Critic Reviews
- an isometric Bullet Hell action shooter with brutal combat and unforgiving gameplay that can bring back memories for old-school gamers and act as a history lesson for the newcomers.
Ali Arkani · Oct 21, 2024 Reviewed on PCRead full review - A game that sometimes feels like taking on the legions of hell for real, Kill Knight is not welcoming to those without patience. It's a relentless onslaught that feels overwhelming until you get to grips with a generous and versatile set of abilities. Every attempt to push further into the abyss brings fresh challenges, testing the limits of your fortitude. Failure comes often and easily, but success is exhilarating.
Ken Talbot · Oct 16, 2024 Reviewed on SwitchRead full review - Despite Kill Knight’s ceaseless torrent of monsters, projectiles, and environmental hazards, there’s an impressive lucidity to the game’s blistering, hypnotic mayhem. While occasional screen shakes and flashing lights prove an exception, your dogged hero largely remains unmissable, a black hole that both absorbs your focus and devours your foes.
Niv M. Sultan · Oct 10, 2024 Reviewed on PS5Read full review - With four difficulty levels to overcome, lots of equipment to change up your play style, and five levels to master, Kill Knight is pretty fleshed out for what it is. On top of that, the controls feel very responsive, and it's all presented with a harsh, grainy aesthetic and appropriately punchy music. Given the style of game this is, it can become quite repetitive; level design remains fairly samey, and you're fighting mostly the same enemies throughout. Still, everything that's here is made to a high quality, and if you're in the market for a fast-paced test of skill, this hits the mark.
Stephen Tailby · Oct 08, 2024 Reviewed on PS5Read full review - Kill Knight’s merits lie in the varied combat, aesthetic appeal, and replayability of the game. High difficulty, limited progression, and repetition in some areas may be drawbacks to this experience. If you're one of those who enjoys games where reflexes are put to the test and you can enjoy short sessions with an adrenaline rush, then Kill Knight may be a great choice.
Joy Rahman · Oct 07, 2024 Reviewed on PCRead full review - KILL KNIGHT is a devilishly impressive isometric shooter. There’s a pure glee generated by the title’s fast and ferocious combat working in perfect harmony with its hellish visuals and sound design. What may at first seem like an overly complicated system of mechanics quickly falls neatly into place and it becomes apparent just how superbly everything is designed to be cohesive and put the power into the player’s hands. A deeper notion of progression could have helped the game to avoid that feeling of repetition so commonly associated with high score-based arcade games, but it’s a minor critique in what is ultimately a skillfully crafted experience. Just one that may not be for the faint of heart.
Elliot Attard · Oct 02, 2024 Reviewed on PCRead full review - Playing Kill Knight feels like what happens if you gave a medieval peasant a bottle of soda. It's violent, and unexpected, and adrenaline-charged and fun as hell.
Miguel Moran · Oct 02, 2024 Reviewed on PCRead full review - Kill Knight is easy to pick up and hard to master, but it's rewarding to do so thanks to the wealth of unlockable weapons and more that are on offer. Most importantly, it's devilishly fun to play, being fast-paced, responsive and full of variety.
Richard Seagrave · Oct 01, 2024 Reviewed on PS5Read full review - KILL KNIGHT is an exciting bullet hell romp that challenges you to master its mechanics and descend through the circles of hell, prompting you with greater difficulties and higher scores to beat as you go.
