Developed by Jonathan Tindell · Published by Wastebasket Games
You play an inept knight exiled from his kingdom, sent to find the Holy Grail to earn his return. A playable mage is also included.
Explore top-down dungeon rooms filled with creatures and traps, avoiding or fighting threats as you make your way to each exit. Weapons are limited, so choosing when to use them is part of surviving.
Progress through randomized floors, collecting gold and supplies along the way. Boss fights punctuate the run, while repeated attempts let you learn enemy patterns and improve your score and strategy.
Players who enjoy the game often point to its retro pixel presentation, boss encounters, and straightforward arcade action. Several describe the difficulty as satisfying when it encourages learning enemy and boss patterns across repeated attempts, while others find the challenge or controls frustrating. A few also praise the music and controller support.
Broken Armor is an arcade style action game where you navigate your way through rooms full of traps and creatures to reach the exit. Your weapons are limited so you need to decide whether it's worth it to use them.
Story:
This is the story of an inept knight who wears a suit of plate armor that isn't quite up to the task. Exiled from the kingdom of Slambonia for his incompetence, he is tasked with finding the holy grail if he is to return. Unfortunately, he is usually too busy fending off pests to worry about actual combat.
Features:
Classic style graphics and game play like something you'd see on a 5.25" floppy disk.
Many floors filled with vermin, hazards, and bosses to stumble your way through.
Different every time you play.
Fast paced and unforgiving. Improve yourself with each attempt.
Includes the playable mage DLC.
