Twin stick mech action + upgrades + story-driven = Old school 16-bit mech blasting. Buy a variety of weapons/upgrades after each level. You can jump out of the mech to fight but die in 1 hit.

Sand Knight is an amazing guns blazing, sword slashing, narrative rich adventure. I appreciate that the game lets you to get out of the mech and fight. Although you are much weaker and will probably die, I still appreciate it. I like that the game is rich in narrative and that you have a partner that feeds you lore and chit-chats with you. My favorite part is buying and upgrading the different mech arms. That fire sword is so cool. The last thing I will touch on is the Boss Battles. So many boss battles! There are elite mini bosses, sub bosses and Level bosses. I never had so much fun downing bosses. They make you change your play style to defeat them which is always a plus in my book. Great game!

I've been waiting for this game for years and it's everything I wanted and more. The art is amazing and the the game play is re-playable and has a good difficulty curve. I would recommend this to anyone who has a functional brain.
Feels like a fun old flash game.

The Sand Knight is exactly what its store page advertises: a frantic mech-based twin stick shooter-style game with exciting combat. Despite its appearance as a twin stick game, the gameplay is the most fun with mouse and keyboard. The UI is occasionally a little rough around the edges, but the core game is absolutely solid and with an amount and variety of content that may surprise you. There are tons of different enemy types, interesting boss fights, different biomes, and lots of upgrade options for your mech. You can even hop out of your mech and run-and-gun as a little pilot. If you're looking for a pixel art bullet hell / action game, you'll probably have a lot of fun with The Sand Knight.
After a few years of playing The Sand Knight at indie game conventions and saying, "This is a pretty good game, I'd pay money for this," my wish was granted and now I can play this nostalgic (for me), 8-bit, post-apocalypse-like, mech shooter without having to listen to Rick sigh every time I die.
Solid old-school mech shooter! I especially like the upgrade system and the pure panic of being in a boss fight when my mech goes down. It's a brilliant addition to give the player a "last chance" by fighting as the pilot with a single hit point. The voice acting could really use a professional redux and I'd appreciate save points, but I can confidently recommend this for the price.
A thrilling Super Nintendo-style game packed with depth, secret areas, and intense challenges. You pilot a powerful mech capable of crushing enemies underfoot, charging through obstacles, and unleashing devastating attacks. But when tight spaces or tough situations arise, you can hop out on foot—wielding a lightsaber, rolling to evade, and using a unique gun that accumulates bullets like a shotgun or fires in semi-auto mode. However, on foot, you're vulnerable—one hit, and it's game over. Will you kite, dodge, and outsmart your foes, or charge in headfirst, smashing everything in your path? Explore every corner for hidden "Sansum" to become overpowered, but beware—breaking statues always leads to a challenge. And when you're forced to raid an area on foot, expect a real fight. With stunning pixel art, reflective waters, beautifully designed trees, and buttery-smooth gameplay—not to mention an insanely fun arena mode—this is a must-play for any gamer. 8.7/10.
Has some solid boss fights, some good build customization during a run, and solid music. There's fun to be had in The Sand Knight. I can see how there could be some solid replayability with the various weapons and the ways in which you could optimize your build and strategies, if that's your thing.
