“The graphics are nice and cute, the gameplay is fun, almost like a metroidvania, and I especially like the world.”
“The graphics are adorable, the gameplay is fun, and, just like any good RPG, sidequests are present.”
“The graphics are cute and colorful, adding to the overall feeling of fun in the game.”
“I recommend this game in its content, but there are some graphical issues with 1920 x 1080 monitors and there is a weird stuttering issue every few seconds that I couldn't fix.”
“By graphical issues I meant that it looked a bit fuzzy on my 1920x1080 monitor but not enough to cause severe discomfort.”
“The art style isn't my cup of tea, it's a bit sloppy and childish looking but I guess that's the theme; I just wanted to try it for the RPG/action elements but the problem with that is, the game mechanics are really bad.”

The game's replayability is mixed, with some players noting limited options due to only two main routes, while others appreciate the potential for speedrunning and grinding for achievements. Despite the grind, many find value in exploring different paths and experiences, suggesting that replayability can be significant for dedicated players. Overall, it offers a blend of casual enjoyment and deeper engagement for those willing to invest time.
“Though most incredibly of all, this game has inspired me to speedrun; it simply has that much replayability, and I can feel the love that was put into this game every time I play.”
“I also like that after completing the second area, there seem to be branching options that will affect the gameplay, perhaps affecting replayability.”
“Unlocked all the achievements (even the secret ones), got everything in the game, and I'm still playing it! It's an amazing game with wonderful replay value, and I really recommend it to any parents, kids, and others. Super Chibi Knight is an amazing sequel and a great casual game on its own; quite frankly, it's a 10/10.”
“Not much replay value, as there are only two routes.”
“Finished in three hours with no replay value.”
“Considering it has 2 paths you can take for the story, and it's replayability you're paying $9.99 for about 6-8 hours of gameplay.”
