  I've had my eye on this for a while now, So was made up I finally got to play it today. I've only gotten to world 3 so far but what I've played I've enjoyed. My criticisms so far are having to hold down F for ALL interactions, skipping dialogue, porting from rooms, upgrading weapons and building structures etc. It's nothing game breaking but gets irritating. Arthur having dialogue for the start and finish of every boss is a little irritating too. I'll also re-iterate what some reviewers are saying. The hit boxes need fixing. They're broken and misleading to the point of being obnoxious. Example: You'll be fighting a boss who will do an AOE attack. You will dive out of the big red circle with what looks like plenty of time only to get twatted with an attack. I've also noticed that the big AOE attacks will "charge up" VERY quickly again to the point of being obnoxious. I will say this though, While all of the bosses spawn adds, they only spawn 3 or 4 enemies which you can usually take care of pretty quickly. The bosses don't spam add's which is a personnel pet hate of mine. My only real gripes so far is the attack speeds of the bosses could do with a nerfing. Especially the Daemon Spitfire. He will constantly spam fire tornadoes that burn the ground and somewhat follow you, quickly followed by his big 360 breath attack which hits very hard (a third of your relatively small HP will vanish in 1 hit). Normally no big deal as you can dive/roll over the burnt ground but the hit boxes are too big and misleading and you will take damage even if you obviously dove out of the way with more than enough time to spare. So far I've only found 1 variation of challenge room (the Pide Piper) which only has 2 variations (wave defence or survive for 60 seconds) and only gives money as a reward. Again, in a roguelite/like variety is hugely important. At least mark on the map before going in to the room that its a challenge room so we have the option of skipping, because again reading the exact same text again and again and AGAIN does my nut in. Oh also, PLEASE, FOR THE LOVE OF KING ARTHUR allow us to aim with the mouse! I/we shouldn't have to aim with WASD but attack with LMR/RMB. It's a really weird design choice that I can't wrap my head around? Other than that Knights vs Giants is a pretty good roguelite. It's a little pricey but not obscenely pricey. It's not genre defining, what it does, it does well. But it needs a bit of work to get where it's trying to go. If you like roguelites give it a go.

  Overall, fun rogue-lite that feels like hades but a little easier. The combat is fast and smooth, the boss fights feel epic & unique, and so far every build feels viable. Also, the story is cohesive and the dialogue can be funny at times. While already fun, I sincerely hope they continue to provide updates. Some things that made me sad and the creators should SERIOUSLY consider correcting: 1) After the blacksmith, the Mason should be the guaranteed next NPC unlocked, every time. The whole game is about trying out cool knight combos and yet the knights take forever to unlock? Especially considering each run takes me about 30-45 minutes, am I seriously going to have to play for 3 hrs before being able to try other knights? 2) Enemies not being effected by traps is lame 3) Need to rework blacksmith upgrade system. The blacksmith upgrades where speed and crit chance increase by .01 feels bad. Why have all these upgrades if some aren't meant to do anything? If anything, do fewer upgrades for each weapon where each one actually means something. 4) Level design could use more variety. Within a zone, each area feels the same. Could add some Pits to fall & knock enemies into, more elevation (at this point I only recall one map that actually has elevation), interactables like explosive plant bulbs/TNT kegs, e.t.c. 71 114 101 97 116 32 74 111 98 33

  Knight vs Giant is a captivating roguelike game that combines the legendary tales of King Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table with the challenging mechanics of the roguelike genre. This game offers a unique blend of strategy, storytelling, and replayability that will keep players hooked as they embark on a heroic journey through the mythical realm of Camelot.

  The combat is pretty looking but the game really needs some tweaking. The number of times I've been damaged outside of the indicated circle is absurd. What's the point of large red circles if you're going to get damaged just outside of them? Upgrades are the worst you can get for this type of game: 0.1% crit increase, that's absolutely pathetic. Damage increase of 1 point, YAY SO AWESOME!! Definitely not worth the price tag, I'm refunding it.

  Meta progression is so weak to the point of being useless No one seems to know how to unlock other knights; for all intents and purposes there are only 2 weapons in the game. There's not a ton of choices between upgrades within a run; after one or two runs you've probably seen most or all of them. There's no variety in room types. Other than a fountain or merchant, every room is just a fight. There are no events or anything interesting. Combat would be fun if not for the weird hitboxes and what feels like lag sometimes, getting hit when you know you shouldn't have been.

  */edit* the dev updated making unlocking knights quicker and increased the stats of each upgrade however they didn't change the drop rate for meta currency so you still wind up with a few gold and crystals at the end of a run not barley enough to upgrade anything. The balance is horrible and there is really only one weapon worth using after that everything else is kind of trash. The whole experience gets very boring and grindy very quickly there is also no customization to your charterer which seems like a miss. This game is not even close to the quality they are selling it for. I hope the dev will continue but honestly it needs a lot of work before i could ever recommend this to anyone. */edit* This game looks nice but the pros don't outweigh the cons despite what some 'paid' reviews say because I can't see how an honest person who wasn't paid for a review can say that the meta progression is bad and unlocks for new knights is horrible but still recommend it as a buy then you see they received the product for free and a link to their youtube channel. Don't listen to these paid for positive reviews here that say this is a buy even with bad meta progression, it makes this game not even worth playing in addition you will get hit even when you're not supposed to for example being outside of an area of effect but still taking damage. To put it in idiot terms (for people like myself) you stand outside of the "red" and still get hit. I played too long to refund and regret it I was stupid and listened to youtubers who said they thought the game was still a great buy despite it's flawed meta progression i will tell you anyone saying that about this game was paid and has zero integrity. Just play the demo the progress you make there will be your progress in the full game for at-least 8 hours. I bought Ember Knights after this and played that for the rest of the day loving it which only highlighted for me just how bad this game is. I made more progress in two runs of Ember Knights than I did in 4 or 5 hours playing Knight vs Giant. The game has a ton of charm and could be a lot of fun but just not how it is. If the devs fix the meta progression, some balance tweaks, and fix the taking damage even when you are on the outside of a large area of effect this game could be a very solid game more worth the price which is a too high for the game you get right now. I'll update my review if/when the devs release a patch or update.
