## Reception

In December 2003, print computer magazine Amiga Point of View reviewed Knights, giving five out of five points. Apart from the lack of a meaningful single player mode, two player gave a unique gameplay experience: "If any other convincing is necessary that this is one of those multiplayer games to play with friends while drinking beer, then consider this; how many other Amiga games let you bash through a door with an axe in a "Here's Johnny!" style just before you bury the axe in your opponent's skull?"[4] The game was also listed on position 10 of a Top 20 Amiga Shareware game list,[1] the Amiga Game Database noted the game for the fun provided.[5]
