    Typically, when we think of 2D shooters, it's either the old-school games like Life Force, modern-era bullet-hells such as Dodonpachi SaiDaiOuJou, or Ikaruga (because everyone knows Ikaruga). If nothing else, this is a genre open to interpretation. Not every shmup needs to have hundreds of millions of bullets on-screen, nor do they require deep and somewhat obtuse scoring systems. Sometimes it's a good idea to take the basic concept and move it in a different direction. When this classic genre…

    This game was reviewed with a key from the developer Gameplay Footage and Video Review: https://youtu.be/BWnF1l0CHDM Summary: A good, but not great shoot em up. The game takes some inspiration from Mega Man, and it shows with the focus on secondary weapons and changing it up for the situation. Between that and the enemy variety + combinations, you've got a good strong core element in Gryphon Knight Epic, that complements it's charming aesthetic and reasonable story line. But there are…

    Game has a similar style to Metal Slug and is great for fans of the sidescrolling shooter genre. I thought the "turning" mechanic was very unique (turn your gryphon backwards to shoot other way). The game consists of 6 stages/bosses and one final area/boss along with upgrades and secrets to find along the way. I beat the main story in about 6 hours, but if you want to grind out 100% achievements, I figure you will get double that playtime out of this game. This game is well worth it full price…

    Entertaining side scrolling shooter game! Has a neat art style and soundtrack that ties the game together nicely. Variety of difficulties and challenging stages. Lots of hidden upgrades and various secret areas. It felt a little floaty at times but not too bad. If you enjoy shoot em up games you will probably like this one too!

    When contra meets megaman, gryphon knight happens. Pros - Secrets, lots of them. - A wide selection of weapons to suit your shooting needs, each suiting one different playstyle. - 3 Difficult levels that match what a person wants. - Meaningful achievements(it actually feels like a real achievement to get hit 0 times on epic stages, those are tough!) Cons - The hitbox for some of the projectiles seems a bit weird, but nothing game breaking. - Short playtime, its fun, but its short, having 2…

    Full disclosure: I am a friend of the developers and a backer of this project on KS. That said, my opinion of the game would have been the same regardless. GKE stands alongside the best shmups I have played. I am a fan of the genre from the days of 1942, R-Type, Raiden and, more recently, the excellent Ikaruga. GKE's medieval setting is a welcome detour from the typical themes of the genre, and fits the game extremely well. Gameplay is everything you would expect from a modern shmup with a…

    Overall, a nice side-scrolling shooter. The controls and movement are a little awkward and take some time to get used to. There are three difficulty levels which offer a nice increase in challenge and reward. The game is not grindy, but can be if you want to by continually retrying levels to earn more coins or chase the leaderboard charts.

    One of rare 2D Medieval Action-Shooter games mixed with elements of exploration and duel-like boss battles. Being a huge fan of old Genesis/NES games along with Contra, Megaman, Aladdin and Metal Slug this brings back nostalgy so hard that keeps me playing continuously. Lately very often we get release which is supposed to get those effects on players with retro-arcade style and Gryphon Knight Epic is definitely one of them with a bit more of something. You are taking role of Sir Oliver who…

    A very fun and polished game. I like it as a gentler introduction to the shmup genre, with super cool exploration and RPG elements mixed in! For this price it is an absolute steal, as it is packed with content, bosses, secrets to find and really cool-looking stages!

    Gryphon Knight Epic is a great game which is the combination of Megaman + Gradius in a classic RPG fantasy/medieval world. The thing that most impressed me in this game is that every stage is an unique experience, since they don't repeat enemies and every minion and boss has a different behavior pattern that you'll learn through the game! The boss battles can be pretty fun when you discover the best weapon and strategy to beat them. The game can be pretty easy if you decide to farm a lot and…

    Just went through my first playthrough. (Knight difficulty) Wow. Holy poop. What a game. First, there is no shortage of shmups in indie gaming. From your arcade classic Raiden clones, to your side-scrollers that are influenced by Steel Empire - you can't type the word "indie shooter" in the search bar on Steam and not find at least a few dozen decent games that can satisfy that itch for a few bucks and a few hours. It takes something special for a game to stand out on it's own in that genre.…

    Este jogo é fantástico! Sempre adorei o gênero the shoot'em all e este aqui superou minhas expectativas. Alguns chefões exigem queimar um pouco o cérebro pra entender a mecânica para vencê-los, mas a cabeça tem que servir pra algo de vez em quando, não? Recomendo pra todos que querem um jogo leve e divertido sem ser fácil demais.

    This is one of the most fun schmups I have ever had the pleasure of playing. As you can tell by the trailer, this is a schmup where you play as a knight, riding on a gryphon and shooting everything that moves. What you might not see is all the cool adventure/rpg mechanics that are built into it. Each level has branching paths, hidden items, and upgradeaple weapons/runes. As you kill enemies you collect gold and you can use this gold in the shops to buy potions, sidekicks that help in…

    With hitbox resizing, the ability to move in one direction while shooting in another, and some difficulty adjustments, Gryphon Knight Epic could be an okay game. As it stands, it's a messy medieval hodgepodge that you'd be better off avoiding at all costs. Save yourself some money by instead buying some feathers and a fake beak and putting them on your dog.

    Every now and then a game comes along that tugs at your retro-gaming bones with simple sprites, easy controls and basic mechanics. Gryphon Knight Epic is one of those games, but do not let that be a disservice because at its heart the game is pure and enjoyable and priced perfectly. You play the role of the Knight and his trusty steed, the Gryphon who for all intents and purpose are one in the same as you venture forth together on your epic tale of good deeds and adventure all wrapped up in a…

It is not as difficult as some of your other shooters, but is has a decent story, and fun mechanics, and plenty of secrets and alternate paths.

Those who love and missed the genre will have plenty to work with and the new players of the genre will get to know it by a very pleasant experience.

    Well. I've seen enough (and I know it isn't much). This game is just too slow to satisfy me. Slow scrolling. Slow shooting. Slow enemy projectiles. Slow movement. Slow story. I will say though, it does have beautiful sprite art, somewhat reminiscent of the Sega Saturn era. Very large and detailed sprites with nice animation. I just could not stand the slow crawl of this gameplay though. It's a side-scrolling shooter. I am supposed to feel adrenaline, not boredom.

But for a TLDW(TooLongDidn'tWatch) it's a: Very Challenging Shoot Em Up that looks like Metal Slug with a Megaman style game route. If do pick up this game, I highly suggest finding the Dash Rune.

CONS: - the controls feels off, not that responsive or satisfying - there are several bugs and crashes, and loading menus and levels is slow - running the game in full screen as opposed to window is buggy PROS: + nice aesthetics + some variety in bosses, secrets (though really obvious), potions & minions

    Gryphon Knight Epic is a "Medieval Shmup", otherwise known as: the main weapon is a crossbow, which results in weak hitsounds and makes the gameplay feel unsatisfying. Medieval Shmup is a bit shorter though. The game isn't that long, which is good in this case, the final section is just like in the Megaman games. Making you fight all bosses in a row before getting to the final one, if you die to any of them you have to fight all of them over again. The graphics aren't great, looking at the…

The story mode, where the biggest part of the fun lies, presents several obstacles: Different stages, giant boss battles, charismatic characters to duel with. Add a few touches, like unlockables and leaderboards, and it allows for some replayability even past that. If you miss Contra or Mega Man, and you enjoy facing danger head first,…

    Gryphon Knight Epic is a badly made console ported 2D retro pixel side scrolling shoot 'em up with a medieval fantasy skin on it, and remarkably weak arcade gameplay, resulting in something that has absolutely no value whatsoever for gamers.

    Nice but slow paced with not auto fire, shoot'em up. At least it start like that and that is enough to critic. You will spend your time pressing a button to fire slow bullets and not feeling any impact nor satisfaction while destroying your targets. It is so slow that you have the time to press fire button much more times than bullets can be fired. I played 10mn then fired the game from my disk. That was quick. And not recommended.

    WARNING: Do NOT buy this version of this game! Check out the Definitive Edition here instead: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1364430/Gryphon_Knight_Epic_Definitive_Edition/ Also, the full price of this first version of Gryphon Knight Epic should be permanently reduced at least by half, since it makes no sense for it to have the same price as the Definitive Edition.
