Not your typical RPG game. The name alone would throw you off, but it does catch your attention. It could be focused towards girls but anyone could play. This Mac game can both excite and frustrate you in its story line and play.
You are 18 years old and no longer able to stay in the orphanage where you grew up. With no relatives and nowhere to go you are lost in what to do. A fairy godmother type comes to you and tells you to find your destiny by holding on to your dreams. This is your quest, and it must be done by your 21st birthday. Initially you choose your birth month and by doing so, you choose a few characteristics that will shape your future. You travel to a town in which you must develop your personality and therefore determine your outcome or destiny.
Different characteristics are increased by exercising, training or taking classes. Classes are expensive and will take all your money, but you do need the lessons for specific skills such as magic and crafts. For combat you need to be trained, and must have the proper weapons and armor. Larger the weapons, higher your skill.
You go from site to site located on the lower right side of the screen, you are given choices to make, and whatever you select will form your destiny. Go to the town square and choose the activity you wish to participate in to form your fate. Choosing to pick pocket will lead you to a much different outcome than choosing to socialize and network with people.
Making money is not only important for your destiny but also for buying weapons and armor; the only things in the shop and for taking classes at the college. Those training sessions at the school is very costly, and the professors are not forgiving when you run out of money. There’s no financial aid at that school.
The slums and to the dungeons is where you should head when looking for more traditional RPG play. You must be prepared for the monsters (some are tamable, others are not). Search for items in the dark areas. Meet wizards, dragons and collect magical charm cards. Watching the calendar is important as is reading what everyone is telling you. Keep your health up along with your dream. Learn to make health potions. Every little thing will determine your destiny.
Cute Knight is a RPG play that some will love and others will hate. It is repetitious at many places and frustrating when the game suddenly ends your character making you work the rest of your pathetic life as a beggar or married to a handsome guy working at the library. Once you get into the dungeon the RPG play picks up quite a bit and is more interesting, however there’s very little action in this game so don’t expect an Avernum 5 or Kivi’s Adventure. The artwork is simple and the music annoying so make the best of it and turn off the music and overlook the cartoon characters. Dive into Cute Knight and control your destiny into a life of what you have dreamed about your entire life.
Features of Cute Knight:
-Choose Your Destiny
-Collect Magical Charm Cards
