So, after waiting so long to get my hands on this game, I've finally got it. These kinds of things are always tricky. If you've been playing games for a while, it's actually very few games that meet the hype. However....
....I haven't played past the tutorial and it seems to me that Knights has actually managed to do something that is increasingly rare - distinguish itself through its play mechanics.
Having only played through the First Stages and looking through the tutorial and tips, its plenty apparent that Knights will be unlike many games. I'm going back to it right now to play it in earnest, but so far, I'm already very happy with at least the effort to try and do something new.
P.S. - Does the orb collecting aspect of the game remind anyone else of Ikaruga, but the way?
