Play as the blue knight, Wonder, who is on a quest to unite the colored realms. Battle Knights is the kind of game your remember playing back in the days of the NES and SNES. It's an easy to play yet challenging platformer. The game may seem trivial with Wonder only being able to attack, block, and jump but, rest assured, that Battle Knights is not for the faint of heart.

Challenging gameplay that rewards memorization, dexterity, and careful melee, appealing to fans of difficult platformers.
Local multiplayer and co-op modes add fun and replayability, especially for playing with friends.
Retro-inspired pixel art style and well-designed levels deliver a nostalgic feel with a solid old-school platforming experience.

Technical issues including poor implementation of multiplayer, lack of controller support, imprecise and floaty controls, and no options to customize controls or resolution.
Gameplay difficulty is highly punishing and may be frustrating or off-putting to many players.
Limited player base and low community engagement, with some players reporting game crashes and misleading feature claims regarding controller compatibility.

The game's graphics utilize a retro pixel art style reminiscent of older titles like Shovel Knight, offering charming but outdated visuals. However, there are no resolution options or meaningful graphical settings, limiting visual customization. Overall, the graphics are simple and quickly become repetitive.
- “The feel of it reminds me a lot of Shovel Knight, with how the art style looks and such.”
- “A choice was made to use obsolete, decades-old retro pixel art as a substitute for contemporary PC graphics.”
- “There's no option to change the resolution and no useful graphics tweaks.”
- “After 10 minutes I had already seen everything that the game has to offer: some cute retro visuals and nothing more.”

The story received mixed reactions, with some players finding it cool and engaging despite the game's limited appeal. However, the co-op mode offered little variation from solo play, and optional challenges were seen as difficult and less accessible. Overall, the narrative was a highlight even if other aspects around it fell short.
- “I really don't care how hard or fun the game itself is, the story was cool and the game somehow turned my flat screen LED monitor into a curved CRT from 20 years ago.”
- “The optional stuff though is another story entirely, playing with a friend we tried them and I could tell I would not be able to do them; he, being better than me did beat them with some trial and error.”
- “Hardly a success story, gamers just weren't all that interested in the game.”
- “Local only is a bummer and the co-op story mode isn't that much different from playing alone.”

The gameplay is criticized for being janky, unpolished, and unsatisfying, with poor handling and responsiveness that suggest a lack of sufficient testing and refinement. Additionally, the overall game length is notably short, roughly around five hours.
- “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.”
- “When I say fairly short I mean like, maybe 5 hours worth of gameplay.”
