Okay but could be improved

Not a bad game, but runs take far too long, only to be cut short by poor late-game boss design. The Ambassador fight, for example, seems to completely negate an entire archetype—something you don’t realize until you’ve wasted three hours. The party system is interesting, but coordination between archetypes feels either impossible or severely limited by RNG. After 30 hours, the typical fantasy troupe for example (knight, mage, archer) feels like a lackluster combination. Certain cards are restricted to specific classes or equipment, forcing decks to become bloated and uncoordinated just so every character has something to do. Unfortunately, there are far too many terrible cards, making tight deck-building more enjoyable in theory—but in practice, it leads to the same issue of certain archetypes being neutered by specific bosses. On a side note, I really don’t think support attacks should trigger enemy counterattacks. That might be the least fun game design choice I’ve seen in a while.

Hats Off to All Tight Spaces

This game is amazing. To the already superb mechanics of Fights in Tight Spaces, Knights adds new layers of strategic and tactical challenge, a wealth of gameplay options, a greater variety of characters and settings, and gorgeously detailed visuals—all in service of an even richer, more immersive experience. Before jumping in, I was worried that the multi-character feature might add unnecessary complexity, feeling more like an encumbrance than a boon. All my fears proved unfounded. First, creating a party is optional, not mandatory. Second, managing additional characters in combat unlocks exciting new play styles rather than hindering your chances of success. Of course, to truly appreciate the beauty of Knights in Tight Spaces, where every encounter plays out like a card-powered fantasy chess puzzle, you need to enjoy games focused on tactical close-quarters combat rather than mindless action or casual card-flinging. If that’s you, this game is likely to blow your mind. If I had to mention one area for improvement, I’d point to the text size on cards and certain UI elements, which might be a bit hard to read for tired eyes without glasses or on smaller displays. That said, I understand the developers are already working on it. Other than that, this game is, in my book, a solid 10 out of 10.

Not different enough from FiTS

I was hoping for a little more iteration rather than repetition with this entry. Still pretty polished (albeit with a forgettable soundtrack and story-what-story) and a tidy little puzzler, but it definitely doesn't do anything new so far. Party system may change my mind, once I get there. We'll see.

A blast to play

I absolutely adore this game. I really enjoyed the movesets available and the side objectives during each mission make for interesting additional challenges to battles. I love the music, I enjoy all the art and style, and I enjoy the general mechanics of the game. There's some eye-rolling dialogue at times, but a lot of it is quite fun. I had some issues with restarting maps on the lower difficulties sometimes doing really bizarre things to character placements and had to restart the game constantly while playing on lower difficulties and resetting fights. I also lost my very first run hours in to a black screen and presumably couldn't recover it (I wouldn't know, since I asked on the Discord server and was ignored). Since starting new runs on higher difficulties, however, I haven't noticed any bugs. There are some dialogues choices/events in Story that don't really seem to acknowledge your choice correctly, but they're ultimately at least relatively unimportant. I'd like a little more info in some menus, like upgrade/collect menus, but otherwise they did a great job including a lot of helpful info throughout.

A solid no.

Who thought it was a good idea to have a kind of attack that chase you and hit whatever you do, in a game based on a chess system? Who is getting beyond stage two? It doesn't matter, thou. Uninstalled forever.
