“Yeah so this game is a slept on gem. Are menus sometimes unpolished? Sure. But polish is easy. Great gameplay, engaging loops, and a hack and slash game that's found that perfect balance of tension and ease? That's the hard part.

“So originally I pirated this game, thinking it wasn't going to be that good. 6 hours later I just went and bought it because I knew it was one I was going to be coming back to again and again.

“The creator of Knights Within seems to have wondered "what if medieval knights had modern firearms?" and decided to made a game to answer just that question. The game consists of missions where one or more players traverse a map looking…”Recommended · Steam review · May 2026 · 58 h played · Report / request removal

“For a single dev to make this masterpiece is insane. The game is fun, action packed and feels great. No major bugs encountered, and the menu system is easy to use and simple. If you like Helldivers, Dark Souls, or the Warhammer Vermintide…”Recommended · Steam review · Aug 2025 · 4 h played · Report / request removal

“Its a cool third person shooter rogue like/lite (I realy don't know the difference) that is still early in development with a lot to do and two maps at time I writing this.
