The Seven Deadly Sins: Knights of Britannia

Though it is accessible and enjoyable for many, it means everything that makes the anime so enjoyable is being spread too thin. It needs to be more focused, less complicated, and the good aspects need to be made great.

The Seven Deadly Sins: Knights of Britannia has many mistakes that can hinder your gaming experience. Thanks to its various mechanics and the detail of the destruction of the stage, as well as the variety of characters, this title make the path less heavy while we look for other sins.

The Seven Deadly Sins: Knights of Britannia brings the franchise for the first time in the videogame world. It is not perfect, but there are some good ideas. And it will make the fans happy.

A failed attempt to reprise the anime's success with a game that never gets too interesting on its gameplay or its narrative. A missed opportunity to make another a great anime adaptation to videogame.

The Seven Deadly Sins: Knights of Britannia is a solid experience for fans, but lacks on game modes and some of its ideas are not remarkably executed. It is correct both visually and in gameplay term though. Recommended for fans, a good entry to the franchise.

The gameplay is fun when it works properly, but sticking out the issues in multiplayer most likely won’t appeal to those with no emotional ties to the series. In that way, I feel, die hard 7 Deadly Sins fans may be the only ones that will truly appreciate this title.

The mega hit manga / anime The Seven Deadly Sins has been ported by Bandai Namco for the PS4 in the form of an action 3D game plenty of characters to choose from. But the archaic control scheme and the limited playability that these fights offer to the player harms the experience.

The Seven Deadly Sins: Knights of Britannia is a wasted opportunity. Battles are repetitive and the roster is unbalanced. Also, the graphics reminds one of a PS3 game.

While the art design truly captures the manga/anime source, the mechanics never really stand out and try to accommodate fans of beat-em-up, musou and 3d-brawling - all at the same time.

If you plan on getting into The Seven Deadly Sins, I believe you'll be better off watching the anime series and that's it. Unfortunately, the game doesn't to the anime and manage series any justice, as it seems rather unpolished and a bit rushed. Aside from the many problems with the controls and combat system, the game isn't interesting enough to make it worthwhile, not to mention that fans of the anime series will find it straight boring. It's clearly not the best game based on an anime/mange series outed by Bandai Namco and I don't see any potential for the franchise.

Ultimately, the choice of what to do with Seven Deadly Sins comes to down to one thing and it’s not really great. Are you a fan? If you are, I can almost guarantee you’re going to love this game. If you’re not a fan? There’s not really a whole lot going on to draw you in. A double-edged sword indeed.

I'd only recommend purchasing Seven Deadly Sins: Knights of Britannia to fans who already adore the world and just want to see more of their favorite characters. Otherwise, this game might feel a little lacking in substance.

It's a shame that Seven Deadly Sins first foray into videogames couldn't have been better. As a big fan I enjoyed the Knights of Britannia for what it is but most will find it mediocre at best.

The repetitiveness of the quests, the terrible management of the camera and the excessive imbalance of the tenzoni are sins that we can hardly forgive.

The Seven Deadly Sins is a fun anime franchise, and that sense of fun does translate to the game. It’s not a perfect game by any means, and has some genuinely aggravating elements, though, and that means it is going to be one that only fans of the franchise are going to enjoy.

Short, dull, and technically weak, The Seven Deadly Sins: Knights of Britannia is a mediocre game, that will probably be appreciated only by the younger and more hardcore fans of the saga created by Nakaba Suzuki.

Seven Deadly Sins: Knights of Britannia is clearly a fan-product with lots of content from the manga but very little appeal in terms of videogaming. The worst drawback is the repetitive aspect of the game with chains fights and boring side quests.

There's a lot of variation in the singleplayer, but innovation in and of itself isn't enough to make or break a game. In the end, mediocre visuals, a difficult story and a severe lack of innovation turn The Seven Deadly Sins into a severe disappointment.

The game isn’t terrible by any means, with some fans of the show sure to enjoy reliving Elizabeth’s quest, but there is too much wasted potential here. If you don’t mind the obvious lack of depth here, you can have some fun playing the game, just don’t expect that fun to last.

The Seven Deadly Sins: Knights of Britannia manages to disappoint in just about every category.

In Seven Deadly Sins Knights of Britannia you will be fighting more with the combat system than against your opponents. It just doesn't work and that’s a pity, because Seven Deadly Sins stays close to its source material.

Even with an IP as interesting as The Seven Deadly Sins, The Seven Deadly Sins: Knights of Britannia is held back by buggy controls and even more buggy mechanics.

Unfortunately The Seven Deadly Sins: Knights of Britannia just doesn’t do justice to the series at all. There are a few hours of fun to be had here, certainly, but even dedicated fans will find that it doesn’t last long enough. Repetitive battles and shallow combat just don’t keep things interesting for long enough, even if there are several characters to use. Add a point to the score if you're a fan, remove one if you don't know what SDS is.

With such stellar source material, it’s a real shame that The Seven Deadly Sins: Knights of Britannia is so disappointing. What could have been an exciting, funny, and rich game has turned out to be a dull experience, offering nothing to players but repetition with little challenge.

Surely a game that’s looking over at its anime stablemate green with envy, Knights of Britannia commits the sin of sloth, and ultimately lacks pride.

Quotation forthcoming.

This is a missed opportunity to make something memorable.The franchise has a lot of potential, but the result is a mediocre experience and its fans deserve a better game.

Repetitive gameplay, soulless visuals, and uncomfortable fan service. [May 2018, p.80]

Nothing to see here. You'll be better off playing some more Dragon Ball FighterZ or watching the anime on Netflix.

There's a tease of depth in the fights, and I even managed to have quite a bit of fun when things fell into place. Too often, however, it felt like accidental fun. Like I wanted to enjoy what I was playing so much, I stumbled into a good time.

Seven Deadly Sins: Knights of Britannia is a perfectly functional game, but those unfamiliar with the IP should probably watch or read the series instead — the lack of depth and content makes it hard to recommend to anyone except perhaps for the most hardcore of fans.
