So I recently decided to give Knights Contract a go, before starting to play the game I thought the whole immortality gimmick sounded interesting. To a certain degree it is as you hammer the X button to revive and reattach all your severed body parts into one again. For those of you that don't know the storyline here is the short version.
Witches are being rounded up and killed by an executioner after being blamed for a black plague epidemic that has spread through out the towns. The excutioner kills Gwendel and upon lobbing off her head is cursed with immortality. As a result he is chased and becomes an outcast and hunted by his own towns people. 100 years later and the executioner bumps into the witch he killed 100 years before and a contract between the two of them is made and so the story starts to unfold.
The game play is pretty simple just hack everything in sight while protecting Gwendel as you set upon your quest to punish those that broke the witches code; (Don't harm living things) as well as defeat the person behind their ressurection. Sounds pretty simple doesn't it? It's just a shame that the AI is a dumbass so upon fighting one of the bosses she stands in lava from time to time and dies as a result.
If you can get past this fault (which will annoy the crap out of you) then Knights Contract unfolds as an average action adventure game with a few little touches to make the game different from many of the other lack luster adventure games out there. Still this doesn't do anything to make the game stand out and worth playing, in fact if your thinking of doing anything other than renting this game then don't bother. You will end up sorely dissapointed.
