The game's story is engaging and addictive, particularly for players who enjoy heavy narrative elements, though some users feel it lacks certain features like vassal management and diplomatic options. While the core story involving knights is well-received, there are suggestions for additional side missions and mechanics to enhance the overall experience.
- “It is very addictive once you enter the knight's story realm.”
- “I like these games with heavy story elements and low data requirements as that's an indication of efficient programming.”
- “I played the original respect, I liked it but the whole gang stuff was not up my alley, but with knights and swords, that's a whole different story.”
- “It's a really good game, but I feel like there are some missing concepts, like being able to view vassals before hiring them or being able to disband them instead of sending them on suicide missions. There should also be a way to conduct diplomacy with other dukes for truces, and a method to get the church off your back.”
- “Like a side mission from the church or your barons, such as 'don't invade/raid for two turns and have 5 piety restored to you and your vassals' or something like that.”
