IGN: A delirious strategy game with insane pacing & goofball gags; impossible not to love. 8.5 out of 10.

Rustysabre: Knights Onrush is the definitive leader in the genre where the App Store is concerned. 9.5 out of 10

Pros and cons of Knights Onrush app for iPhone and iPad

Knights Onrush app good for

Really awesome and new concept game! Love all the defensive weapons!!!
For a buck you cant go wrong and its so fun. The graphics are really good and the noises are funny too!
It happened two times for me...once someone called when I was playing and second time when my iPhone crashes when using safari. On restart I couldnt see icons in the game no matter how many times I restart.on uninstalling and installing I lost my data... It took lots of tone to play all again.please fix this.
This game is realy good :) But I think that theres not enought upgrade for your chastle :( So it become boring after a while
Absolutely awesome. Can get super intense with the career, and when that is beat u have the endless modes which r good too. Thanks for this sweet game!
Makes innovative use of touch controls. Very nice graphics and sound track too. At 1$, its a steal!

Some bad moments

The gameplay itself is great. Nice graphics, good sound effects, lots of levels and different challenges, etc. But as mentioned by at least one other reviewer, it is very unstable and crashes spontaneously causing you to lose all your progress on a given level. So if youve spent 45 minutes getting to day 20 on level 10 and it crashes, imagine the frustration. To make this worse, there is no save game function to speak of other than an autosave that seems to function unpredictably and only when the user quits the game (ie. not when it crashes). This game should not have been published while these issues were present.
This app is actually not as good as it looks... You just flick things and you get bored in seconds... Dont waste your money... At least try the free version first.
Game becomes unplayable at higher level as there is a big technical problem. There appears a big lag when trying to deal with big crowds of enemies. You cannot spit the fire and shoot with cannons. When you tap the cannon it doesnt fire. Theres also a problem with multitouch, when a group of enemies is big, multitouch stops working.
Its fun, but it has a major problem. Whenever I lose, it makes me lose my progress. Do not get this app unless it is fixed!!!!
The 1st few Lvs are fun, until your on lv 30 and you realize nothing has changed at all except the background and maybe a different enemy or two. This gets old FAST. All you really do is rapidly flick the screen, really not that fun. Mine as well just play the lite version 50 times, you wouldnt notice the difference
Progress gets lost in stages and makes the game frustrating. Then repeat everything all over again! Flick, flick, flick, flick!!
