It’s kind of sensitive, and I wish Nick had put in a confirm prompt to make sure I wanted to go inside a place. You have an overworld map with many different subareas you can visit simply by touching a landmark, regardless of the direction from which you approach it. Super Chibi Knight plays a lot like Zelda II: The Adventure of Link. The music was composed by Brian Allen Holmes, with over 70 tracks in the game that give it a whimsical, yet epic classical soundtrack to accompany all your adventuring and monster slaying.Īlong the way, you’ll meet with some familiar faces making a cameo. You can tell immediately just by looking at the art that this was kid-made, but that doesn’t mean that its quality suffers from its cartoonish design.
To summarize, Super Chibi Knight is one of those rare examples of a child’s imagination brought to life through the medium of gaming through the efforts of an adult, much like how Axe Cop did the same for comic books. (As an aside, you can’t really help but be charmed watching her talk about Super Chibi Knight even though I’m not a parent myself it was really heartwarming to see her so enthusiastic about this project she and her dad worked on together.)īella provides the voice for our heroine, and, while that may annoy some who aren’t familiar with the game’s development, to me it sounds genuine and real, like you know right off the bat that this game is a family’s labor of love. The game is the creation of indie developer Nick Pasto’s (who you may know for his work on Abobo’s Big Adventure) eight year old daughter Bella, with the characters and environments straight out of her imagination. She described the Chibi Knight character in a Steam Greenlight promo video as “a little gumdrop who fights bosses,” and indeed, you will be fighting quite a lot of them in this game.
Super Chibi Knight’s creation is a story that fascinated me ever since I’d first heard of it. In a market full of more indie games than any of us know what to do with, it’s difficult nowadays to find something that really stands out for being unique.
