Aug 28, 2025The Knightling is a triumphant achievement for Twirlbound and Saber Interactive - an indie gem that shines as both a vibrant 3D platformer and a touching open-world journey. Its fluid moveset and charming audiovisual design make exploration a joy, while its heartfelt story and endearing characters keep each crusade engaging. Minor flaws in combat and quest variety barely scratch the armor of a game that gleams with excellence and sets a shining example for future (indie) titles.

Aug 28, 2025You can see the love poured into The Knightling. It has lovely visuals and a great family-friendly story, complete with Zelda-like vibes. The shield riding is a great touch, as are the other abilities you gain. The combat is fine too, and you’ll enjoy taking in the multitude of quests present. I did find the platforming a bit annoying, and the camera doesn’t aid things, but if you are looking for a family-friendly adventure with a lot of heart, then The Knightling is for you.

Aug 28, 2025Its relatively limited budget is felt in many ways, with various invisible walls, flawed collisions and more to slightly hamper the experience. Yet, I thoroughly enjoyed my time with Twirlbound’s open world adventure, as its cute visuals, on point humor, infectious sympathy and solid gameplay loop kept me more than intrigued enough to keep pushing on, with the end credits rolling before the game’s relatively limited scope would start hurting. Keep an eye out for this one, as it’s a pretty fun ride.
