Evaluation

Broken Armor launched on August 1, 2016 as an arcade-style action game. Shortly after launch, the developer released a second playable character as DLC (Broken Robe, September 24, 2016), which was later bundled into the base game for free (October 26, 2016). The store description confirms this DLC is now included with purchase. Following that, the game received a series of patches through 2018 and into 2020–2021 addressing gameplay balance, controls, and bug fixes. The most recent developer communication was a bug fix patch on June 10, 2021. There have been no developer posts, patch notes, or announcements of any kind since that date — now over five years ago. No unreleased DLC is listed on the store, and the store description presents the game as a complete package including all content. The developer has not signaled any intention to add further content, and the long period of silence following the final patch is consistent with a game that has reached the end of its development cycle.

About this game

Broken Armor is an arcade style action game where you navigate your way through rooms full of traps and creatures to reach the exit. Your weapons are limited so you need to decide whether it's worth it to use them.

Story:

This is the story of an inept knight who wears a suit of plate armor that isn't quite up to the task. Exiled from the kingdom of Slambonia for his incompetence, he is tasked with finding the holy grail if he is to return. Unfortunately, he is usually too busy fending off pests to worry about actual combat.

Features:

  • Classic style graphics and game play like something you'd see on a 5.25" floppy disk.

  • Many floors filled with vermin, hazards, and bosses to stumble your way through.

  • Different every time you play.

  • Fast paced and unforgiving. Improve yourself with each attempt.

  • Includes the playable mage DLC.
