Knight Squad 2

This game is a gem. I can't believe it doesn't have more reviews. It is an excellent couch co-op game for the family. Reminds me of Fuzion Frenzy for Xbox, only Knight Squad has less variety but better, deeper game play in each game type. With Knight Squad keeping everyone on one screen, you really can play 8 people on the tiny Steam Deck screen all the way up to your TV. I bought the game simply to see if the steam deck could handle 8 players. It can. Easily. I did have to change a setting on the steam deck itself or in the game to get more than 4 controllers recognized. Don't remember what it was. But I have had 7 people playing at it is a blast. There are really two games here. The first is the one Knight Squad with default settings. It is okay, sometimes a little slow. I played for 30 minutes, thought that was nice, then put it down for a couple months. The second game is when you turn on max tier pickups on the shortest timer possible. My son and I randomly tried Knight Squad again, found the modifiers, set them for the extreme, and had an absolute blast! An hour later my entire family is sitting on the couch playing along. The matches become much faster paced, even franti…

I like to run video games party nights with friends in their 30s 40s. Some people are good at video games. Others are holding a controller for the first time. This game is perfect for the mix. Very easy to pick up with simple controls but it gets very competitive and fun. One of our favourite local multiplayer party games.

I enjoy the first one way better, but this one is alright and even superior in some areas. It shines brighter when you play in a party. The more, the merrier.

If you liked the first one. You WILL like the second!

Pretty good sequel with great visuals and nice new minigames, however it sucks that the challenges were removed entirely and also the shield is so annoying as it just blocks anything and makes pvp suck. Though I love how you can choose the weapons and items for the game just like with Towerfall.
