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

This game is pretty decent, it's fun to run around the beautiful world and just do whatever you come upon, the music is great, and it's pretty to look at. That being said, the game definitly feels like the devs bit off more than they could chew; the second half feels significantly less polished than the first, among other things there are weird progression bugs, and the balance of combat encounters to healing availability being completely scuffed. The main city area in the beginning also has severe performance issues, not just running at low framerate, but more importantly inconsistent frame timing. Still, I did have good fun playing this game despite those issues, and I wish the devs the best in their next venture.

the knightling is what i would affectionately describe as a gamecube or ps2 game. vibrant with colors, restrained in its scope but fantastic in its execution and gameplay, with a ton of heart to back it up. don't be too fooled by the open-world tag or how people discuss this game : at its core, the knightling offers a map with the usual suspects (towers, sidequests, collectibles) but it's all very restrained. you aren't going to do 200 sided quests. you aren't going to collect 500 artifacts. you aren't going to activate 75 towers. it offers a concise experience, with a focused narrative and a strong layer of charm to tie it all together, with some fantastic movement and fun platforming. as a weaker point i would highlight the combat - though i had no personal issue with it and found it serviceable (and even enjoyable) - but the average person will expect some epic combat, especially based off the trailers. while you can pull some cool moves, your arsenal is limited even with upgrades, and you are not about to pull combo clips to put in a youtube compilation. it has more in common with something like zelda than devil may cry. with all that said, playing it on steam deck wasn't too great - performance isn't too hot on that front. a strong recommendation if you can temper your expectations and aren't expecting a 200 hours game. a shame it did not seem to get more visiblity than it seemed to...!

Sad to see such a massive game go so unnoticed. There's so much content, movement is fluid, visuals are incredible, puzzles and level design are well thought out, and the vast upgrade system works nicely. An enticing story, fun characters, and aside from the main quest line the countless side quests are also genuinely a joy to complete. (Additionally, I haven't come across a single bug.) Definitely recommend this one, and I hope it finds its rightful audience.

It is charming, though uneven, and has a frustrating lack of QOL features but I still liked this game despite significant flaws. The aesthetics and the dialog animations are cute, the writing is pretty good and getting around the world can be fun. In battle, parrying and juggling can be fun. The difficulty is wildly inconsistent, though. Some enemies can be read and parried reliably but other enemies are idle one frame and without any tells and from 15 feet away are suddenly the next frame at you with a hitbox. At least you can just hold the shield to block and wait for an attack then retaliate but that's not fun. The game also decides some enemies are intangible and your hits just clip through them like ghosts (they do make a weak dodge animation) and you're forced to use your special attack or parry. The design idea could be fine but it's really deflating when your hits "connect" but just don't do anything. The map is atrocious. Scrolling on gamepad is excruciatingly slow to the point where it is essentially not viable so I had to keep picking up the mouse. Even then it's pretty pointless because you can buy upgrades that show things like treasure maps, and there's a count for how many you've found and how many remain, but the icons on the map look the same either way. Fast travel is extremely limited and it's unclear when/how the spots unlock. Why can't I fast travel to each watchtower? Lastly, there's a companion you eventually get. I liked the voice acting and most of the writing but for some reason they decided to make them utter worthless nonsense when you're navigating or idling (such as while looking around to figure out a puzzle). The utterances do not add anything, are irrelevant and get annoying quickly. There's other nuisances but I've already detracted so much so I'll just reiterate I still recommend this game as it is charming, has likable characters and decent writing and can be fun to run and slide around in. I hope they make a sequel and address this issues holding this back from a glowing recommendation.
