LadiesGamers.comJames LuffOct 2023Knight vs. Giant: The Broken Excalibur is a good action roguelike worth its name. Combat is fun and satisfying, offering addictive pick-up-and-play gameplay that kept me returning run after run. I was personally very fond of the fantasy setting as a fan of the lore. However, it doesn’t bring much to the round table compared to other games in the genre and also suffers similar issues. The game can be grindy and requires a lot of investment before you get to the good stuff, making some runs feel like obligations than time well spent. If you love the genre, it’s a quest worth taking up. But if this has never been your chalice, then you need not venture. Somehow, I’m not tired of this genre yet, and Kings Vs. Giants certainly made a video game Knight out of me.

Rectify GamingWill "FncWill" HogeweideOct 20235/10Knight vs Giant: The Broken Excalibur is a commendable attempt at bringing the Arthurian legend to life in a roguelite action RPG format. With an engaging storyline, diverse gameplay mechanics, and an impressive array of abilities, it offers an enjoyable gaming experience. While there are some minor balancing and environmental concerns, these issues don’t overshadow the overall fun and challenge the game provides.

NoobFeedJay ClaassenOct 202355/100Knight Vs Giant: The Broken Excalibur has quite a few flaws and needs some serious polish to be classified as a good Roguelike. The biggest flaw at hand is the seemingly endless grind for almost no reward in the early stages and the game’s desperate need for some quality-of-life fixes, all this aside, you’ll be treated to a strange and intriguing story that will have you coming back for more. Sadly, the game needs more polish to make it worthwhile to keep coming back to the story just for the sake of seeing what happens to Camelot in the end.
