Our Expert Score
Arkan: Dawn of Knights is a refreshing take on the brick-breaker genre, infusing it with RPG progression and a high-fantasy aesthetic. Instead of just a paddle and a ball, you’re controlling the trajectory of knights and magical spells. The tactical layer—choosing which units to launch and when to trigger special abilities—elevates the gameplay far beyond standard 'Arkanoid' clones.
The boss fights are a particular highlight, requiring actual strategy to break through their defenses while dodging return fire. The visual style is dark and atmospheric, and the upgrade system provides a steady sense of growth. It’s a rare example of a 'casual' mechanic being successfully expanded into a deeper, more rewarding combat system. For fans of strategy and retro arcade games alike, this is a fantastic hybrid.

Tips & Walkthrough
Don't just aim for the nearest block. Look for narrow gaps that allow your 'knight' to bounce behind enemy lines, dealing massive damage to the backline and clearing the stage faster.
Gameplays
Wait until the boss is charging their attack before using your Mage's Freeze ability. This cancels their move and leaves them vulnerable to a multi-ball attack.

Q&A
Heroes can be unlocked by completing campaign chapters or through the in-game summoning system using earned crystals.

Worst Customer Support Ever
Sun Jan 21 2024 KitkatkatzI play game on iPad, 9 days ago there was an in game update, since then my main account will Not connect to the game server. When I download game on my iPhone , game connects to lvl 1 new game, but will Not switch to my main account. This tells me since it will connect to lvl 1 new game but Not my main account , it’s problem w the game server. It has NOTHING to do on my end! My WiFi is fine! I have other games that have updated since this games fiasco and I have NO issues connecting to my other games servers after updates. Puzzles support has me sending them irrelevant information that has nothing to do w their server problem ! Going round in circles w support asking me to send info I had already sent! I sent them my game account info and my device info, they have everything they need to fix my game , and they absolutely refuse to see what the issue is w their server l after 5 days I have no more patience left w this customer support . For the last time: Fix your server issue so my main account will connect or delete all my information, my account and my castle off the game map! 1 star only so I could write this, otherwise no stars at all. I will NEVER again download a Babil game! Support claims it’s my “RAM”; however when I download game on an iPad that has NOTHING on it it connects to lvl 1 new game but will NOT switch to my main account and will NOT connect!
Unoriginal, lots of glitches
Wed Apr 26 2023 VegnatI was excited to see a new copycat game of Puzzles and Survival, and had hopes it wasn’t overrun by people dropping $100/day on it. It wasn’t yet, thankfully. It was a good game until I ran into a bunch of glitches and had a bad experience with support. The game has always had minor glitches, but I was able to get past them. With the latest big update though I lost the ability to upgrade buildings. If you can’t upgrade buildings, you can’t advance in the game. I waited a couple of days until another update, but it still wasn’t fixed. I raised support through the app about it and it was not a good experience. They told me to delete and reinstall the game, I did, and still had the same issue. They tried telling me that I didn’t have the latest version installed when there wasn’t an update available in the App Store - and showed screenshots to prove so. They completely ignored my messages and came back to say the team is “working on it”, but did not give me a timeline. They won’t give me a refund on what I’ve spent on the game because I’ve “already benefited from it” - I did, but no longer do because of these issues. Between this ongoing glitch and the gaslighting support threw at me, the game has totally been ruined. I’ll never download a game by Babil ever again.
Walking before running
Sat May 06 2023 P3t3rs3nI loved the game play at first, but the longer I played the frustrated I became, it seems to me as if the developers had a great idea but rushed its release before the game was ready. There are very few players and it only seems to be getting worse by the day. When you run into issues the support team is weak at best…I probably won’t give this developer another chance at my money.
Company won’t delete account
Fri Apr 28 2023 dzp0416This game is fun but beware. If you want to get anywhere you’ll have to spend money. Then when you’ve played and spent enough and request to have your account and information deleted they’ll tell you it takes MONTHS to do it and will require you to send in receipts of purchase among other things. I liked the game but it was not worth the hoops this company Babel Games will make you jump through.
Update just nuked it
Thu Apr 20 2023 marsupialFruitcakeSome fun gameplay but they just pushed an update that makes the game way more p2w. Building and upgrading your castle & support buildings now requires premium currency. Even changing your avatar has a cost. Some diamonds can be earned through gameplay but this update makes the f2p game way slower & handicapped vs paying opponents.
Bad update
Sat Apr 29 2023 JdiddydigLike the game, last update won’t let you upgrade buildings. Entire alliance is having issues. Developers just sending canned responses and not fixing the issues after weeks.
Too many drops especially in long battles.
Wed Apr 05 2023 Ssman828Decently fun to play but I CANNOT STAND ALL THE GAME DROPS BC ITS CONSTANT. Cant count how many times ive been dropped after a 20 min battle on here. Dont get why it hasnt been addressed yet bc i see most other reviews are just like mine. FIX THE GD DROPS!!!!!!!!!!!!!
