Fight solo or with up to 4 players cooperative multiplayer! STORY Is a single, continuous shot. This hasn’t been done since the 80's, rather than simply cutting from one stage to the next, the players enter an animated transition to the next area, creating the illusion of a fantastic journey.

Players can revive a fallen teammate, support or heal them and gang up to juggle enemies off each other in the air. Supports iCloud. There are a few in-apps available but we allow the whole game to be playable and unlocked through gameplay. Please consider the Premium Upgrade if you wish to support our game development.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Maximus 2 holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 3.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Maximus 2 has 2.6K ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of STICK KNIGHT's written reviews are positive against 71% of Maximus 2's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

STICK KNIGHT ships an update every 9 days, Maximus 2 every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and October 29, 2026 respectively.
