Cameron writes "Knight Squad is a uniquely refreshing take on the arcade arena genre. It breaks the conventions that medieval games usually entail - that of bashing shields and riding on horse back while arrows rain down from the sky - and does something unexpected with its medieval setting. Rather than sticking to the more serious tones of medieval warfare, it takes great pleasure in acting as more of the court jester of the arcade world...in a very interesting way."

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!
Andrew Gonzalez from Xbox Enthusiast writes: "Knight Squad is by no means perfect, but from a gameplay aspect and entertainment value, Knight Squad is top notch...It’s best played with friends, but the game is fun no matter who you play with. 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"
It's good that there are solo challenges but the real fun seems to be in a group.
