XPCorner - 8/10
Knight vs. Giant: The Broken Excalibur doesn't reinvent the wheel in the rogue-lite genre, but it nails all the core elements making it well worth a playthrough. Returning to my opening question: Can Knight vs. Giant: The Broken Excalibur dethrone the likes of Supergiant's "Hades"? While it may not claim the crown, it's a commendable contender that fans of the genre will undoubtedly appreciate. Its standout feature is undoubtedly the epic battles, demanding both skill and patience to emerge victorious. However, be prepared for moments, especially early on, where grinding becomes necessary to gather crucial resources for base-building. Knight vs. Giant: The Broken Excalibur blends epic battles with rogue-lite charm, creating an odyssey that's as challenging as it is captivating.

TechRaptor - 6.5/10
Knight vs Giant has good combat at its core that seems to have been unfortunately neglected for far too many upgrade systems that take too long to matter.

Movies, Games, and Tech - 7.5/10
Knight vs Giant: The Broken Excalibur is a cruel and challenging rogue-like title. Can you explore a fantasy realm and save Camelot? Use the skills and powers of your fallen knights to slay every foe you face. Furthermore, no playthrough is ever the same. As such, this oozes replay value and longevity. However, it doesn't quite hit the levels found in Hades.

God is a Geek - 6/10
Knight vs Giant: The Broken Excalibur is an enjoyable enough hack n slash roguelike. Its bright and fun, but drips-feeds new skills and weapons far too slowly. Theres a lot to like, but repetition will set in before you see the end, and the dialogue will certainly grate on you long before then.

GameSpew - 8/10
We do love a good roguelike, and were happy to report that Knight vs Giant: The Broken Excalibur is well worth jumping into. Its charming art style, its fast-paced action and its wealth of upgrades all come together to make this a very moreish adventure indeed. Fans of the genre would be wise to give this a go.
