If there's one thing you can say about mobile developer AppSir, it's that their releases are always intriguing and well worth your attention. From our glowing review of Spooky Pixel Hero to their other unique indie games, AppSir consistently delivers fun and distinctive experiences. Their latest title, Climb Knight, is no exception to this rule.
You might be thinking, "Didn't you already cover Climb Knight?" Indeed, we did, and we gave it a positive review. Surprisingly, the team at AppSir was taken aback by the warm reception Climb Knight received. In response, they're rolling out a major update on February 25th, completely free of charge!
So, what's in store with this update? You can look forward to three new one-bit minigames and an intriguing new advisor character, inspired by Apple Newton shareware. Given AppSir's track record with their spooky releases, I suspect there's much more to this advisor and the new gameplay than initially meets the eye.
Climbing upAppSir exemplifies how 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, they share similarities with the acclaimed Faith trilogy, particularly in their spooky, retro aesthetic.
