Hyper Knights

4/10 Would not play again. It only escapes being lower, because you can get it for just over one dollar if you time it right, and because it can be mildly satisfying if you play well enough. The game recommends a controller, but none of mine had any of those Xbox buttons that the game asked for, so I just used a keyboard. I do like the core concept of typing to fight hordes, because there aren't many games like that. My main problem is that the game doesn't seem to do much unique with it, even in New Game Plus. There are only two songs and a few basic maps in the whole game. The early-game was straightforward enough, but the mid- and late-game had way too many enemies. Imagine how exhausted I felt after fighting a huge wave of 200+ enemies, only to meet another equally massive horde just seconds later. I never thought about how hard my keyboard is until I had to give up playing normally and just mash the same three keys every few seconds, because the enemies bred like rats. The one bright side to having that many enemies is that it's easy to max out your abilities and hire all the knight allies that you can find, so the grind doesn’t just last forever. The game has too many bugs to list. It's not constant, mind you, but two of my most noteworthy problems came during the Second Chance sequence and from an abrupt "Steam failed to initialize" error. First, when I lose all my health, and I have to do this weird rhythm game to win Second Chance and get half of it back, sometimes the camera wouldn't even let me see the button prompt, so I had to mash for that, too. Second, there were times when I waded through countless hundreds of enemies and 4 knights at once, and the game just said "Steam failed to initialize" and made me close without saving, like it's one of those Live Service deals. I think I lost count after the third time that happened, because it burned me up so much. To end this rant on a positive note, I will admit that I probably didn't play the game as well as I could have, and the game still managed to get 88% positive reviews as of this writing, so maybe you won't have all of these problems that I did. I just could not help but document everything I found, so that Code Monkey's new games don't have as many issues in the future.

Отличная игра, за день прошел, правда пальцы болят (постоянно участвовал в сражениях).

This game is the best, it is mount and blade, but you are an overpowered steroid abusing knight. I wish it had more unit types like Cavalry/Cavalry archers. I love the fact that you get to disperse your minions to take villages and its even better when you have a knight by your side it's just dopamine heaven.
