King's Knight (Nintendo Entertainment System, 1989)

Product Specs

Description

Square's King's Knight is a vertically-scrolling shooter, where the main objective is to dodge and destroy enemies. Various items, however, add depth to the game. As any character, you can collect various power-ups to increase a character's level (maximum of 20 levels per character): speed increase, weapon increase, armor increase, jump increase, and life increase. To balance out the life increases, there are life decreases. Other onscreen icons can affect the stage, such as cave entrances/exits and a secret revealer, which reveals hidden stones that block your progress. Finally, there are four types of elements to be collected in each level, which are vital to the completion of the last stage.
