Knight Squad 2 Review
Release date: April 14th, 2021
Developer: Chainsawesome Games
Platforms: Xbox (reviewed) and Steam
Price: $14.99
Knight Squad was a fun chaotic multiplayer game when it first game out. The 2nd game takes what the first game started and expands on it. If players are looking for a fun multiplayer game for gamers of all ages this is a great title to have.
If you were one of those gamers that enjoyed Knight Squad in 2014 then you will enjoy this sequel. There are more knights, more modes and more weapons. Number 2 is a multiplayer arcade party game, players can pick from solos, duos or be part of a squad which can be up to 4 players in all sorts of crazy mini games. Pretty much players try to outscore opponents and user power ups to knock out foes. Knight Squad 2 can be played online or locally with others.
There are 13 game modes. Some of these include capture the flag, soccer, paint the arena (your color has to dominate areas), race mode, crystal rush mode and several other interesting games. There is something here for everyone to enjoy, all of them are just as chaotic as the next game mode. The power ups such as the horse let players move faster and/or make it harder to get killed. The special weapons are fun, nothing like explosives or a bow to aid your knight in grabbing the grail and dashing to base.
It's one hit, one kill, but there are quick respawns. The screen sometimes gets full of chaotic action and the controls are easy to master. The knights have all different styles and colors but sometimes it gets too chaotic to tell where your knight is. You can play single player with bots and it's okay but the multiplayer is where its at.
Looking for more fun? Players can customize different game modes with different power ups. Xbox has a great article on this and this could lead to more fun. So grab a knight and charge!
