If there's one thing you can say about mobile developer AppSir, it's that their games are always worth checking out. From our glowing review of Spooky Pixel Hero to their other unique indie titles, AppSir consistently hits the mark. Their latest release, Climb Knight, is no exception!
You might be thinking, "Didn't you already cover Climb Knight?" Indeed, we did, and we gave it a fairly positive review. Surprisingly, the team at AppSir was taken aback by the warm reception Climb Knight received. In celebration, they've announced a major update coming on February 25th, and the best part? It's completely free!
What's in store with this update? You can expect three new one-bit minigames and an intriguing new advisor character inspired by Apple Newton shareware. Given AppSir's track record with spooky releases, there's likely more to this advisor and the new gameplay than meets the eye.
Climbing Up
AppSir proves that 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, their work shares similarities with the excellent Faith trilogy, particularly in their spooky, retro aesthetic.
For more insights into AppSir's games, take a look at what we thought of Spooky Pixel Hero—another exceptional release that's definitely worth your time. If you're curious about developer Darius's thoughts on the reception to Climb Knight, don't miss his latest blog post.
