Canadian Online Gamers - "Bizarre! Creepy! Weird!
These are exclamations that can be taken as either good or bad and in the case of Black Knight Sword it is mostly good. Straight from the crevices of an equally bizarre mind of Suda51 comes Black Knight Sword. The game opens on the scene of a freshly hung corpse who is brought back to life by the Black Hellebore as the Black Knight on an epic quest to defeat the White Princess. What comes after is fairly standard gameplay in a cross between action and platforming but with a visual flair that keeps you locked in."
Hardcore Gamer: Starting April 16, the game will be half-off on XBLA, and only cost 400 MS points, or $5, instead of 800.
Black Knight Sword is a sub-par, boring, and repulsive game that fails to be the throwback it was made out to be. Insane graphics, flying on giant chickens and being molested by melon-headed perverts aren’t substantial enough ideas to save what is otherwise a bare-boned action platforming experience.
munkimatt says:"It’s necessary to approach any game by Suda51 with an open mind. The Grasshopper Studio auteur has created some of the most downright bizarre games of the last few years with killer7, No More Heroes and, more recently, Lollipop Chainsaw being the most recognisable of his works. Black Knight Sword marks his studio’s second collaboration with Hungarian developers Digital Reality after 2012’s well received shoot ‘em up Sine Mora."
