Candle Knight

The game is great. Atmosphere and enemies are cool and the world is neat. There are massive bugs that need to be fixed. I could not kill one of the bosses (the scholar) due to bugs. He would just freeze in an invincible state until I reset the fight. I tried resetting about 5 times and could not get him to stop freezing forever invincible.

The mix of 2D and 3D is genius! very fun game

The art and the music is awesome!! :) I found it very hard but fun.

CANDLE KNIGHT -Plataforma na pegada roguelike -Aventura com uma ambientação 3d -Ação simples e bem intuitiva -Temos quebra-cabeças espalhados nos cenários -Sistema de transição entre os quadros, podendo transpor de fase por eles -Um mesclado de metroidvania e aventura -Temos conquistas disponíveis -Compatível com Steam Deck -Esta em PORTUGUÊS Um mesclado de aventura e metroidvania, com aquela ação simples e rápida, vários puzzles e baus escondidos no cenário, ambientação muito bem feita, o cenário de fundo é maravilhoso, as vezes ficamos olhando e admirando !! No geral adorei o game, apesar que morri varias vezes, ate pegar o esquema dele, portanto você volta a cada ponto de save, então não se preocupe o game pode ser hard no inicio, mas depois vai se adaptar a jogabilidade, um ponto que tem que ser corrigido e a câmera que em algumas vezes ela não foca no personagem, atrapalhando a jogabilidade !! Recomendo de olhos fechados !!

Souvenir d'enfance! Une combinaison de mes deux jeux préférés! Je joue à temps perdu et j'aime bien!

Great game overall. Beautifull artstyle, nice grafics and fun gameplay. This game just spills love from the devs from all over. The combat can be a little bit tricky, but you will get used to it. One thing that I didn´t like was the swing from the sword, when you hit the air, barly makes a sound, don't really know if that is a bug, but I think that the devs need to address this issue, beacause at least for me, it feels weird that the swing is silent. And last but not least, f#$%k them rats.

Increíble juego , el arte , la música , las peleas Me senté a probarlo por unos minutos y me pasaron horas. Muy recomendable

Candle Knight is a 2.5D metroidvania-like platformer wherein you can explore more of the areas of this castle/house with the abilities you learn as you progress, like the dash or the double jump. There's no map but there is an ability you get later on that lets you warp between checkpoints. The combat is very simple. There's an ignition gauge, being a candle knight, you have a little candle on your head. As you beat things up, the fire burns brighter. At mid level burn, you gain some extra defense, but at max burn you lose defense in favor of gaining extra attack power. Just don't get hit by anything while you're like that because it'll really hurt lol. You have a sword that can combo 3 hits and a shield that can block projectiles. I would caution against really using the shield for much else. If you block while lacking much ignition, you will be stunned and you will experience a world of hurt with a lack of invuln frames. It's quite punishing. You also can't block every attack even with gauge. I am not quite sure which attacks are blockable at all so I just attacked and ran back, or dashed through them and attacked while they were busy attacking the other way. This game has quite the jank going for it. Sometimes the enemies wouldn't trigger properly and would never activate, allowing you to just wail on them and they would crumble. Sometimes they would activate in a glitched state in which they couldn't move. Sometimes my jumps wouldn't register properly and I'd have to climb back up the mountain I fell from while chest hunting. It was a little messy. Not an impressively programmed game but it does look quite gorgeous even with medium Steam Deck graphics. The music is also very fitting and gothic. It reminded me of something you'd hear in a chapel area of a Castlevania game. Beautiful stuff! I was able to do the whole playthrough on the Steam Deck... sorta. The framerate got super unplayably choppy at the king boss. I was able to kind of mitigate it by changing the resolution to windowed mode and lowered all the settings but it was still pretty bad. At that point I just used all the money I had on hand to buy 20 healing potions and bumrushed through it. Worked without a hitch lol the rest of the game was smooth. Unfortunately as the game's final take that, the "unlock all other achievements" achievement didn't unlock so I will eternally be missing 1 achievement for this game unless it decides to just give it to me one day lol. I don't know who this game's target audience is. It's not a very difficult game, the platforming is rather simple, the combat is extremely simple, and there's not a lot to spend your in game money on so you'll probably be swimming in health potions. Preferably get this game on sale if you're exceptionally curious about it. It does nothing great or even good but it's neat for what it's worth and I did very much enjoy my playthrough.

So candle knight was way more platforming then I thought and I will say, I'm bad at platforming. That being said I played a bit but watched my friend do a complete run through so obviously it's got something to it. Pros: - The aesthetic was super neat. The bosses in particular. - The bosses and trials seemed to give a solid difficulty to people - A good use of the game assets to make the levels feel well built. Cons: - It has some minor bugs at this point - The graphics could use a little more polish as far as the textures are concerned. - The back tracking aspects were a bit cumbersome This game does not feel like a first release by a studio. It's really well done! But I also feel like with a bit more experience the devs good make this a top tier franchise in no time. I give it 4/5 burning candles.
