The Sand Knight Steam Charts & Stats

[h1] This game blew me away! [/h1] [h2] This mech retro game does a lot of things right. [/h2] [b] Pros: [/b] -Fun Retro Graphics - They look great and all fit together. -Great Controls - I never felt like I was cheated when attacking or dodging. -Excellent elaborate upgrade system - This was so good. You were able to really improve your mech and see yourself do more damage than before. Which you really need because the levels have great progression of enemies that the extra firepower and speed really come in handy. -Ability to leave the mech (by choice, or by explosion), there are some parts of levels that are only accessible out of the mech, which is kind of a Blaster Master throw back. -Most of what you see on the map can be interacted with or destroyed. -Good game length A few times I found myself losing my mech, but then I was able to keep fighting as a person where I could roll to avoid fire and I was able to earn another mech back, which I thought was a great touch. [b] Cons [/b] -I really wish this game had a New Game +. After I finished the game I really wanted to continue upgrading my mech to see just how powerful I could get it to be. I don't think additional content is necessarily needed, but give me a chance to jump back in that mech and level until I max it out. Then I could speed run the game while annihilating everything in sight. -I really loved the upgrade system, but because it was so elaborate, you could really screw yourself. I upgraded my machine guns a few times. Then I decided I wanted to try out the flame thrower. But because my machine guns were so powerful, swapping one of my two machine guns for my weak flame thrower really screwed me. I was able to make it to the next upgrade where I changed back to using two machine guns. I really recommend this game! It would be great to see another in the series or get an update for New Game +. Thanks!
