The gameplay of "Type Knight" is generally well-received, praised for its innovative mechanics and engaging art style, which enhance the typing experience. However, players note issues such as a lack of variety in enemies and repetitive gameplay, alongside a poorly explained defense mechanic and a shield system that disrupts combo timing. Despite these drawbacks, the game is considered a solid choice for those looking to improve their typing skills while enjoying a visually appealing and atmospheric experience.
- “If you want to get better at typing while having some visuals to look at and some game mechanics to play around with, this is perfect.”
- “As a whole, the gameplay in Type Knight, despite some issues with the custom options of the game, is rock solid.”
- “It has had a ton of care and passion put into it, as is evident from the fantastic pixel art, soundtrack, gameplay, and atmosphere.”
- “The shield mechanic also interrupts the combo timing, forcing most of the time to lose your spree.”
- “There is a defense mechanic too, but it's just not explained well at all, nor was it ever clear how to make use of it; a lot of it felt like it was down to chance.”
- “The variety of enemies and - in a broader sense - gameplay elements is very low so it gets repetitive and boring quickly.”

The game's story is described as simple and lacking depth, with some players finding it repetitive and wishing for more character development and dialogue. While there are light plot progression elements that provide insight into the protagonist's journey, the overall narrative does not offer a satisfying conclusion, as it loops back to the beginning. However, the charming graphics and engaging soundtrack enhance the experience, making the story enjoyable despite its limitations.
- “The idea is great, the story that it tells you is amazing, and oh my gosh, I'm freaking in love with the soundtrack!”
- “While the plot is nothing complex or massively engaging, it is always interesting to see such intervals where the plot does progress as you get insight into the mind of the knight and how his quest is affecting him the further he progresses.”
- “It certainly won’t blow you away, but of what plot there is, it is interesting and helps the player become somewhat attached to the character they control.”
- “There is no proper ending to the 'story' mode - it just loops back to the beginning and then crashes after a while, as apparently the creator did not anticipate anyone surviving that long.”
- “The plot to Type Knight is extremely simple, but throughout the gameplay, there are intervals where light plot progression occurs through small text passages, there being 20 in total.”
- “It certainly doesn’t have the complexity of other games like Typing of the Dead or Fishing Cactus’ Epistory and their upcoming Nanotale Typing Chronicles.”
