Professional reviews from gaming critics
A fun, solid sidescrolling shooter. There's not a lot wrong with it, and I managed to have some good fun.
A beautiful retro game with a great concept. However, there are a variety of hurdles along the way that keep it from being as good as it should have been.
As one of the most defining genres in gaming, you'd think that it's all been done before when it comes to shmups. Gryphon Knight Epic plays as you would expect yet a few twists allow it to stand out. Saddle up your gryphon, let's go for a ride!
Gryphon Knight Epic is a game that caters well to its niche audience, which is undoubtedly comprised of those benevolent shmup obsessed souls that funded the Kickstarter campaign. Truly, it is a game that is fiendishly challenging for those that side scroll through life, and frustratingly unfair for your average Joe. Much like its setting, Gryphon Knight Epic proves to be somewhat of an anachronism in the world of modern games.
Hit or miss gameplay and questionable mechanics lead to a mediocre experience.
