[h1] Purchase Date: [/h1] 15th of February 2018 - 15/02/2018 [h1] Purchase Value: [/h1] 2.79€ (Bundle of 2 Games worth 5.98€) [h1] PROS & CONS Review: [/h1] PROS: + Fun. + Easy to learn. + Easy to 100% Steam achievements. CONS: - It lags in the end of big battles. [h1] Text Review: [/h1] Hyper Knights is basically a very simple 2D Mount & Blade. It's addictively fun to play as it's easy to learn and simple to finish. The gameplay overall is smooth, although it starts to lag in the end of big battles, it's the only negative aspect I noticed. This line is for the achievement hunters. It's easy but it requires just a little bit of grinding to 100% Steam achievements. [h1] Recommendation: [/h1] It was a good time waster, I recommend it. Buy it with a discount though. [h1] Rating - 65/100 [/h1] Review Date - 16/03/2026

The games chill tbh, switch brain off kinda thing. The annoying parts is the camera going everywhere, it should just stay on your character or just move a little. other then that itsd cruisy

PC game designed solely around a controller, store page makes zero effort to make this known before purchase, Sure, keyboard does work, but the dev created the weirdest control layout i've ever seen and of all the games on PC, that have controller support as a additional feature, and not the 'best experience' feature... this game doesn't even have control support on by default, you had to go to game property settings to turn it on before playing. It's like it's made by someone who says things like "I didn't know PC's had mice" followed by "I didn't even know you can use controllers either" fighting the knights is a tad finnicky... i'm still not 100% sure what the deal is... i assume you dodge red arcs, the blue arcs i assumed you had to be in to attack because even pressing X (blue) and Y (yellow) in correct sequence nothing happened often... until i just started dogding first, and then doing it, which seems to be the only way tomake them react to the combos... so still no idea what the blue arc zone fully does. questionable design, just doesn't seem that great after a while, but then during a big battle for a castle all my inputs starting getting heavily delayed, the kind …

I probably could have beaten this game in less than 2 hours, but I was cooking my food for the week and left the game on. Basically, once you get trebuchets, the game is over for the AI. Trebuchet clears out all troops in buildings and roamers. Then, just max out the amount of knights you can have and then manually send them to each region to conquer. The only region that wouldn't work with this was the "main castle" region, but I just built a trebuchet in the neighboring region and it killed all troops over time. Then, I manually raided it all myself. Other than that, the game can be fun. I liked dashing around and combo-ing enemies.

Hyper Knights by Endless Loop Studios takes a familiar foundation—top-down hack-and-slash combat—and injects it with just enough strategic flavor to give it a distinct rhythm. At first glance, it presents itself as a straightforward action title, but once you settle into its loop, it becomes clear that it’s aiming for something slightly more layered. You’re not just a lone warrior carving through waves of enemies; you’re also a commander, gradually building a force and pushing back against opposition across a fragmented medieval landscape. That dual identity is where the game finds most of its appeal. The combat is immediate and kinetic, built around quick movement, responsive controls, and satisfying crowd-clearing attacks. There’s an arcade sensibility to how everything flows—enemies swarm, you dash in, unleash combos, and reposition before getting overwhelmed. It’s easy to grasp within minutes, which makes the game highly accessible, but there’s still a subtle skill ceiling tied to timing, spacing, and efficient use of abilities. As you unlock upgrades, your character becomes more capable, and the pace of combat ramps up in a way that feels rewarding rather than overwhelming. T…

4/10 Would not play again. It only escapes being lower, because you can get it for just over one dollar if you time it right, and because it can be mildly satisfying if you play well enough. The game recommends a controller, but none of mine had any of those Xbox buttons that the game asked for, so I just used a keyboard. I do like the core concept of typing to fight hordes, because there aren't many games like that. My main problem is that the game doesn't seem to do much unique with it, even in New Game Plus. There are only two songs and a few basic maps in the whole game. The early-game was straightforward enough, but the mid- and late-game had way too many enemies. Imagine how exhausted I felt after fighting a huge wave of 200+ enemies, only to meet another equally massive horde just seconds later. I never thought about how hard my keyboard is until I had to give up playing normally and just mash the same three keys every few seconds, because the enemies bred like rats. The one bright side to having that many enemies is that it's easy to max out your abilities and hire all the knight allies that you can find, so the grind doesn’t just last forever. The game has too many bugs…
