Critic Reviews
Wind-up Knight 2 is a noble effort with a lovely, whimsical look and tight, reactive gameplay. While it can sink into feelings of repetitiveness at times, there are other moments when stages really click and a grand romp can be had. Fans of runners who don't mind the occasional "gotcha" trap or difficulty spike may very well enjoy this one - most likely in short bursts. Remember: New 3DS only, but if you don't own one the Wii U option is always there.
Tim Latshaw · Oct 01, 2016 Reviewed on 3DSRead full reviewDespite that potential and the occasional glimpse of imagination, Wind-up Knight 2 ultimately winds down to a sputter, never truly exploring its interesting mechanics beyond the usual endless runner grind via pounding assault. Those who love a reflex test may enjoy its particular tortures, but players looking to be rescued by an interesting twist on the genre will have to wait for a different knight in shining armor.
Patrick Murphy · Aug 01, 2016 Reviewed on 3DSRead full reviewIf you enjoy twitch reflex games, then WUK 2 is for you. While the game lacks depth, what's there is done well. Almost like playing a song or interacting with other members in a band, the ebb and flow of having to quickly nail different button presses feels pleasingly elegant in some ways, and completing a challenge gives you a real feeling of accomplishment. Unfortunately, the lack of stage variety coupled with occasionally mundane gameplay and cheap deaths knock this back a little; it's certainly worth considering, nonetheless.
Jonathan Bee · Aug 19, 2015 Reviewed on Wii URead full reviewOn the other hand, we would have liked to see more playable characters and more emphasis on storyline, if it's not asking too much. Anyway, no surprises here, Wind-up Knight 2 has come back to claim its throne, and even though it's still March, here we have a steady candidate for the game of the year.
Peter Warrior · May 06, 2014 Reviewed on AndWind-up Knight shows that even wound-up armor can come correct. It also shows sequels can live up to the hype.
Tre Lawrence · Apr 22, 2014 Reviewed on AndThere's something here for a wide range of skill levels, and it easily bests the first game in overall design and execution. I'm not sure if I'd call this the best platformer on iOS hands-down, but it's certainly on the short list, and if that's not worth throwing down a few bucks for, I don't know what is.
Shaun Musgrave · Apr 21, 2014 Reviewed on iOSRead full reviewNevertheless, the quality of Wind-up Knight 2 warrants its $4 price tag. Without paying this price, Wind-up Knight 2 cuts you off just when its levels were starting to become very intense, which leads to an underwhelming cutoff point for those unwilling to pay for its premium content.
Jon Ledford · Apr 16, 2014 Reviewed on iOSRead full reviewReally, the intelligence behind Wind-Up Knight 2 is the thing that leaves me so satisfied: it's a challenging game, but it's one that doesn't feel frustrating because the intelligence behind everything shines through. I highly recommend it.
Carter Dotson · Apr 10, 2014 Reviewed on iOSRead full reviewWind-Up Knight 2 is well above the competition of temple runners, but it doesn't pack the weight of a more standardised release. Even with the 32 stages and the surprising amount of variety in stage design, there just isn't all that much to be squeezed out of the genre, although Robot Invader does a thorough job of wringing from simplistic gameplay as much as possible.
Brodie Baker · Aug 13, 2015 Reviewed on Wii URead full reviewSo Wind-up Knight 2 is stylish, plays well, and has plenty of variety in its challenges and side quests. But there's always a troubling feeling while you're playing that you've paid full whack for a game that, while very good, still has a few imperfections, and still costs significantly more than the competition.
