While this does make for short and fun rounds, when you are unable to turn off the bot players, it can feel pretty unfair and leave you cleaning up the rest after taking out your friends, or sitting and watching a match of bots play out because you and your friends went down early. Perhaps the most frustrating element is that no matter what mode you are in, everyone dies in one hit. ![]() Maybe this is for the sports betters among us? I don’t speak for everyone, but most people would either like to play a game or watch someone they like play a game, not just watch bots.

In fact, the game can play itself! There is an entire mode option on the main menu that is dedicated to just having the bots of the game play a versus match for your decided upon time.

Most of them are some sort of a last-man-standing death battle with a variety of different twists to keep things fun and fresh while you’re playing. ![]() There’s a lot of different modes to play in. I’m sad to say that was not entirely the case here, even though the game really is trying. That’s why I was excited to snap up Knight Squad, in the hopes that I might have found some sort of hidden gem for my collection of games like this. The ability to turn one controller into two has been perhaps the biggest boon in the favor of the Switch for these types of games, which makes it very easy for me to get people on board with playing them, even if they are not normally huge gamers in the first place.
