\"\"<\/a>The Tiny Pixels series seems to feature simple graphics and gameplay, and I\u2019ve already reviewed the first one, a vertically scrolling shooter.<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0 The second one is a beat \u2018em up where you play as a knight out to save princesses from goblins and such, and you fight one enemy at a time until you reach a boss, and when your game is over you can use the coins you\u2019ve earned to upgrade your skills\u00a0 Stormy Knights is available on all current consoles and PC, but reviewed on PS4 here.<\/p>\n

Your knight can move left and right and use the face buttons to attack with a sword, block with a shield, dash backwards to dodge attacks, and use a limited powerful magic blast.\u00a0 You\u2019ll fight one enemy at a time, learning their attack patterns so you can dodge and attack effectively.\u00a0 It kind of reminds me of an old Taito game called Gladiator, or an old PC game I barely remember called Swashbuckler.\u00a0 At the end of a group of enemies you\u2019ll fight a boss, save a princess, and take on the next group of baddies.<\/p>\n

When you defeat an enemy, your knight turns into a ball of energy for some reason and you can control it as it flies around collecting coins hanging from tassels.\u00a0 The game doesn\u2019t tell you that you can do this, though, so it took me a while to figure out what was going on.\u00a0 On the main menu, you can use those coins to upgrade your skills, giving you better attacks, more life, and more uses of the magic blasts.\u00a0 But when you get a Game Over, you must start over at the beginning, and it just got too repetitive for me to stay interested for long.<\/p>\n

Kid Factor:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Tiny Pixels vol. 2: Stormy Knights is rated E-10 with an ESRB descriptor of Fantasy Violence.\u00a0 You swing swords and blast magic at pixelly, cartoony enemies that disappear when defeated.\u00a0 Reading skill isn\u2019t needed, but younger gamers may find it too difficult.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
