What happened at Starfish Beach?
Finneus had plans to surf every day of summer vacation until a mysterious accident at Starfish Beach took his arm and left him with almost no memory of exactly what happened. Now, strange things have been occurring all around Toro Island, and Finn and his friends are going to get to the bottom of it!
Structured like an old-school video game strategy guide, Fever Knights unravels the mystery of the uncanny events affecting Toro Island as Finn and his friends look for answers, making allies, and fighting enemies, using their skills, teamwork, and strange new powers to figure out what happened at Starfish Beach and what they can do to save their home.
With Adam Ellis’s vibrant comic illustrations, witty humor, richly detailed world building, and a fantastical cast of characters, Fever Knights is the best game you’ve never played.
I had been itching to read this one for a while and it’s exactly what I was hoping. It tickles that nostalgia factor, and it’s quite an inspired idea for a book. A fake strategy guide! Makes me want to make my own.
I got too into it and didn’t take pictures, lmao. And didn’t write about it right away. But it’s so colorful and engaging that I really enjoyed reading it and wondering what it would play like as a game. Ellis did a great job using the guide format to put together a narrative to tell a story, and it really made me laugh at times when he nailed all the weird little things from older games.
You can tell he really enjoyed making it and getting to stretch some creative muscles. Probably played a few games to make it feel just right. Honestly, I’d play this game as a kid. And now.
