Cute Knight Overview
Cute Knight isn’t your average RPG with great graphics and gameplay. However, what Cute Knight lacks in graphics and combat more than makes up for in the originality department. The story may be a bit spotty, but most games today feature either a strong male or extremely strong female role. It is fresh to find a protagonist that includes both a strong female and damsel in distress type of character. This does not mean the game is a straight buy, but for the cheap price tag it is a bargain game.
