If there's anything you can say about mobile developer AppSir, it's that their releases always deliver a unique indie gaming experience. From our glowing review of Spooky Pixel Hero to their latest hit, Climb Knight, AppSir consistently hits the mark for distinctive and enjoyable gameplay. And now, Climb Knight is set to get even better with a major update coming on February 25th, completely free of charge!
You might be thinking, "Didn't you already cover Climb Knight?" Indeed, we did, and we gave it a fairly positive review. Surprisingly, the team at AppSir was taken aback by the warm reception Climb Knight received. In response, they're rolling out an update that promises to enhance the game further. So, what's in store? Three new one-bit minigames and the introduction of a mysterious advisor character, inspired by Apple Newton shareware. Given AppSir's penchant for the unexpected, there's likely more to this advisor and the new gameplay elements than meets the eye.
Climbing upAppSir proves that a dedicated indie developer can break the mold and find success on mobile platforms. While I wouldn't label them as the "New Blood" of smartphones, their work shares similarities with the spooky, retro aesthetic of the acclaimed Faith trilogy.
If you're interested in more of AppSir's work, take a look at what we thought of Spooky Pixel Hero – another excellent title well worth your time. For insights into the developer Darius's thoughts on Climb Knight's reception, check out his latest blog post.
