sometimes you'd throw an axe that would phase straight through her face, and then you couldn't attack until the axe took seconds to arc up and fall down off the screen. Some attacks have opportunities to use your sword, which does way more damage and makes the fight way faster. However, the only spot you can hit with the sword is where the bullets are spawning, so you get punished just for trying. Furthermore, the boss's attacks have wild uncontrollable knockback, and you get like one i-frame, so a single projectile will often hit you 2 or even 3 times, halving your health instantly. This bossfight is one of the most unenjoyable fights I've ever played, especially in a game where everything else is of such high caliber.

Knight in shining armor is a pretty good game. I don't really remember it that much, given that I'm writing this review months after I initially played the game, but I think this is kind of an improvement over Kiduija... Even though this was released a year prior.

Kiduija has some more production value, but the gameplay suffers, and Knight in shining armor is, I believe, a suitable level of difficulty.

I don't really feel like narrating the entire game, or something like that, so just keep in mind that if you like adventure games and are around the skill level for this game, you should probably play it.
