  • gameplay
    78 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay of "Hyper Knights" is characterized by a simple yet addictive button-mashing combat system combined with strategic kingdom management, offering a fast-paced experience that can become repetitive over time. While the mechanics are easy to grasp and provide a satisfying loop of raising armies and engaging in battles, many players note that the lack of depth and variety in gameplay leads to a decline in excitement as the game progresses. Overall, it successfully blends action and strategy, making it enjoyable for short play sessions, but may not hold long-term appeal due to its repetitive nature.

    • “The gameplay loop is satisfying to me and it's a good way to kill some time and have fun in a Mount & Blade lite style.”
    • “The gameplay is fast-paced and addictive, where you feel a sense of urgency at all times.”
    • “The gameplay is simple, yet fun as hell.”
    • “Gameplay is mostly bashing buttons to protect your troops.”
    • “The abilities are somewhat imbalanced as you really only need 3 of them, which cheapens the gameplay as the power of your abilities grow but your normal attacks stay about the same.”
    • “The gameplay loop of Hyper Knights is pretty simplistic; most of the enemies you face can be killed by two button prompts: X or C.”
  • graphics
    35 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics of the game are generally described as simple and occasionally charming, with a cute art style that fits the gameplay. However, many reviewers note that the visuals can be bland and repetitive, with some animations appearing awkward, particularly during large-scale battles. While the graphics are not considered impressive, they are deemed sufficient to support the engaging gameplay experience.

    • “From the stunning, but basic, visuals to the engaging gameplay, this game has it all.”
    • “I love the concept, I love the graphics for this particular game, and I appreciate how simple the controls are.”
    • “The graphics in Hyper Knights are cute and pixelated, and are, for the most part, pretty decently well done.”
    • “The first flaw of this game is with the graphics.”
    • “From when you start the game, the graphics are ugly and the soundtrack is passable.”
    • “Even though some of the large scale battles manage to stand out, the bland maps and clunky unit movements make visuals a less impressive package than it could have been.”
  • story
    22 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The story in "Hyper Knights" is generally considered minimal and vague, with many players noting a lack of depth and exposition. While some appreciate the individual backstories of knights and the unexpected twists in quests, others feel the game prioritizes gameplay over narrative, resulting in a repetitive experience with little incentive to engage with the story. Overall, the consensus is that while the game excels in action and strategy, its storytelling leaves much to be desired.

    • “I love how every knight has their own backstory, adding depth to the experience and making you really invested in the journey.”
    • “The quests are well-crafted and often come with unexpected twists that keep you on your toes.”
    • “Overall, Hyper Knights offers a perfect blend of action, strategy, and storytelling.”
    • “Storywise, there is nothing here; the game focuses on its gameplay, where it excels for a while.”
    • “The story in Hyper Knights is kind of vague and not really explained by the game.”
    • “I would really appreciate it if the developers were able to flesh out the story a bit better, such as giving a bit of exposition after taking a castle or beating a knight.”
  • music
    20 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game is generally described as fitting the medieval theme, with a nice soundtrack that enhances the experience during gameplay. However, many users note that the music becomes repetitive over time, as it often loops the same track, which can lead to boredom, especially during extended play sessions. Overall, while the sound effects are considered adequate, the soundtrack could benefit from more variety.

    • “I relaxed for 5 minutes listening to this music, long enough to realize that I would be okay.”
    • “Similar to its play style, the soundtrack of Hyper Knights feels like a miniature version of epic sound designs.”
    • “I quite enjoyed listening to the music during the massive fights because it feels like it's straight out of a medieval/fantasy themed movie.”
    • “The problem though is the fact that Hyper Knights uses the same soundtrack everywhere and, like the rest of the game, it also slowly grows boring to hear.”
    • “The overworld shares the same music with the title screen and it tends to get a little bit annoying if you spend a lot of time in the overworld (which I did).”
    • “The music is just one song looping over and the sound effects are fine, nothing special but not bad either.”
  • replayability
    11 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Overall, the game has limited replayability due to its identical map and lack of significant changes in new game modes, which can lead to a feeling of repetitiveness. While some players appreciate the potential for future updates and workshop support to enhance replay value, many feel that the current state of the game does not offer enough incentive to replay.

    • “The other modes add some nice replayability.”
    • “They're continually adding new things to the game, making the replay value so much better, and it's pretty good already.”
    • “May have some limited replay value, especially with workshop support.”
    • “It offers some limited replayability, but it is still the same map, so I doubt it will hold my interest for long.”
    • “Having finished the game, I don't think it has a whole lot of replayability, but what do you expect from 5 bucks?”
    • “The game isn't that replayable as the map is identical even with New Game +, which arguably makes the game worse as you become even more overpowered with all your existing abilities maxed out, practically making you unbeatable.”
  • grinding
    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players find the grinding aspect of the game to be a mixed experience; while some appreciate the challenge and enjoy the repetitive nature of combat, others find it tedious, especially during mid to late-game encounters with multiple enemies. The necessity for grinding to progress can lead to monotony, particularly when farming for resources, though achievements do not require extensive grinding or restarting. Overall, enjoyment of the grinding largely depends on personal preference for repetitive gameplay.

    • “At times quite hard or tedious, especially when you are fighting more than four enemy knights at the same time, but that mostly only happens towards the mid-late game.”
    • “The repetition does get tedious, but it takes a while.”
    • “My only problem with this game is that there can be a lot of repetition in the gameplay, especially when farming enemies for gold.”
  • optimization
    5 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game experiences notable performance issues during large battles, particularly when managing over 800 troops, leading to significant frame rate drops. While the controls are well-optimized for controllers, the overall optimization is lacking compared to other visually demanding titles. However, the developer has acknowledged these issues and plans to implement performance optimizations in future updates.

    • “It's controls, which are very much optimized for a controller versus keyboard and mouse, are simple and intuitive to understand.”
    • “The only time I faced issues performance-wise was the final few battles where I had amassed an army of around 800+ troops, which tanked the FPS quite hard.”
    • “It does unfortunately have performance issues in larger battles, which is disappointing given that far more visually demanding and complex games run better with greater numbers.”
    • “On the technical side, I have experienced no crashes, and although the game's performance can suffer when hundreds of units are in a battle, the developer has stated that performance optimization will be addressed in the future.”
  • humor
    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The humor in the game is widely praised for its fast-paced and entertaining nature, with players enjoying the absurdity of managing hundreds or thousands of units on the field. However, some reviewers suggest that adding even more absurd humor could enhance the experience further. Overall, the game is considered very funny, especially when the balance is well-executed.

    • “Speaking of being overrun, I've yet to even mention the best (and most hilarious) part about this game: you can have hundreds and even thousands of units on the field.”
    • “The only suggestion I would have for the developer would be to add some more absurd humor to the game, as it just kind of fits.”
    • “Very funny game; the balance was perfect.”
  • stability
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Overall, users report a generally stable experience with the game, noting that glitches are infrequent but do occur, particularly when remapping actions during battles. Players are advised to save often to mitigate potential issues.

    • “Still some glitches, so save often.”
    • “When in a battle, the game freezes when I try to re-map an action.”
  • monetization
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Users express frustration with the game's monetization strategy, criticizing misleading advertising and the intrusive promotion of other games within the gameplay experience.

    • “Do not fall for their misleading advertising.”
    • “Stop advertising your other games on the game screen.”
  • character development
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Character development is completed within the first two hours of gameplay, often going unnoticed by players, suggesting a lack of depth and engagement in the characters' growth throughout the game.

    • “The character development is finished in the first 2 hours; you will not even notice it.”
