May 27, 2021Knight Squad 2 is a fun, competent, and chaotic multiplayer game great for parties, but features little to keep players interested beyond the few hours it will take to tackle all the game modes and unlock all the Knights. The addition of cross-platform play is certainly nice and a feature I hope more games implement in the future. A few more unlockables or even a leveling system for the Knights would have been nice, but as it stands I enjoyed my time with Knight Squad 2.

Apr 14, 2021If you’re a big fan of the first game then Knight Squad 2 is more of the same. There are a few new game modes that are fun and the variant options allow for some unique customization, but overall this sequel doesn’t really stand out. It’s essentially the same game, with a few new things and missing some stuff from the first game. It can be fun in short bursts or with some friends, but I don’t see the player base being anywhere near as large as the first unless it’s included in GwG or Game Pass like the first one was. In addition, the price tag of $15 seems a little steep for a few new game modes and an updated art style.

Apr 18, 2021Knight Squad 2 on Xbox looks the part and offers plenty of customisation options. However, thanks to the shallow gameplay the price tag feels too expensive to be fully justified and as a result the fun is short-lived.

Jun 8, 2021Knight Squad 2 could be perceived as quite a minimalist sequel for those who’ve already played the previous title in every possible way with their friends. Nonetheless, the pleasure felt when playing remains the same and whoever discovers this multiplayer game for the first time will greatly value being able to launch quick and entertaining games online or with friends at home kicking back in the couch. After all, there are few games nowadays offering accessible and stress-free gaming sessions for up to 8 players.
