Knockback: The Awakening Reviews

My son and I played this today, and we had a blast! I love the comics style graphics and corresponding sounds--especially the "ow." The music was spot on setting the scene. I found myself wanting to continue to additional waves. The quality of the game will keep this one in my regular rotation!

Knockback is a fun multiplayer shooter game that allows you to choose between five different classes each with their own specific roles and talents, although the perhaps the best part about this game is the countless customizable weapons components you gain from leveling up, with theses components, you can create a huge range of strange weapons that make it so your personality is a large factor in your play stile.

This game is awesome! I have never played video games before, but caught on to this one. Usually, in the past, I have enjoyed watching my children and grandchildren play the games. It is fascinating listening to them talk about the play. I love listening to the weird noises generated by this game, as well as the strange creatures flying around, running around and blowing up! It doesn't hurt that my son is the developer and I detect his voice in some of the screams and groans. Love it that this game is fun while not being totally gruesome and violent. I love the graphics and the surprises that the kids uncover with play. All in all, this game makes me smile and makes me want to join in with the grandkids.

This game is awesome! I love to play it with my cousins. The sound effects are awesome and the zombies are hilarious. My favorite weapon is the snail snot rock. It's fun to get the zombies in all kinds of way. This game is so much fun!

I really like Knockback as a fun and casual game you can pick up pretty easily. I was an early adopter so I've seen the number of enhancements being pushed out all the time, so I really admire the dev for that. If you have children and are looking for a fun game to play with them, then I can't recommend this enough. It's a steal for family fun.

Very funny game. Many options to customize skills!!!

This game is absolutely amazing and it brings me infinite amounts of joy every time I play it!

very nice game!!! the mechanics to create new spells is just awesome!!! Cons are the missing tutorial :) and the wiggly movement, but the Pros are very huge! Tutorial: you can forge new spells at the anvil in the city and you need to upgrade skills. Thats all, maybe it was to hard for me without explanation :) Search some friends and go for it! (solo is less fun but you cant miss it, to create spells, like in this game, ciao magicka here i am Knocking* you away. Are you Awake* now :) I cant say it enouth, creating spells is better than Two Wolds I and II and Magicka together!

This is a fun game that is receiving lots of active development. The game runs smoothly and doesn't require a beast of a system to get a good framerate. I really enjoy the weapons forge and the physics of the game. I look forward to future development and I think this game has a ton of potential! Definitely recommended.

Knockback promises to do what is rarely and/or incompletely done in games. In this case, that rare treasure is to create a natural feeling, physics-driven world that drives wholly unnatural, ludicrous, and hilarious outcomes. Yes, this is self-admittedly an early access game, but the developer clearly has a sense of humor and a love for their work. Typically I'm tempted to wait for a Steam product that piques my interest to drop below $10 before I purchase it. In this case, the developer is clearly still actively invested in enhancing their labor or love, and I purchased this game at the $5 mark expecting that in time the price will actually go UP. I'm looking forward to seeing how the game continues to develop. It already has a unique personality to it, bolstered by its pleasant graphics, energetic music, and uniquely comical sound effects. If you think you'd enjoy a physics-based sandbox of a game (I mean, come on, you can literally go bowling for zombies or bring down the house) incorporating a magical fantasy setting, cooperative multiplayer, and heavily customized characters... snatch up Knockback early on, and keep coming back for more.
