    The game's story closely follows the first season of the anime, supplemented by additional content to extend gameplay, but many players feel it lacks depth and detail. While fans of "The Seven Deadly Sins" may appreciate the character interactions and faithful recreations of key scenes, the overall narrative is criticized for being shallow and repetitive, with a focus on combat rather than a compelling storyline. Some players express hope for future installments that could expand the narrative further, but current gameplay is seen as limited and not meeting expectations for a franchise of this caliber.

    • “If you are a fan of the Seven Deadly Sins, this game will pique your curiosity as the story seems to stick with the anime and manga.”

The game attempts to blend combat styles reminiscent of other anime games but often falls short, leading to a lackluster experience for those not deeply invested in the franchise. While it shows potential, particularly for fans, many reviewers suggest that it feels experimental and could benefit from significant improvements.

    • “So far I like the game. People must realize this is the first Seven Deadly Sins game that was localized in America and on a bigger console, so I would say it's in its experimental stage. Gameplay is fun; they did add a cool amount of character, although I'm hoping they add DLC characters and costumes.”
    • “The game mechanics were just fantastic.”
    • “They have a tendency to re-use assets such as sound effects, voice actors, and even game mechanics for some reason.”

    • “Even with an IP as interesting as The Seven Deadly Sins, The Seven Deadly Sins: Knights of Britannia is held back by buggy controls and even more buggy mechanics.”
