Shady Knight

Though highly enjoyable when you do know what you're doing, this game is excessively difficult at times. The skill curve is less of a curve and more of a cliff. Learn the details and learn them QUICK or you're going to be frustrated to the point of no longer having fun.

if you want a fast-paced, ultrakill type game w melee, perfect game, support the devs and buy it

Shady Knight is very fast paced and I love it. The levels are amazing and feel more like sandboxes than actual levels. Very fun 10/10

can i do this in a walmart or no

I love this game, the dopamine rush when you pull off a complex series of acrobatic stunts followed by a thrown sword, or an apex shot with a bow, or anything like that is unlike any game I've ever played. It's amazing.

Although, I do have one gripe with it. I have spent many hours (more than I'd like to admit) playing ULTRAKILL. Anyone who's played UK knows how incredibly skill-based it is, and I love that about it. I'm not saying that Shady Knight isn't skill-based, but it isn't as skill-based as UK is. My singular gripe is that thrown weapons have a slight homing effect on them. I understand why some players would like this, but I don't. If I throw a sword and miss, I want it to miss, not have the homing effect correct my aim. I am used to needing to be very precise in UK, so I don't need this homing feature to help me.

My suggestion would be to have the homing effect of thrown weapons be toggleable in the settings, so players who want that assistance can have it, but players (like me) who want the game to punish any mistakes, can have it be that way.

Anyway, I overall recommend this game, as it is a lot of fun, very engaging and fast-paced. I will definitely be keeping an eye out for any future cptnsigh games.

P.S. just had an after thought, the shield is barely present in the game, and I feel like it should have been more widely used throughout the levels, as I find it to be a very fun weapon to use.

great game

cool combat and movement

Been looking forward to the full release since playing the demo and it did not disappoint, definitely worth the buy if you like fast paced games.

TLDR: Just play the demo, that's peak gaming. You aren't missing much with the full version though, def not worth $20. I'd love to see it grow though.

Long version: Missed potential. Fumbles the ball pretty hard as you progress though. Every enemy looks like same in the heat of the moment, and they suck to fight. Every enemy feels like they all do the same thing, but way too much at the same time. You never really get a grasp on what exactly they're supposed to do, and they have way too many moves where a lot of the enemies should be split into distinct classes. The aesthetic gets super boring as you go on, with only mild palette swaps for each world, so while it looks great, it desperately needs a change of scenery once in a while. It's sad because I fell in love with it the instant I played the demo, and was super excited for the full release.

This game is great. It's like a mash-up of a souls like and ultrakill. though do be warned that this game is rather short. Otherwise it's fantastic

Combat, movement, controls, parkour and animations are excellent. Runs very well and was very fun. Beautiful game

mm knight parkour..

Amazing experience. I originally found this game when Dani referenced it in a video and decided to buy it. Would love a sequel.

Excellent game with lots of love put into it! Very juicy gameplay with a nice art style, great sound design and oozing with style. Short playtime for the price, but an excellent challenging game nonetheless, 8/10 definitely try it!

just reviewing because i found out cptnsigh reads the reviews love you cptnsigh great game youre the goat

DAD

Idk. Its just... Good.

If you are into movement based first person games you're gonna like this one for sure. Feels great.

ultrakill but with knights

GOD GAMER SKILLS FOR ME

;alsjkdf;asjf

its gameplay is unmatched by any game I have ever played

This game is so friggin tuff

another easy win for the indie game scene

very fun

medieval ultrakill
peak

heavy is dead

fun when i actually play well but i have absolutely no clue how im supposed to pay attention to everything at once

2 blessed lancers are thrown on your screen and you have to focus on them but theres also a blessed spider up your anal cavity and you now have a d rank

Shady Knight is an interesting concept, but I feel the speed of the combat and the precision necessary to pull of many of the first-person parkour moves will elude many players, as they eluded me. While the first few hubs were very enjoyable, the difficulty of the later ones and the number of times you will have to restart a level in order to hope that a combination of skill and sheer luck will let you progress does not make for an enjoyable experience.

bonk bonk

An amazing movement first person fighting game. You must defeat many enemies and steal their weapons to finish the level. Retain your honor as a knight. Fly through the air, Swing on ropes, Sprint to the ORB. You must prevail.

The game is really fun, I wish it had more levels but luckily the ones that are here are very replayable.

The movement system is completely nuts and has so much depth. The more I play, the more I learn and I get to sandbox my way through my favourite levels over and over. Same goes for the combat system, it goes hand in hand with movement.

No matter what you do, you feel stylish as fuck. I love this game.

ALSO it satiates my need for an epic kick and throwing barrels.

This is an awesome game, but it's way too short for the full asking price. You literally beat it in 2 hours.

Worth the price if you get it for at least 75% off, but otherwise wait for a sale. There's just no damn content. Lots of games like these recently, like Boomerang X. Solid gameplay but literally no content. Shame.

If this had another set of levels about as long as the first, then this would be worth the $20 asking price. The combat mechanics are super slick and very stylish, the movement is good, and there's a lot of tech for players to discover for themselves rather than being spoonfed it. This is all good. But by the time the game really gets rolling, it's already over.

I have a very difficult time recommending this game because it starts out fun, tutorials are balanced well with new mechanics. But you eventually reach a wall of skill and confusion that climbs higher than the casual player can reach.

I love this game. I was here ever since the demo (not at the start) and it was fuckin good. Its insanely good i recommand it for sure.

Its really good its also like ultrakill but you're a knight with a some kind of grapple. W game been following it ever since the demo and its worth the money. 9/10.

This game is just fucking good. Probably the best gameplay experience of my life. It's is very tough, but also extremely rewarding. Focus lies on skill expressive combat and momentum based platforming, which is both incredibly well done. You can speedrun most levels if you wanted to, you could do the bare minimum to get through them, or you could style on everything and dash all over the place while destroying hordes of enemies.

I need more of this game. Community level creator when?

Very Shady 10/10

Shady Knight is the only game where I’ve gone from feeling like a medieval John Wick to a clumsy potato in chainmail in the span of 3 seconds. One moment, I’m flipping off walls and dropkicking knights into oblivion; the next, I’ve missed a jump and am getting jumped by gravity. 10/10, would parkour of the map again.

love it. Great movement.

epic, my absolute favourite game

It's not a very long game, but it's very well made and incredibly fun to play. The different abilities and weapons give you plenty of options for how you want to play the game.

game too hard
its a skill issue

The most fun game I've played in a while. The levels are not very visually interesting, but the mechanics of the game are all incredibly in-depth, so I don't really care about that, personally. It doesn't seem that long at first, but there are some really cool achievements to do and a whole slew of secret stuff for you to unlock. You basically end up doing the whole game a couple times over, but with new skills under your belt. Like, you don't unlock abilities in this game, you discover them. There's so many things you can do that you just need to figure out as you go. If you can master all the abilities you have the game has some insane flow.

Run 1: Don't worry about style, just get through it and learn
Run 2: Go for flawless SSS ranks on all levels. (This is honestly really easy aside from the last two, once you've learnt the game.)
Run 3: Find all the Hidden Skulls in Each Level, which unlocks some secret levels in the hubs.
And finally, go achievement hunting. Some of them, like nexus climber and copycat, are genuinely really cool challenges for you to complete.

Overall the game has a lot going on and it really feels good to master. I would recommend 100%ing the game. It only took me 17 hours of playtime which really isn't bad.

Got repetitive quite fast, great for people who practice stuff over and over to be absolutely perfect but for FPS, that's not for me.

THIS GAME IS SO SLEPT ON. It's like if ULTRAKILL and Neon White had a baby. You can choose to casually play this game, Destroy everyone to get an SSS rank, or run through it and get a world record by 1 millisecond. Soulless games like Call Of Duty are making 1 billion per game they make and this only made 250k?!

super satisfying combat, sorta like ultrakill but instead of weapon variety it focuses on combos and parkour

wish there was more than one bossfight tho

This game is extraordinarily satisfying, I love replaying every level for perfect SSS ranks. It gives you tools and lets you go ham crafting your own perfect runs. I would highly recommend this game to anyone that has adhd or ocd or just enjoys searching every nook and cranny in other games as perfecting the combat in this scratches that exact same itch.
