Knytt Underground is a two-dimensional platformer produced by Nifflas Games. The game is mainly about exploring the world and fighting enemies. Each map is huge and largely open. The gameplay is enriched by logical elements.

Mi Sprocket is a sprite who develops special powers as she embarks upon a quest to ring the six bells of fate; which if not rung every six hundred years will begin a chain reaction that will obliterate the world! There’s one small detail though; the odds are it’s just a superstitious nonsense and the world isn’t really ending...

Knytt Underground is a 2D platform game featuring a quirky story and a huge world to explore.

Nintendo Enthusiast: 7.5 / 10 by Jonathan Harrington

If I were to describe Knytt Underground in one word, it would be \"contradictory.\" In some ways, it\'s everything I could hope for in a metroidvania-style game: it\'s beautiful, intuitive, clever, and most importantly, fun. For large portions of the game, you are pulled into an almost dreamlike state, exploring the massive world and marveling at the eerie ambiance. It\'s then that the game truly shines. But then, it turns around to have horribly unfitting dialogue and characters that pull you out of the experience that the developers work so hard to involve you in while the game simultaneously grows more and more tedious.

Nintendo Life: 7 / 10 by Thomas Whitehead

If you're game for the challenge in both gameplay and simply understanding what Knytt Underground is trying to achieve, then dive in.

Worth Playing: 8 / 10 by Brian Dumlao

Knytt Underground is for gamers who value exploration over combat. It is for those who enjoy small bouts of platforming and platforming puzzles that don't involve too many switches. It isn't for those who enjoy profound messages or meaning in their games. Unless you need to take out your aggression on digital foes while conquering seemingly impossible platforming obstacles, I'd recommend Knytt Underground.
