  • Fast, responsive and satisfying gameplay with precise controls and kinetic visceral fun.
  • Unique and charming art style inspired by claymation and nostalgic childhood themes, with high-quality Chinese localization.
  • Excellent soundtrack with upbeat electro synth that energizes many, and rich content including 75 levels, equipment customization, collectibles, and speedrunning features.
  • The story and dialogue are simplistic and somewhat childish, not matching the depth of the gameplay experience.
  • Some players find the music mismatched to the intense action or get impatient after repeated failed attempts.
  • Several minor annoyances including an isometric section and boss fights being frustrating, limited equipment loadout management, occasional bugs in two-player mode, and some animations lacking smoothness.

    The music in the game is widely praised for its upbeat, electro synth soundtrack and strong, energetic style, with many players calling it one of the best soundtracks they've heard. However, some players feel the music doesn't always match the fast-paced combat or find the songs personally unappealing, leading them to mute the game’s music. Overall, the soundtrack adds charm and is complemented by collectible in-level records, enhancing the experience for many fans.

    • “The soundtrack is hands down one of the best I've heard.”
    • “Extremely fun, tightly designed, insane soundtrack, great claymation inspired graphics, dynamic flow state action platforming.”
    • “In strong contrast to the Teslagrad music that was full of somber strings, Knuckle Jet features a banging upbeat soundtrack full of electro synth and several songs with sung lyrics.”
    • “It is not anywhere near energetic enough for the blistering action on offer, and I got very close to just not playing it further as the music feels so mismatched to me, and outright unpleasant in some ways.”
    • “I don't like the actual songs either, so it's sort of a double whammy.”
    • “The music energy levels do not feel connected to the frenetic gameplay, and I am pretty sure many will agree with me on that.”

    • “The story is composed with love and is high quality, though the style does not fully align with the fast-paced gameplay, creating an interesting contrast.”
    • “As an action-forward game, the plot is fairly superficial but still adds a meaningful backdrop to the gameplay.”
    • “Rain's storytelling track record suggests that there is always some depth to be had in the story, beyond initial impressions.”
    • “Don't get me wrong, it's been composed with love and is high quality, but the style does not fit the gameplay at all, as if it's totally disconnected from the cartoonish story and fast-paced action.”
    • “Being an action-forward game, the plot is fairly superficial.”
    • “That actually bothers me more than the story itself.”

    • “What I don't think is so subjective however is the music energy levels not feeling connected to the frenetic gameplay, and I am pretty sure many of you will agree with me on that.”
    • “Fun gameplay, nice soundtrack, and a lot of terrible jokes.”
