GameRankings: 78%
RPGamer: 4.5/5 QUOTE 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. RPGFan: 82% QUOTE 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 QUOTE 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 QUOTE 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. Game Informer: 7/10, 6/10 Edge: 6/10 This post has been edited by Dr Sturm: Jun 6 2009, 04:39 PM |

QUOTE(Dr Sturm @ May 18 2009, 03:30 PM)  Fixed, but glad to see that for the most part Kitten is being received well. It truly is a unique blend of RPGs, manic shooters, and strategy games. ~~~ It's all a dream. Yeah... just a dream.

... That's not fixed. Game Informer is the only review up right now, but others will come soon.

It's fixed, because I don't think GameRankings does their own reviews of games. They just compile other sources' reviews and get their score from the mix of scores of their sources.

No, they don't, and I never claimed they did. I put it at the top BECAUSE it's a compilation of a bunch of other sites and magazines.
Again, not fixed. |

It's scary because IGN of all places had a reviewer that understood what he was getting into when playing the game.

"Developer Sting has worked itself into a pretty nice little rhythm these days. The company does a lot of niche gaming, focusing on smaller projects like Rondo of Swords and Dokapon Kingdom for Atlus, and then churns out a full-on AAA effort every couple of years. "
Sting worked on Rondo of Swords? |

No, they didn't. I feel like IGN has said that before, too.

Agreed, when I first read that I'm like "Sting did Rondo of Swords? I'm pretty sure it was Success..."

That surprised me too. Than again, I'm satisfied they reviewed the game at all. Last I checked, Gamespot hadn't bothered and none of the game stores near my house ordered any copies.
~~~ be happy! Violently....

The German magazine "M!Games" (formerly "MAN!AC") reviewed it in its import category and gave it a 87.
QUOTE Märchenhaft präsentiertes, innovatives Strategiespiel mit hoher Einstiegshürde, aber tonnenweise neuen Ideen." QUOTE Fairytale-like presented, innovative strategy game with a high hurdle for beginners, but tons of new ideas. ~~~  |
