Product Information

"There are many medieval fantasy titles - but none like the innovative Once Upon A Knight. Set within a world of treachery, nobility and milk (yes milk), Once Upon A Knight delivers powerful gameplay - while never taking itself too seriously. It features extensive play with a comprehensive real-time strategy mode and exciting RPG modes.  Forget what you know about fantasy titles - this one offers a milk-based economy, mothers-in-law, flying witches and secretive knights named Floyd. Whether players select RTS, RPG or both, they’ll find themselves in a brilliantly rendered setting, battling evil, saving damsels... and generally being noble and just."

Product Highlights

Characters:

Prince
Prince John is the Hero of this game. After having been brought back from a terrible void between life and death, he must reclaim his kingdom, win back his fiancee and become victorious over a dragon. The Prince can also find and take better weapons from the scenery to improve his combat skills and resilience in battle. As the game goes on the prince evolves from a clumsy, na?ve young man to the most powerful and strongest warrior of all. He has no magical abilities, but is an excellent leader. All other combat characters are more efficient when close to the prince.

Warrior
Warrior squads are a basic defense for villages. They protect them both from wild animals and from attacks from enemy tribes. Of course this character can also be used to attack other villages. Wearing leather armor and armed with swords, Warriors are more dangerous than woodbutchers. Exploring the world, they may find better equipment, helmets, shields, armor and swords, making them more resistant in combat and causing greater damage to enemies. Similar to woodbutchers and archers, Warriors recover health lost in combat while sleeping. Warriors live in Barracks.

Floyd
Once the toughest, most loyal and trustworthy Knight in the prehistory of Once Upon A Knight but now getting on a bit, Floyd polishes his armor and calls his warrior into combat together with Prince John in the coming battles to win back the kingdom from the dark, despicable Lord. He played his own involuntary part in the prince's disappearance and has his own terrible secret to reveal. Floyd is a very resilient fighter who can improve his combat abilities during the game by taking better weaponry and armor when found.

Woodbutcher
The Woodbutcher is one of most important characters; with his giant axe he can build or repair all houses and other structures, or destroy enemy buildings and cut trees. But he is not only a man of peace. Wandering about the world, a Woodbutcher may find better axe types, allowing an increase in damage. So, if you intend to turn an enemy village into dust, you must have a few Woodbutchers in your army. A Woodbutcher has high strength and vitality. When he is injured in combat, he usually takes a regenerating nap. He wakes up fresh as a daisy and in perfect health. He lives in a Hut.

Mother in Law
The Mother in Law is a highly skilled woman, not attractive, but a powerful saboteur and diplomat. She can use her qualities properly, together with her intelligence, to convince the dwellers of any enemy building to swap sides. Her rolling pin is a convincing argument aiding her success. Using such a character, you can successfully take over any enemy building. Then she stays inside it for the duration of the game. A Mother in Law also has another useful ability: all woodbutchers close to her work 100% faster. She lives in a Hut.


Magicians

Priest
A priest is an old man, who cares for the temple and has made sacrifices to the gods all his life. This mystical person has magical abilities. He can teleport himself to any place on the map, use a magical crow to see over long distances, creates a magical ghost to terrorize enemies and create magic wolves to attack them. The magical spirit is a burning apparition, which frightens enemies and causes them to flee outside of a certain radius. He uses no weapons, but can throw fireballs at enemies. Exploring the world he can find amulets to increase his resistance, healing speed or rate of regenerating his magical power. The Priest lives in a Temple.
Monsters:

Witch
As everyone knows witches fly on broomsticks and the Once Upon A Knight witches are no exception. But, this witch is a little different to the stereotype in that she does not have black-haired warts on her nose. She can be used for aerial combat if she is not repairing her broom and is useful against other magical characters. With her high voice and cackling laughter you will recognize her immediately. The old girl moans and grumbles a bit but you will like her. She has a heart of molten lead.

Amazon Sorceress
An Amazon Sorceress is a young, well, but lightly dressed woman with one powerful magical attribute. Using her magical staff she can create a burning lightning spell and can roast, fry or boil the enemy very efficiently from a safe distance without causing casualties among her own people.  She can find and use amulets to increase her resilience in battle and Mana (magical energy) in the Once Upon A Knight landscape if she is fast enough, for there is a lot of competition for these valuable gifts.

Monsters:

Minotaur
A long way from Greek mythology and not created by a beautiful white bull and a queen, but through an unfortunate accident in a sorcerer's laboratory with a sacrificial roast beef sandwich and the sorcerer's body guard. Players will meet this aggressive monstrosity several times throughout the game and should beware. This creature is very strong and is a very talented killer using mostly swords and axes as his preferred weapons.

Giant
Giants live alone in mountain caves. They do not usually disturb anyone, but sometimes they approach villages and attack the cows. A Giant is huge and very strong. A party of several woodbutchers is usually not enough to defeat a giant. The best units for a fight against a giant are heavily armored Knights who attack him in a squad. Armed with a powerful club, a giant can crush every character with a few blows. In Once Upon A Knight we have included several different kinds of Giants: a Giant family consisting of a male, a female and a young Giant. Additionally, as a special enemy you have to fight against a Giant with a huge, mystical egg. What is the story surrounding this egg? No, we won’t tell you. Just play, and the veils of secrecy will be lifted.

Skeleton
There are various types of skeletons in the game and each type has its own characteristics and behavior and uses different weapons and armor. They are conjured up from the underworld in large groups and represent all that is evil.  Their sole objective is your destruction! Beware!

Pilous Mephitis
This creature is a monster created by dark powers. You can meet this “thing” most often in the vicinity of graveyards, barrows and swamps. It is extremely dangerous and very fast. If a small party of heroes meets it, they have a rather small chance of survival. During the game you will meet a variety of mutations of this creature. They behave similarly, but take care... if you have already defeated one, do not think the next one is an easy task - you could be wrong.


Animals:

The Cow
The economy of the Once Upon A Knight world is based on milk. Milk is the only resource, giving woodbutchers the strength to construct buildings. With time spent on grazing the efficiency of a cow also increases and the Cow goes a “level up” with each completed milking. So an old, experienced Cow is more valuable than a new, young one. When attacked a cow runs away in panic to its shed and remains there. After the enemy has been repelled, the cow should be sent back to its pasture. Cows have various colors and markings making it easier to identify them. Of course - Cows live in Cowsheds.

Wolf
Wolves are one of the player's most common opponents. You will often encounter them while exploring the maps. Some of them are not strong, but they may cause a lot of damage when they attack in packs. Wolves also attack the characters controlled by the AI (artificial intelligence). We recommend you to take care of your cows: don’t allow wolves to approach grazing cows, because the cows can't defend themselves. A wolf may be tamed by a cowherd. But that’s not always the best solution. Not all wolves are lapdogs, some are bigger and more dangerous. They have more HP and cannot be defeated easily.

Bear
The Bear is a wild animal. It is better not to disturb him. It is far more dangerous than a wolf. A one-to-one fight with a Bear usually ends in victory for the bear. Bears lives in dense forests, but when he is hungry he may approach villages. Your heroes in the game will certainly meet the bear face to face many times. The best way to fight off a bear is a long-range attack using archers and spearmen. After a shot, the archer can run away, before the bear gets close to him, then he can shoot once again. A bear can be tamed by a cowherd, becoming a valuable ally. During the progress of the game you will meet several kinds of Bears - one more dangerous than the other.
