Knight Squad

I play this game at parties, and totally recommend this for parties or just a group of friends. Make sure you do have friends though, because it really isnt much out of that. Cheap and a blast; what is not to like?

This is a 2D retro top down console ported single screen arena shooter. Control a "knight" and kill undead or other players in co-op or PvP in a variety of blocky arenas. As usual, the basic rule of thumb applies, if the game tells you to use a console peasant playpad controller, it's not a PC game and that means it's not a good game. While the developers addressed the very bare minimum (changeable resolution, customisable controls), the rest of the game is left as peasanty as possible. No mouse support at all (for a game released in 2015!). While most console ports are garbage, and this is no exception, the developers seem to think PC gamers will pay console peasant prices, they want $21.50 for this. $1.50 more than the console peasant appliance version, which is completely inexcusable.

Positives: - local multiplayer is fantastic if you can get a decent group of friends playing. absolute hectic mayhem and fast games can be tons of fun - all gamemodes are enjoyable. personal favorites are gladiator and crystal rush - all weapons are fun to use, albeit some are very situational (drills and bombs come to mind) [sidenote: explosive arrows are the most OP weapon imo] Negatives: - never seen a lobby for online multiplayer. wanted to give the online aspect a fair shake but it's completely dead sadly - playing by yourself can be very boring. single player challenges are hard, but aren't very replayable. the bots aren't particularly intelligent, but put up a decent enough challenge on extreme difficulty when they team up. Overall: I would recommend this game if you have a group of friends IRL that would be up for a chaotic party game. wouldn't recommend for those alone or with friends online, as they would all need to own this game as well to play online.

kinda boring tbh

great game

Simple but effective gameplay and an instant party hit among all ages

Damn addictive for local coop. Hours of fun.
