Ships Ahoy: Once Upon A Knight

Heroism. Sorcery. Cows! Atari Ships 'Once Upon A Knight' For PC (thanks Frans) is the press release announcing that the North American version of the game known elsewhere as KnightShift has shipped to retail. Word is: "Once Upon a Knight offers a milk-based economy, mother-in-laws, flying witches and secretive knights named Floyd. With the best elements of conventional real-time strategy (RTS) action and role-playing game (RPG) adventure mixed together into one highly-entertaining and humorous package, Once Upon A Knight is the ultimate RTS & RPG experience for the hardcore gamer and medieval-philes."

Judging from the demo, this doesn't look like a very good game. The graphics are mediocre, the writing isnt very good, and gameplay is very linear. It is using humor as a selling point, but it isnt very funny. It isnt even silly, like the way Monty Python is, though it feels like that is what they're shooting for. All in all it feels like a mod by amateur developers. I thought the idea of combining a traditional RPG with a RTS was interesting, though. Probably a more professional development team could make a really good game out of the concept.
