Attention all dungeon-runners! We've located a crash bug in the newest iOS version of One Epic Knight! Until we figure out what's going on and give the all-clear, DO NOT UPDATE! We'll get this sorted out as soon as possible and return you to your regularly-scheduled dungeon-diving! If you already updated, it seems that switching your device to Airplane Mode will get things up and running. We're working on a more permanent solution.

Ever done something so incredible in a run that you've wanted to share it with someone? Well now you can, because One Epic Knight now includes Everyplay! Whether it's narrowly leaping over a chasm, dodging a field of spikes, or just dying in some spectacularly awful way, you'll be able to record and share video of it!

Grab the update from the App Store today, and start showing off!

That's right, the One Epic Knight has busted through the wall that separates iOS and Android and launched right onto the Google Play store! Just like on iOS, One Epic Knight is 100% free to play, and at least 300% awesome.

There's not much to say other than that, so go check it out right now!

Phil Hornshaw, for Appolicious.com, writes the following regarding One Epic Knight:

"One Epic Knight maintains Temple Run’s skeletal formula of the behind-the-back camera position, the hard left-and-right turns, and the obstacles to be jumped over or slid under. But it also expands on it greatly by actually increasing the size of the area. Instead of tilt controls to move left or right, One Epic Knight features three “lanes” through which players can switch by swiping. Avoiding obstacles becomes about lateral movement as well as vertical.

Then there are the items. Shields protect you from obstacles, swords let you cut down enemies (yup, there are enemies), magic crystals give you super-speed and giant turkey legs make you a berserker. You can have more than one of these power-ups at once, and while running far and collecting gold from the ground is important, the real way you score points is not by avoiding obstacles, but by smashing through them. You’ll want to grab a shield and a sword and start plowing through stuff in order to build up multipliers.

So more or less instantly, One Epic Knight becomes less about avoiding hitting things and more about strategy and planning. Sure, there are big obstacles that must be avoided, but it’s not just a game about reflexes. Thus, it moves away from the core formula to create something new."

 

The full article is a great read, and comments on Temple Run, and how games like Pitfall!, TheEndApp, and One Epic Knight have expanded upon and evolved the genre. 

Our thanks to Phil and Appolicious.com for the kind words!
