Machinima: "Black Knight Sword is the sort of game that, had it come out fifteen years ago, would have a huge cult following by now. Any gamer that cries for a new, classic Castlevania should put their money where their mouth is and buy this game immediately. Beyond that recommendations are harder to make. Black Knight Sword embraces trial-and-error difficulty that modern design claims to have graduated from. Whether or not you agree with the movement will largely determine your appreciation of the game."
Hardcore Gamer: Starting April 16, the game will be half-off on XBLA, and only cost 400 MS points, or $5, instead of 800.
Black Knight Sword is a sub-par, boring, and repulsive game that fails to be the throwback it was made out to be. Insane graphics, flying on giant chickens and being molested by melon-headed perverts aren’t substantial enough ideas to save what is otherwise a bare-boned action platforming experience.
munkimatt says:"It’s necessary to approach any game by Suda51 with an open mind. The Grasshopper Studio auteur has created some of the most downright bizarre games of the last few years with killer7, No More Heroes and, more recently, Lollipop Chainsaw being the most recognisable of his works. Black Knight Sword marks his studio’s second collaboration with Hungarian developers Digital Reality after 2012’s well received shoot ‘em up Sine Mora."
