In the realm of video games, there are few things more satisfying than teaming up with friends to take on a horde of enemies. Knight Squad, a 1 to 8 player game released in 2015, delivers this experience in spades. With its charming retro graphics, frantic gameplay, and hilarious power-ups, Knight Squad is the perfect game for a night of couch co-op madness.
Gameplay
Knight Squad is a top-down arena game in which players control knights who must defeat their opponents using a variety of weapons and power-ups. The game can be played in a variety of modes, including:
- Versus: A free-for-all deathmatch mode in which the last knight standing wins.
- Team Deathmatch: A team-based deathmatch mode in which the team with the most kills wins.
- Capture the Flag: A mode in which teams must capture the other team’s flag and return it to their own base.
- King of the Hill: A mode in which teams must control a central point on the map for as long as possible.
- Destiny’s Tower: A co-op mode in which players must work together to defeat waves of enemies and complete challenges on each floor of a tower.
Weapons and Power-Ups
Knight Squad features a wide variety of weapons and power-ups that can be used to defeat opponents. Weapons include swords, spears, bows and arrows, and bombs. Power-ups include health potions, speed boosts, and invincibility shields.
One of the things that makes Knight Squad so much fun is the way that weapons and power-ups can be combined to create devastating effects. For example, a player can use a bomb to blow up a group of enemies, and then use a speed boost to quickly escape the blast radius. Or, a player can use an invincibility shield to protect themselves from enemy attacks, and then use a sword to charge into battle.
Graphics and Sound
Knight Squad’s graphics are intentionally retro, with a pixelated art style that harkens back to the SNES era. The game’s soundtrack is also chiptune-based, adding to the overall retro feel.
Multiplayer
Knight Squad is best played with friends, either locally or online. The game supports up to 8 players, so there’s plenty of room for everyone to get in on the action.
Overall
