RPGamer: 4.5/5

Knights is a shining example of the creativity that the game industry needs more of. It is without a doubt a must-have for RPGamers, especially those that enjoy unique, strategy-focused battle systems. Knights in the Nightmare is an incredibly creative and interesting experience that should not be missed by anyone remotely intrigued by the concept.

I only offer this one warning: be ready for a challenge. This is a difficult game, and you have to want to learn how the game works to enjoy it. Put in the effort, and you'll get a lot out of it. It may not be the best handheld strategy RPG on the market, but it's certainly the one that turned the genre on its head. I will not soon forget it, and if you take on this 20-hour-long DS game, I suspect you'll remember it fondly as well.

IGN: 8.8/10

It’s deep, and for some it’s going to be too much. For others though, this is the depth and strategy that is missing from current-day games. If you’re up for a truly original, genre-less experience that innovates and pushes players in a way few titles will, Knights in the Nightmare is meant for you.

Games Radar: 7/10

It just tries to do too much, so instead of a historic must-play that changes the genre forever, we get a quirky, worthwhile oddity.

The German magazine "M!Games" (formerly "MAN!AC") reviewed it in its import category and gave it a 87.

Märchenhaft präsentiertes, innovatives Strategiespiel mit hoher Einstiegshürde, aber tonnenweise neuen Ideen."

Fairytale-like presented, innovative strategy game with a high hurdle for beginners, but tons of new ideas.
