As someone with the worlds smallest bladder, life can be a whole lot of fun!
Car trips are full of stops that nobody else wants.
And when playing video games, theres a lot of pausing and unpausing for the above explained reasons.
Yes, the game is called Knights In Tight Spaces.
Dont worry, the name makes sense in context.
Although, to be fair, it also sounds like the title of a high-budget, fantasy-themed adult movie.
This is also a game I want and Im willing to put up my own money to fund it.
Knights In Tights Spaces Makes Tactics Matter More
You probably want actual information rather than ongoing vamping.
Knights In Tight Spaces is the quasi-sequel toFights In Tight Spaces.
I know thats the way everyone describes it, but thats what it is!
Fantasy + Deck building + Stylishly beating the stuffing out of people.
But having to do all of this in tiny closet-sized levels makes it far harder.
All I wanted to do was kick a witch off the side.
Theres a lot of grappling and turning and moving and knocking down.
I have built all the decks.
No more decks'.
And Im with you.
There are a lot of deck builders out there.
It feels like the indie generation of Metroidvanias died so the new indie generation of deck builders could live.
Even if youre tired of building those decks, these decks?
Every part feels fun rather thanattemptingto be fun by copying something more successful.
Rather than starting with a grind and talking down to you, the tutorialitselfis compelling.
Part of what makes it all click so well is the personality.
Fights In Tight Spaces was amazing, but it didnt really have a lot of pizzazz.
And that works for a John Wick-like game.
A cold-hearted assassin game works in a cold-hearted environment.
Super Hot did it!
But Knights In Tight Spaces adds just a little bit of extra flavor with their fantasy environment.
Instead, the game keeps a wry sense of humor and sticks close to the ground with each run.
Importantly, these conversations are almost always just a justification to get you to the next battle.
And God is it good.
Its so, so, so, so great.
Maybe its because the battles are so brief and so refined that it almost caused a medical emergency.
Despite requiring a lot of thought and strategy, you could move from fight to fight pretty quickly.
You analyze, you move, you fight, you react, and you go all over again.
This slows down the battle, but makes it more manageable.
On the flip side, you often get a massive bonus for finishing in a smaller number of turns.
Knights In Tight Spaces is what Id call a ‘pure’ video game.
It does exactly what it intends to do and it does it very, very, very well.
You want a good time?
Youre looking for a little enjoyment?
I didnt want to stop playing it.
Hell, I didnt even expect to write a column this week on the game.
I had to drag myself away to write this and now I know Im going to drag myself back.
