The gameplay in Jet Set Knights is characterized by unique twists that enhance the experience, though it suffers from a lack of clear mechanics and initial frustration. While the core gameplay resembles a classic arcade platformer, it offers a simple yet engaging loop focused on strategy and survival. Overall, it may appeal to some players for its features and visuals, but others might prefer more polished alternatives.
“They each offer a unique twist to the core gameplay, which in turn made the game more fun and worthwhile to play.”
“All in all, Jet Set Knights is a short but awesome game with stunning visuals and fun, if initially frustrating, gameplay.”
“On the other hand, the gameplay was extended in many ways that modern games offer.”
“The mechanics weren't really explained and it isn't immediately clear what you are supposed to do.”
“Unfortunately, the gameplay loop relies mostly on staying out of trouble and opportunistically taking pot shots while making sure nothing gets too close to the princess.”
“Conclusion: it might be worth a dollar for its feature set and simple gameplay; otherwise, skip to better games.”
