What players say

Players describe Shady Knight as a fast-paced first-person melee game with buttery smooth movement and deep combos. The campaign is short, around 2 to 3 hours, with achievement hunting extending playtime. Some players find that new shield-type enemies hurt the pacing, while others praise the boss fight.
