The gameplay of the game is a mixed bag; while it features enjoyable action platforming and appealing graphics, some players find the mechanics, such as the counter system, to be janky and the overall experience to be mediocre. The game offers two modes with varying difficulty levels, catering to different player preferences, but it has been criticized for lacking depth and originality, feeling more like a mobile port than a true "souls-like" experience.
“Really cool action platformer, nice graphics, fun gameplay and works really well on deck 🙌🏼.”
“There are two gameplay modes: Lancelot (the main story) with casual and normal difficulty, and Galahad, which is a massive difficulty spike and a sort of iron man mode.”
“Fallen Knight has a great art style, and I love the mechanics that were inspired by other games.”
“While the visuals are quite nice, the gameplay is actually mediocre side-scrolling dash n' slash with a somewhat janky counter system, and absolutely nothing about it could be reasonably considered 'souls-like', which might be more reasonable given that this seems like a port of a mobile game.”
“There are two gameplay modes: Lancelot (the main story) with casual and normal difficulty, and Galahad, which features a massive difficulty spike and a sort of iron man mode.”

The game's story is primarily delivered through the Lancelot mode, which offers a casual and normal difficulty experience, while the Galahad mode presents a significant challenge with an "iron man" style gameplay. Players appreciate the visual design and sound but criticize the overall brevity of the story and the difficulty of the bosses, leading to mixed feelings about the game's value for its price.
“There are two gameplay modes: Lancelot (the main story) with casual and normal difficulty, and Galahad, which features a massive difficulty spike and serves as a sort of iron man mode.”
“Lancelot's story starts you off on a particular level, after which you can choose from four others, similar to Mega Man, though bosses will still be present for re-runs.”
“The visual graphic character design, story, and sound are awesome, making the challenge of the bosses even more engaging.”
“So far I've beaten Lancelot's story, and have only dabbled two stages into Galahad's, though I'm not enthused to continue, and the game is fairly short for the $15 price point.”
“Some say it is short, too hard bosses, lack of story.”
“Lancelot's story starts you off on a particular level, after which you can choose from four others, though bosses will still be there for re-runs.”
