What A Joy To Play
Spike Knight is such a joy to play! I wish more fantasy roguelikes were this lighthearted. It’s so colorful, the levels are outdoors instead of in dungeons, and the music is so charming and fun! I can’t help but smile when I open this up to the main menu! There is such a pleasant levity here. What a fantastic hidden gem this is!
You get a free demo which gives you access to the 1st part of the game. But for only $3 to unlock the rest of it, it’s a no brainer. The extra content in the full game is totally worth it. It’s a fun rogue-like, but it’s pretty forgiving with the undo button. The characters each play differently, and most of the abilities are really useful, and make for some nice little builds. It balances scope and quality really well, and makes for such a solid experience.
On a personal note, this game has brought me so much joy and happiness at a time when I really needed it! It’s just a small little game, so I think I’ve overly resonated with it emotionally. I guess in these doom-and-gloom times we live in, a little levity like Spike Knight goes a long way. At least it did for me.

What a great puzzler
Full disclaimer, even though these are my actually thoughts, I know the guy.
I came across this game recently and I thought I’d try it out. I can say that I’ve gotten all of the unlocks and beaten the game a few times.
So some of the better design decisions include how the game eases you into progression through unlocks. I really like that you can undo pretty much anything, including shop purchases; and that undo has a decent history. There are a bunch of quality of life things that make the gameplay smooth as well. The time to complete a fight and to complete the whole round is also really well done. The enemies are just clever enough that you can feel like they might outsmart you and you might outsmart them. And it feels really good when you’ve puzzled out how to get yourself out of a pretty bad situation.
The only things that I wish it had was a way for me to know what enemies my team is targeting and a way to put turret effects on my turrets after my hourglasses run out. I can see the decision on why this is not the default behavior. These are not dealbreakers though.
After going through the free content, I ended up purchasing the whole game. It is totally worth it and a great deal for the amount of content it gives you.
