Two knights, a strong bond, and a long journey. Take up the race for the rose, ride from town to town and take shelter before nightfall by any means necessary! If your bond is strong and your horse drifts well, you can be the recipient of the fabled rose. Luckily you brought guns!
The objective sets this battle royale apart from the typical last-team-standing format. Instead of eliminating all opponents, players must race as a pair of knights to reach the castle and pluck the fabled rose before any other team. This creates a thrilling competitive dynamic, as teams must balance their speed to the objective with the need to engage and defeat other knights along the way.
Mastering the horse-based movement system is crucial to success. Players can drift their horses around tight corners, using the horses' speed and agility to outmaneuver opponents. Reviews praise the skill-based and satisfying nature of this unique traversal mechanic, which significantly differentiates the gameplay from other battle royale titles.
As teams race between towns, they must quickly loot the limited supply of weapons, ammunition, and healing items before their rivals can claim them. This results in frantic, close-quarters combat encounters, where reviews highlight the tight gunplay and the high-stakes intensity of these confrontations.
The day-night cycle adds an extra layer of strategy and urgency. During the day, teams must push forward to reach the next town, but at night, they must find shelter to avoid freezing to death. This forces players to make difficult decisions about when to engage in combat or prioritize reaching safety, further enhancing the game's strategic depth.
Teamwork and coordination are essential, as the game is a two-player co-op experience. Reviews praise the sense of camaraderie and "bromance" that develops between partners, as they must communicate and work together to secure victories and survive the harsh environment.
