My favorite $6 RPG on Steam just got a beastmode free 'Enhanced Edition' update
It's actually on sale for $4 at the moment.
My beloved $6 RPG on Steam called FlyKnight recently received a beast mode update in the form of a free Enhanced Edition. Developed by a solo creator, this game, reminiscent of King's Field and Lunacid, has been available at $6, with a sale price of $4 as of now. The Enhanced Edition brings multiple difficulties, including a unique Miyazaki's Choice™ poison swamp exclusive to the Hard mode, enemy randomization with savable procedural generation seeds, and four new weapon types.
Additionally, there are unspecified enhancements to previous weapon categories, performance improvements especially noticeable on the Steam Deck, and various graphics, UI, and balance tweaks along with bug fixes.
The update's substantial additions are in proportion to FlyKnight's own qualities. Originally loved during my seven-hour Steam Deck playthrough last year, I now have a compelling reason to revisit it. FlyKnight's standout feature is its distinctive combat system with locational limb damage, allowing for strategic targeting of weak spots or weapon-holding limbs.
The game's slow pace, high skill demands, and emphasis on controlling distance, exploiting stagger opportunities, and perfect blocking make it feel like a classic survival horror game rather than just a dodging and i-frames-focused experience. With its charm, unique combat, and reasonable price, FlyKnight is an undeniable recommendation – definitely worth the cost of a decent coffee, even at its sale price of $4. For those interested, it's available on Steam.
