Battle Knights

Love me a good platformer, and this game definitely fits the bill. Very good price for what you get. I've never been too good at these types of games, but this one is fantastic. The levels have a very nice flow, with increasing difficulty. Just getting past blue realm is difficult enough. Also, try out the dungeon mode when you get the chance, it's awesome. 11/10 would recommend.

Its retro presentation indicative of the design philosophy driving it all, Battle Knights seeks to deliver an intensely challenging platforming experience. Level design and enemy placement reward memorization, dexterous platforming and careful melee. Best played with a gamepad! There's a ton of game here. On top of a single-player / co-op campaign spanning 6 unique zones complete with boss battles and optional challenge stages, the devs have packed in an impressive amount of bonus content by way of additional game modes, 3 of which wait to be unlocked. Getting into the habit of blocking is paramount for survival as the 3 hits you're afforded can vanish in a blink. Bringing up that SSB-ish shield, however, saves you from suffering any non-spike damage for as long as it's active. While your attack range feels Wonderboy wimpy, there are random power-up drops that offer a Castlevania Adventure-like projectile to accompany each slash, although these are limited use. Dungeon Run mode is my personal favourite of what's available in Battle Knights, taking the classic "pushy level" and making it into a self-contained, multi-stage adventure. Like the rest of Battle Knights, it's punishingly difficult and the forced scrolling can get frustratingly speedy but there's real satisfaction to be had learning a Dungeon Run level and executing it perfectly. I'm looking forward to trying the multiplayer modes out with a buddy! :)

It's pretty fun. It has the SNES/Genesis feel to it which is always nice. It is also pretty challenging. If you are good at the game it won't take you too long to beat but for 3 dollar it is definitely worth it.

Bunu inceleyen ilk türküm sanırım. :D Gayet zevkli. AAA oyunları daha çok sevsem bile eğlenceli vakit geçirmemi sağladı. Tek sıkıntı çok zor olması. Yapımcı arkadaşlar biraz zorlayıcı ve oyun süresinin uzun olmasını istemiş sanırım. Gene de gayet başarılı buldum. Oynanmasını öneriyorum.

[h1]Huge caveat[/h1] While I do not find this game good for me, it might be for you! It's well done in what it's trying to accomplish but it is SUPER hard. Think [i]I wanna be the guy[/i]. Local only is a bummer and the co-op story mode isn't that much different from playing alone. Watch my [b]co-op[/b] video for full thoughts, Thanks! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e4dNIrRoe5o

Polished. Fun. Great level design. Hard AF. Old school platformer! Can't wait to try out COOP! Whatever you're thinking for an indie platformer, this surpasses it.

Really great game. Plays like a classic side-scroller and does it really well. And its just the right amount of challenging. Very addicting

So I thought I posted my review here before, but I guess it never went through! To preface my thoughts: I did not play Battle Knights alone. I experienced only half of what makes the game what it is. But I think that was the best part about it. My friends and I started with the multiplayer versus mode. After an hour of winning, losing, joining into teams and trading memebers of my team, we switched the bonus dungeon mode. Little thing about the dungeon - you have to play it in all one go. My friends and I spent about another hour playing it, only to get to the third stage and die from exhaustion. The next day we booted it up, and found out that we had to redo it. So we did it again, and it was still just as challenging and just as fun. For those of you who do not like rage games, then this is not for you. For everyone who does, grab a friend who hates them and force them to play it with you. We never finished it (not yet, anyway), but you can finish it with the proper amount of skill and timing. So Pros: Forces you to think Challenging Multiplayer Little to no bugs (The developers do a very good job staying in contact with the audience and keeping them informed on what is going on.) Can be played for a short or long amount of time. Cons: Challenging (No, it is REALLY challenging and may make you doubt your skills as a gamer.) Multiplayer is the best way of playing it. (If you have no friends, then you're out of luck with this game) Has to be played in one go. (The campaign does not. Let me restate this: the campaign can be played in multiple goes. The dungeon run, however, can not be.) So all in all, it's a pretty good game. The feel of it reminds me a lot of shovel knight, with how the art style looks and such. If you're looking for a party game to play with friends , this would be a good suggestion.

Battle Knights is yet another of literally thousands of 2D retro platformers infesting Steam and lowering the average quality of all video games everywhere. This one is particularly badly made but does feature multiplayer, but badly implemented. There's a slew of technical defects in this, it looks a lot like it was made just following a tutorial/template for making Unity platformers. Unsurprisingly this has no value as a serious game for gamers due to the abysmally poor quality and lack of polish. From a technical perspective, the game doesn't meet basic minimum requirements that most PC gamers expect as standard. A choice was made to use obsolete, decades old retro pixel "art" as a substitute for contemporary PC graphics. It's unclear if this is due to lack of budget or talent, regardless, the overall visual quality of the game is extremely low as a result. There's no option to change the resolution and no useful graphics tweaks. There's no way to ensure this is running at the native resolution of your display. There's no guarantee this game will look right on any PC as a result of this hamfisted design decision. The controls and game handling are notably very floaty and imprecise. It's janky and unsatisfying to play... and any experienced gamer will tell you, the handling, responsiveness and general gameplay feel of the control scheme must be well polished for this kind of game to succeed. Unfortunately, this is something the developer seems to have phoned in, with little to no apparent gameplay testing or polish done. The controls can't be customised, which will be an annoyance for many, but it can also render the game unplayable for differently-abled gamers, left handed gamers or gamers using AZERTY or other international keyboard layouts. To make matters worse, there's no mouse input, despite this being sold on PC as if it were a PC game. This is unacceptable and somewhat insulting to PC gamers. It's a good demonstration of the poor attitude the developer has towards PC gamers, and this attitude has resulted in yet another defect in this game. These technical defects push this game below acceptable standards for any modern PC game. Battle Knights didn't appeal much to the people who own a copy of the game, either. It has achievements, and they show us a very clear picture that the game didn't really capture any interest from gamers. The most commonly and easily attained achievement is for clearing the first couple of levels, trivial to get, but less than 29 percent of players bothered to get that far before uninstalling the game. Hardly a success story, gamers just weren't all that interested in the game. The poor quality of this game is also reflected by how many people spent time with it. At the time of this review, SteamDB shows the all-time peak player number was only 4 players. This is a remarkably low number, and now, the only player activity occurs once or twice a month, presumably someone loading it up to see what it is then quickly uninstalling it. Considering there's over 120 million gamers on Steam and well over 50,000 games for gamers to choose from, the overwhelming lack of interest in this low quality game is to be expected. Battle Knights is relatively cheap at $3 USD, but it's not worth it. Given the defects and quality issues with the game, coupled with the unrealistic price, this is impossible to recommend. This is also competing with over 9,000 free games available on Steam, many of them far better than this paid product.
