Fun party games never go out of style; there's always a group of people playing games together and having fun. Knight Squad, which was shown at Microsoft's pre-PAX ID@Xbox event, looks to be a game that compliments those big group situations. Its blend of chaotic action and simplicity makes it the ideal pick-up-and-play game. Just be prepared to shout a whole lot, whether it's with acquaintances, friends, or soon-to-be former friends.

Players take to the arena was one of several colored Knights with the objective of capturing a chalice placed within."
If you don’t mind playing against bots or have friends to play with, Knight Squad is a solid buy and worth picking up in its PC or console format. It’s best enjoyed with friends, but the bots on medium difficulty kept us on our toes.
Just finished the challenges, they were pretty hard. Great local game, support for upo to 8 players on one console is great too!

Knight Squad is a game that surprised me and I hope that others can get as much enjoyment out of the game as I did. Grab a Knight, enter the battlefield, and fight for glory one match at a time"
