A fun little throw back with a little spice
As of late I have been enjoying the indie games on xbox live. They range from great to unplayable and this one is I am happy to say is great. Coming in at 230mp this is a cheap little way to spend about a hour with some friends. The man draw to me personally was the music and the art style with just gushes 8 bit glory. The music and art both reminded me a lot of a old nes game "Legacy of the Wizard" which I enjoyed very much.
While Protect Me Knight might share the same style as Legacy of the Wizard the gameplay is completely different. You play as one of four hero's who's goal is to keep the princess alive while killing all the monsters on the screen. Each of the hero's have a different ability which will help aid your protection of your helpless monarch. As the game moves forward you earn xp and can upgrade your hero with better health,magic,defence and so on. You can also have up to 4 player co-op which is were the game thrives. My only real grip is that it's a little on the short side but with having a pretty good replay value I feel like it nothing to complain about.
If you have some spare cash and a couple of friends this is a great why to kill some time. While not a deep or complex game it is a very enjoyable throw back that you should really give a try.
