“Fun simple mechanics while still being an exciting multiplayer game.”
“This game is so wonderfully simple, but deep in its team-based gameplay, one of the all-time favorites of our local multiplayer gaming group.”
“The fast-paced gameplay is varied and exciting enough to keep you and 7 friends hooked for hours.”
“The gameplay is very shallow.”
“Basically this game is one analog stick + one button; this sums up the combat mechanics it offers.”
“A one-button top-down game begs for twin-stick shooting mechanics; backing off while facing your opponent would add so much depth.”
Knight Squad (Nintendo Switch)
As far as party games go, Knight Squad has more going for it than you’d expect at first glance. It’s accessible, it’s frenetic, and it’s fun. The lack of online multiplayer and a worthwhile single-player mode will be easily overlooked when you’ve got your personal squad of knights seeking battle in your living room.

Knight Squad may bore many who want a solid standalone game to experience, but certainly stands on its own merits by being an enjoyable multiplayer title. The mechanics work well and don't require too much reflex, as the hit-box of other players is very large, making it so any player has a fair chance at winning. Ultimately, Knight Squad is a decent arcade multiplayer game that will be amusing for a while, but quickly becomes boring after a short amount of time. King and royalty, however, should look elsewhere for a more entertaining tournament.
