Welcome to Indie Spotlight!

Today, we’re changing things up a little and checking out a cool mobile game that’s taking up my free time lately — NonStop Knight!

Ready to slay!

It’s pretty tough for a mobile game to catch my attention, and even rarer for it to keep it. This one managed to do so in minutes.

Enter your warrior. With sword, helmet and cape equipped, you brave an unknown dungeon. Your fighter automatically runs around, finding and attacking baddies (skeletons, werewolves, etc.) until the floor is clear. S/he’ll then teleport to the next floor and keep going!

Every couple of floors, you’ll be met with a big bad boss! They’re generally super versions of the baddies you run into (with fun names like Wonky Jaws) and are major threats to your endless conquest. Upon their defeat, however, you’re guaranteed a random gear drop, more often than not better than what you have!

As your fighter progresses, you’ll gradually amass a variety of items: coins used to upgrade your equipment; potions to speed up your fighting or revive you; gems used to purchase permanent upgrades to your stats. Naturally, you have to keep your gear at its best, for each floor you enter is tougher than the last.

Dish out the damage and keep going!

Don’t worry, you the player aren’t stuck just watching the fight go on — you get a suite of skills to use at your disposal! On command, you can whirlwind enemies, perform a leaping strike and summon shadow clones to aid you in battle! Proper timing will dish out loads of damage and speed up your progress.

So what happens when the baddies are too strong? You have the Ascend option! After traveling deep enough, you have the choice to basically ‘rebirth’ your warrior. You return to the 1st floor whilst keeping any upgrades earned along the way. So then you start back at square one, stronger than before!

The best part is your warrior will continue fighting while you’re not playing, so you’ll come back to it with a pool of coins waiting for you! It’s a cute, fast-paced game that takes care of that RPG itch a few minutes at a time. Give it a try!

Nonstop Knight is available for FREE on Android and iOS devices.
