Developed by independent studio Chainsawesome Games, Knight Squad is an arcade game focusing on multiplayer gameplay for up to 8 people. Each player becomes a knight and the group fights on confined arenas that resemble levels from the classic Bomberman. Players can make use of many different pieces of gear and weapons, including swords, bows, and crossbows, but also laser guns, as well as special actions (e.g. ninja, kamikaze).
Knight Squad is an independent arcade game designed around multiplayer gameplay for up to 8 players. The title was developed by Chainsawesome Games, a developer team of three.
The creators describe their game as a crossover between Bomberman and Gauntlet. The player becomes one of the titular knights and is sent to fight on small, confined arenas. Chainsawesome Games prepared a number of both competitive and cooperative modes. Knight Squad offers the following game modes: Grail (you have to carry the grail into a target location), Capture the Flag (a mode known to all fans of multiplayer gameplay), Soccer (a local variation of the popular sport), Gladiator (stay alive within the golden zone), Last Man Standing (be the last one to survive all rounds), and Team Deathmatch (teams against eachother).
The game was designed with multiplayer gameplay in mind (both local and online) for up to 8 people. However, if none of your friends is available at the moment, you can play with bots (AI-controlled knights). There are all sorts of weapons you can use in combat. The developers implemented various tools of destruction, including crossbows, bows, swords, and even laser guns. Moreover, you can use special powers, such as shield, kamikaze, or ninja. The game features a top-down perspective and minimalistic visuals.

Game Ratings for Knight Squad Video Game.
Pure Nintendo: 7.5 / 10 by Kirk Hiner
As far as party games go, Knight Squad has more going for it than you'd expect at first glance. It's accessible, it's frenetic, and it's fun. The lack of online multiplayer and a worthwhile single-player mode will be easily overlooked when you've got your personal squad of knights seeking battle in your living room.

Knight Squad can become nail-bitingly tense at times, but it doesn't dampen the fun
Nindie Spotlight: 8 / 10 by Justin Nation
I’ll just put it right out there, while I love the spirit of the movement to bring back local co-op games and the part the Switch has to play in it reviewing the average title in the space can be brutal...
