We hated virtual sticks and instead wanted to make the player focus on the most fun part of action RPGs: using the skills, gathering loot and making decisions. The control mechanics, meaning the character moving and attacking automatically with only few usable skills, has actually been the same since the first week of development. How much iteration occurred around the level of control the game handles and the level of control the player has? The fans have had a difficult time categorising the game, since it is drawing material from a lot of different sources but to us it is a great sign that we have discovered something fresh. The gameplay itself has a really strong look and feel of action RPGs and of course the best part the genre: lots of loot!

We understand that calling Nonstop Knight an action RPG might raise some eyebrows when people start playing it, and they realise that they actually don’t have that much control over the character. We were also really hooked on idle games and thought there could be a great synergy. Mika Kuusisto: We are all big fans of Diablo so we wanted to take the long lifespan and the immersive experience of action RPGs and make it accessible to a wide audience, even to people who have never heard of Diablo. : Kopla's mission is “to introduce action RPGs to everyone." Why did you decide that an idle game was the best way to achieve this? After 2 million downloads in four days, it's officially Flaregames' most successful ever launch.Īnd so, keen to find out more about the development process behind the game, reached out to Kopla Games CEO Mika Kussisto and Dana Massey, Producer of Nonstop Knight at Flaregames. This went on to become Nonstop Knight, a Diablo-inspired, dungeon-crawling take on the idle game.
In February 2016, its debut title - provisionally titled "Project Nonstop" - was signed up by German publisher Flaregames. Finnish startup Kopla Games was founded in 2015 by four former Rovio staffers with the mission to "introduce action RPGs to everyone."
