tl;dr: A fun but flawed open-world platformer with some nice movement tech. Not really worth the full asking price (30 USD), but well worth what I paid for it (8 USD). The Good [*] Movement controls are reasonable (on a controller) and teching is both possible and fun, though somewhat tricky to pull off. [*] The art is colorful and about what you'd expect from an indie Unreal/Unity 3D title that's not using art as the USP. [*] Combat can be a bit dull at first, but improves as you unlock moves. And if you still don't like it (or it's too difficult), there's an "immortal" mode and easy mode doesn't lock off achievements. [*] Finally, while the plot twist was predictable, it was still enjoyable and played well into the "people with power are terrible" theme. The Bad [*] It's blatantly unfinished: They finished the main quest and fleshed out the first area, but each later area only has 2-3 side quests. The part that annoyed me the most is that one quest has you gathering feedback from the citizens about the queen, but there's never any follow-up. [*] It's lacking consistency polish: Saving/reloading can break things, the camera freaks out occasionally, and movement glitching is common. [*] It's lacking performance polish: I rarely experienced slowdowns, but I'm playing on a fairly powerful PC. As other reviews have pointed out, FPS tanks on any mildly-complicated scene. Refutation of the Bad All 3 of the above points are indicative of an indie team rushing to get a game out before they run out of funding. So it's remarkable how well put-together this game is considering the flaws. There's a complete plot, gameplay works reasonably well, and I never encountered any game-stopping bugs (one crash, but that's to be expected these days). Unlike so much Early Access slop out there, Knightling is actually a game, and Twirlbound should be congratulated on getting that much done. Conclusion I can't really recommend it at full price, but it's definitely worth picking up on sale. For the content available, I'd say it's worth a good 15-20 USD. I'm giving it a 5/7: a good example of the genre and it brings a bit of novelty to the table.

This game deserves much more attention. It's beautiful, has a ton of old school vibes like ol school Zelda and Jak.

Beautiful little indie game that feels just like a classic ps2 adventure game, the art direction is fantastic and the music is out of this world. I'm sad to finish this game, for it was made out of pure love. Props to the team at Twirlbound <3

Excellent game, feel like it captures the feel of 6th generation platformers like Jak and Daxter and Ratchet and Clank, but evolves their concepts further and reinforces with its own identity and ideas - captures the spirit of them without being derivative at all, and feels like a natural evolution from those games with a proper open world and modern graphic and presentation. So far the only thing I'd wish for is a little more polish and optimisation but apart from that having a blast and really hope more games like this can be made these days.

Another game dev recommended it to me and I'm hooked. The game is immediately accessible (something that I really needed at the moment), with a narrative structure and open world mechanics that feel logical and attractive straight away, with just the right amount of guidance to get you into it without ever preventing you from exploring the way you want it. I just sank 5 hours into it without realizing it. I can't highlight enough how well thought-out the game design is, from the placement of collectibles to the traversal options (it’s exhilarating to learn how to keep your speed up with the shield), as well as the combat, move set and upgrades. A lot of inspiration from Zelda and other games but not in a way that feels by-the-numbers. Transcending the mechanics, I love the map layout and world structure, at least for what I've seen in the first act: everything is interconnected in ways that feel natural and lived-in while also rich in puzzles and secrets, everything is built off a consistent and unmistakably Dutch visual design language. Super refreshing to see and simply beautiful ; the same thing can be said about the sound design, I especially love the ambiance, with field recordings full of birds and nature sounds, as well as the dynamic soundtrack that works so well and isn't trying to overdo it with constant epicness. A very distinct sound, and as an oboist myself it's so good to hear your instrument used so well. What a lovely game, I can't wait to return to it for my next session. I hope more people get the chance to play it. My only negative for the moment is the relatively low performance on Steam Deck compared to other games with similar systems and visuals, thankfully it is entirely playable on the default settings, I just wish I could push them a bit higher to make it look as good as I know it can.
