Good Knight - One-Button Bullet-Hell

[h1] Hidden Gem of a Puzzle-Hell [/h1] I'm both totally surprised and not surprised at all that I loved this game, such a unique concept It's might look incredibly imposing and has a potentially very large difficulty curve... but once you get into the groove of things it's a wonderfully beautiful game with a simple premise and a crazy good OST. It feels very reminiscent of the arcades, and on top of it has loads of mod friendly capabilities. It also contains some really interesting twists with specific unlockable game modes. Of course this is still early access at the time of writing, but it's shockingly good for early access and I definitely hope this gets more notice in the community! Plus plenty of helpful or hilarious "life advice" quotes to help you on your way to mastery. For me personally? I'm taking specifically life advice #0135... [h2] Recommended! [/h2]

This is a very interesting game. As it says on the store page, don't be intimidated by its difficulty. It's a very hard game, but every pattern is a new checkpoint, so you are usually only 15-30 seconds or so away from the next pattern. The best way I can describe this game is basically kind of like Super Hexagon but amped way the hell up. The game telegraphs bullet patterns, and you need to avoid them. In most patterns there is a circular wall in the middle of the arena that you run around, and it blocks bullets. So a dominant strategy is to anticipate where the bullets are coming from, and run to the other side of the circular wall to block them. Later in the game this doesn't work so well because it takes away the middle wall a lot. But you learn to adapt. The game to me is a piece of art. It has a story, but I don't understand it and don't care, but the gameplay is very much a flow-state. When you're in the zone you feel like a god. The music is also incredible, it's some fusion of power metal and classical with Touhou influences. Also reminds me a lot of the Ys series of games. I like the graphics style, but it's not a particularly good looking game to the average person. I wi…

I cannot tell you any legitimate reason why exactly this one, but Good Knight is a random game I picked up that is so good I cannot fathom it. Scratches the perfect itch for me; painfully hard bullet hell madness, music so good that I bought my first ever sondtrack on steam, and an experience you really cannot get anywhere else dude

Coming back to this more than 3 years after the Good Knight craze went by and I still think about this game a lot... It is still one of the best Filipino passion projects I've stumbled upon, and I find myself craving the satisfaction that this game provides even 3 years after. I really really really love this game. But in all honesty I do think Good Knight is a game that not everyone (but a lot nonetheless) can enjoy and appreciate. Though I would say that this just goes for every bullet hell game that exists as well. It's meant to be visually cluttered and chaotic. But what I find very appealing and honestly very clever about Good Knight's game design is that, since the player just moves in a fixed circular direction, you don't need to mind all of the bullets at the same time, and there is a certain way to visually read the bullet patterns in the game that is very unique compared to all the shmups and bullet hells I've played in the past. Once you give the game enough time, your brain will pick this up automatically. For me, once you reach this point, that is when I would say you've just started playing the game for real. I say all of this technical stuff because what I love…

this is why indie gaming is superior
