The Seven Deadly Sins: Knights of Britannia Reviews
Surely a game that's looking over at it's anime stablemate green with envy, Knights of Britannia commits the sin of sloth, and ultimately lacks pride.
It's sad when a video game title based on an anime/manga series is unable to capture the magic and fluidity fans of said series rightfully expect. Unfortunately, The Seven Deadly Sins: Knights of Britannia manages to disappoint in just about every category and fails at capturing just about anything that makes the series memorable. If you've been itching to have a go at this game, I'd recommend that you just wait for a price drop. Unfortunately, I can't say that The Seven Deadly Sins: Knights of Britannia will be as fondly remembered as many of the older anime games that came before it.
A failed attempt to reprise the anime's success with a game that never gets too interesting on its gameplay or its narrative. A missed opportunity to make another a great anime adaptation to videogame

It's hard to recommend The Seven Deadly Sins: Knights of Britannia to anyone but the most hardcore fans of the original series. Even then, though, I feel like a true fan would end their time with this game wishing they could have bought something better. A truncated story mode makes it impossible for newcomers to engage with any of the plot, and what little content that remains will only infuriate existing fans. It would be nice to be able to jump into Duel Mode and bypass Adventure Mode entirely, but when practically the entire cast needs to be unlocked, that really isn't an option. Long-time fans of Seven Deadly Sins might find some joy in seeing their favourite characters make the jump to a big, 3D action game, but that alone is hardly worth suffering through the rest of what this poor package has to offer.
There's a tease of depth in the fights, and I even managed to have quite a bit of fun when things fell into place. Too often, however, it felt like accidental fun. Like I wanted to enjoy what I was playing so much, I stumbled into a good time.
The Seven Deadly Sins: Knights Of Britannia is a game that will please the anime fans thanks to its wonderful combats and a complete story mode. However, this is not a game for those how are not fond of animation, since it is its best feature.

After being such a fan of the anime, I really wanted to fall in love with The Seven Deadly Sins: Knights of Britannia. I was really hoping to see the same treatment given to Naruto or Attack on Titan, where the game really brings to life the anime in a fun, challenging, and engaging way. What was released sadly, was a game with some interesting ideas that failed to fully deliver on any of them. The game isn't terrible by any means, with some fans of the show sure to enjoy reliving Elizabeth's quest, but there is too much wasted potential here. If you don't mind the obvious lack of depth here, you can have some fun playing the game, just don't expect that fun to last.
The controls are relatively simple, the combo, parry, and evade are easy enough to execute and the missions have a good difficulty curve…
Unfortunately The Seven Deadly Sins: Knights of Britannia just doesn't do justice to the series at all. There are a few hours of fun to be had here, certainly, but even dedicated fans will find that it doesn't last long enough. Repetitive battles and shallow combat just don't keep things interesting for long enough, even if there are several characters to use. Add a point to the score if you're a fan, remove one if you don't know what SDS is.
The Seven Deadly Sins: Knights of Britannia is a game with an interesting idea and unfortunate incarnation.The characters and the fights are made well, but the same type of tasks and poorly submitted story make single-player mode a useless experience, and multiplayer is just boring.

Short, dull, and technically weak, The Seven Deadly Sins: Knights of Britannia is a mediocre game, that will probably be appreciated only by the younger and more hardcore fans of the saga created by Nakaba Suzuki.

With such stellar source material, it's a real shame that The Seven Deadly Sins: Knights of Britannia is so disappointing. What could have been an exciting, funny, and rich game has turned out to be a dull experience, offering nothing to players but repetition with little challenge.
It's a shame that Seven Deadly Sins first forte into videogames couldn't have been better. As a big fan I enjoyed the Knights of Britannia for what it is but most will find it mediocre at best.
Nothing to see here. You'll be better off playing some more Dragon Ball FighterZ or watching the anime on Netflix.

The Seven Deadly Sins: Knights of Britannia has many mistakes that can hinder your gaming experience. Thanks to its various mechanics and the detail of the destruction of the stage, as well as the variety of characters, this title make the path less heavy while we look for other sins.

A colorful fighting game that feeds off a popular anime. Only for the biggest fans, the rest shouldn't waste their time nor money.

Even with an IP as interesting as The Seven Deadly Sins, The Seven Deadly Sins: Knights of Britannia is held back by buggy controls and even more buggy mechanics.
An exceptionally average anime adaptation, this arena brawler doesn’t do enough to hold the attention of its intended audience
The Seven Deadly Sins: Knights of Britannia is a wasted opportunity. Battles are repetitive and the roster is unbalanced. Also, the grapichs reminds of a PS3 game.

Seven Deadly Sins: Knights of Britannia seems try and offer a little something for everyone — which is both the game's selling point and downfall. Though it is accessible and enjoyable for many, it means everything that makes the anime so enjoyable is being spread too thin. It needs to be more focused, less complicated, and the good aspects need to be made great.
