Knight Lancer is a super-simple jousting game where your objective is to unseat your opponent

Ah, the medieval era—known for the Black Plague, religious intolerance, and a short life expectancy. It certainly wasn't the best time to be alive, but they sure knew how to celebrate! While they didn't have pro wrestling or football, they did have jousting. Now, you can immerse yourself in the thrilling, bone-breaking world of jousting with Knight Lancer.

Knight Lancer is a physics-based jousting game where your goal is to unseat your opponent from their horse and send them flying in a spectacular ragdoll mess. The challenge lies not just in keeping your lance on target as you charge towards your opponent, but also in timing the angle and impact perfectly. As your lance shatters into three pieces upon impact, each piece must hit your opponent to score an instant victory.

Knight Lancer offers 18 engaging story missions and an endless free-play mode, ensuring hours of entertainment. A recent update introduced a new mechanic—shield positioning—adding a strategic element to what might seem like mindless violence.

Have at thee! Knight Lancer is a testament to the fact that simple, straightforward, and impressively fun games are still out there on mobile platforms. Unlike gacha games or ARPGs, this is a physics-based battler that echoes the spirit of games like Nidhogg.

You can download Knight Lancer now on iOS. Unfortunately, there's no news yet on a potential release for Google Play, but we're keeping our fingers crossed!
