The Onion Knights
SCORE: 72
I am grateful Family Friendly Gaming was given a digital download
code for The Onion Knights on the Playstation 4. I did some research on
The Onion Knights, and found it comes from an Android app. In a lot of
ways The Onion Knights feels like a smaller and shorter Castle Storm. We
protect our castle from these invading and attacking characters. We have
a cannon that auto fires and heroes that can send impressive attacks
into the hordes attacking.
Enemies come in waves in The Onion Knights. The cannon can be moved up
and down. Which gives it really good range across most of the screen.
Players upgrade the cannon, heroes, and more in The Onion Knights. There
are also items that can be won, collected, and earned in The Onion
Knights. It felt weird using 'O' to select things instead of 'X' in The
Onion Knights.
The Onion Knights has some major controversy surrounding it. Since it
involves the ESRB we should not be surprised. The Onion Knights is rated
'E' for Everyone SIX and OLDER ONLY. There are no descriptors listed for
The Onion Knights. No cartoon violence, mild violence, suggestive themes
that are actually in The Onion Knights. Castlestorm is a similar game
and it is rated 'T' for THIRTEEN and OLDER. The Onion Knights should be
rated 'E10+' with multiple descriptors listed. Yet again the ESRB fails
families and has another scandal. Can we make it one month without the
ESRB dropping the ball?
The Onion Knights has issues with violence, lack of attire, enticement
to lust, alcohol, and more. After beating a level, players can go into
the pub and work on building a jigsaw puzzle. There are four jigsaw
puzzles in total in The Onion Knights. The music in The Onion Knights is
fantastic. I loved listening to it over and over again. I never got
tired of that song while I played this game with no physical copy
version.
There is a real addictive component to The Onion Knights. I kept playing
The Onion Knights over and over again. I kept beating levels to see the
jigsaw puzzles. I also enjoyed upgrading my defenses to keep even worse
enemies away. I also learned there is a limit to how many times the
heroes can be used in any battle. Use them sparingly, or only in the
last wave.
