@@SnipahBarret50Cal There's Blackjack AND hookers in there. Sting said they were gonna make their own fire emblem, with Black Jack, and Hookers, and then they forgot most of the fire emblem. It sounds glorious but I haven't experienced it myself so I can't say for certain.
I remember I was in the waiting room for a doctor's appointment. I had this game on the PSP and I decided to play it for the first time. I couldn't get past the tutorial, I didn't understand how it fucking worked. Never in my life have I ever had that much trouble understanding a game's basic mechanics. Like, maybe if I got back to it now I might get it, but the way the game explained it made no sense to me and I couldn't figure it out after like, 20 or so minutes. Maybe I am just a fucking idiot, but I'd like to think the game just made it needlessly complicated and then did a terrible job of explaining itself.
I miss when sting was making off-beat stuff like this. The entire Dept. Heaven series is weird but this one was the most batshit obtuse thing ever and it's memorable for it.
*Development history of Knights In The Nightmare*: An employee at Sting: I just got punched in the nuts... Head developer at Sting: LET'S MAKE THAT INTO A GAME!
The basic gameplay of planning each move, managing stamina, and weapon durability is great. The overarching obtuse _insanity_ of needing to trash bushes and barrels collect items to recruit characters, fusing the right characters together, of everything having long-term consequences and making the game a stressful mess to play not as much.
This game is a great example of a game with a Dark souls tone, that was before Demon Souls. If this game came out today you know people would be calling it Dark souls bullet hell strategy tick tack toe.
@@kosmosXcannon "The Soul series is fair and straight forward" no they aren't lol, this is so wrong. The reason the Souls series is so beloved is because of the fact that they aren't fair (to the point that its difficulty has become a meme) and that it isn't as straightforward as most games are.
@@BirdieImagineeBCH dark souls literally just requires a little bit of reading comprehension. Sure, Res is a meme for a resistance, but literally not handing you the story on a silver platter is not difficult. As for combat, time and time again, people have proven that almost anyone can beat dark souls, you need patience and the willingness to learn.
This game is one I really liked, but it’s a game that plays like how our parents think all video games play. I agree that it’s very cryptic and sometimes too much to take in but all in all I actually really enjoyed it! I played it in 8th grade and never finished it but this video makes me wanna play it again!
Thank you for bringing to light the glory of Sting's Heaven Dept games. I'm actually mega sad that no devs seem to have as big of an innovative balls as they do today.
Last thing I was expecting when I came here was for a video game review of a game that I've never played before to make me so emotional. Thanks as always KBash.
I didn't use a walkthrough, but I did the tutorials and was able to get by ok. In fact, I wrote a large portion of a strategy walkthrough for this on GameFAQs way back in 2007. I'll have to go look it up again.
@@soldancer yup, in my opinion, this is the best game on NDS. There's so much shit going on and you have to keep thinking on every steps of the battle.
so did more people want to make deferent games and the studio was just like: yeah... we don't got budget for that. here, why don't you just combine all those ideas?
Well in Total War Warhammer, one of the most common tactics is using your heroes as ranged units bait, so it became a bullet hell inside of a real time armies battle most of the time.
@@hernandogaribaldi8627 Yeah but that's not the same. You just run in ovals and there's lag on how fast you turn and the projectiles are slow. It's only any fun when the opponent has magic homing ammo.
I'm surprised more people have not played it... This is such a crazy game, from the way it tells the story to the battle mechanics, all with beautiful Tobe artwork.
I did actually play this game at release. It's hard, sure, but more than anything there's just so many mechanics going on at the same time that it's overwhelming. I think I did beat it in the end but it's difficult to remember the story because they game gives you no time to breathe during each map.
As someone with a heavy interest in game design, the title definitely isn't false advertising. It truly is a nightmare. *How the hell are you supposed to keep track of all of this stuff happening all at once?! WHO APPROVED THIS?!?!*
I remember seeing this game at gamestop when I was like 12 and I bought it because the cover looked cool, I never made it past the tutorial I still have it.
Absolutely LUDICROUS! I remember giving up on this game after 4 hours the year it came out, thought it was nutty, but had *no* idea it got that insane. Epic video!
Holy crap, I thought this game was just a fever dream I had in college. It REALLY exists and someone KINDA understands it. I didn't think it was possible.
no man, thank you for the explanation, I´ve would never guessed in my wildest dreams to understand what knights in the nightmare was all about. But you helped me, So I gladly like and suscribe to your video and channel.
Thanks for talking about a game that I feel is truly underrated. Like you, I was exhausted by the end but the journey there along with the story twists and turns (the story was DARK) was very memorable.
Something I didn't notice. When a new chapter in Knights In The Nightmare begins. There is some text first appearing before the title card of said chapter is shown next. Comics like Watchmen. Use a bit of text at the end of the chapters in the comic mini series.
I played this game during the 2020 pandemic. Given that the game has a tone that is dark, serious went it needs to be. And a bit of humor without feel meta jab or distracting.
I remember giving up on this game the first time I played it on psp. I've tried again over the years, and every single time I give up before I even begin.
A comment for the algorithm Your reviews on the Dept. Heaven series made me love these games! So freaking unique and interesting. And your thumbnail on both Yggdra Union and these are soooooooo good!
WHY are you not JohnTron levels of famous? You deserve the recommended page. (Found you cause I like GBA games, and your Final Fantasy Tactics review came up. You're very good.)
I found my DS copy today, and I booted it up out of curiosity. Somehow I beat this game in 2009 with the best ending, and maxed out a ton of knights and put 84 total hours into the game. Time for another playthrough all these years later?
Same company but harder because there is more fast-actions in the battle, unlike Yggdra where just matter of going off-def and activating the card. This game is on PSP and NDS (original)
Thanks for making this series, Kbash! I never got the good ending, but now I really want to go back and play this all again. After Dept. Heaven, you might enjoy some of the Atlus/Success games. Idk if they shared any kind of creative staff, but Rondo of Swords at the very least reminds me most of this wonderfully weird era of Sting games.
Been waiting for this video it turned out great. I remember buying it for one system playing it and being like I I can't do this like just too hard I'll come back to it and I picked it up for the other system the second time around being all I'll definitely do it this time. One of the most interesting games I've never beaten and have a zero desire to actually try beating but getting to watch you to it was satisfying!
13:35 Actually there is a ingame way to figure this out. The first normal way is to beat the game during the red path Unlock the blue path and finish both paths regulary. During your blue run the arch angel will show you step by step how she managed to find her staff for the final battle. Now repeat her step in the red path and your good to go! The second methode is to do it like me.. getting hit by almost every single enemy in the game and use the "blind/confused" ailment of the flying eyeballs to turn the battle map black and white. All invisible object keep their colors and it becomes quite easy to find every single invisible object on your current map. xD (Even though back than.. I didn't quite knew what to do with this weird object..) (So i just ignored it and noticed that Maria was looking at said spot while feeling some bad energy or something? They really only give you slight hints at most..)
The thing is I find myself disagreeing with Kbash a lot but I gotta respect anyone who puts this much effort into his craft. Beating Knights is no small feet. This shots for you Bash. -Holiday drinking intensifies-
I’ll always remember preordering this game and getting the most beautiful art book. I’m obsessed with this company and team but gosh I could never get that far. Some of us can do bullet hell and I guess some of us are dead.
I played this game in high school (yes, I finished) and loved it. I remember interpreting all that stuff about "history repeating" as a wink-nod to the player about how they'll likely just re start the game as soon as it's over, even without a concrete promise of multiple endings.
I bought this game maybe 10 years after it was released in a used game store in Japan. If you think it's confusing on its own, try playing it in a language you can't even read, lol
Greetings from FrameRater's Server glad to see someone covered this, I have to cover this series for PSPMan and had literally noooo idea what to expect lmao Now that I know its brutal as fuck I'll save it for later seasons
My brother surprised me with this game on PSP one and I was so hyped. Then I played and had no idea what I was doing. This actually helped me grasp what I should have been doing haha.
Nice, I play this game long long ago and loved it. This company used to make many games like Riviera, Yggdra Union, Blaze Union, Knights in the nightmare, just to name a few, I like them. BTW You can actually use weapons to heal your knights.
14:00 I played the ds version of this game, got the bad ending and I thought what I did wrong. When I found out the bs that the developers wanted I gave up of replaying this game to get the other ending.
Blast from the past! Played this on the DS and can say that the menu is more managable when you can scroll through it with the stylus and dodging is probably MUCH easier; though I don't know the PSP controls. But it can't be fun. Loved the review of an old favorite!
I remember trying to play this when i was a lot younger and having no idea what to do. I was stuck on a werewolf looking boss i think, and I ended up just giving up after that.
Good on you KBash to finish this game. I couldn't. The bullet hell got to me, and I had to put it down. Every once in a while I will pick it up and try my luck and, but I always end up quitting after several hundred "how am I suppose to dodge that?!?!!"
Man, I remeber playing this game when it came out, I was absolutely confused about the history and the mechanics, but it was adicting so I kept playing. I didn't even knew there was a good/bad ending, but I do remember something that you didn't talked about. I remember that after I beated the game I would control Melissa instead of Maria. I don't remember if this changed anything in the history, but I do remember controlling her and that her attacks where different from Maria. Don't the game has some sort of new game +?
I know this video is old now but just wanted to thank you for making it. I come back to your video every time I pick the game up again and it makes me laugh so hard. Everything you say is so true. It's the best worst, worst best game ever. :)
You must actually be Dept Heaven's chosen one. I started this game over twice when it came out and I dont think I ever made it a quarter of the way through it. I dont think is was the difficulty that stopped me either, It was just kind of over whelming? I'd like to go back and beat it. Nice work!
My favorite segment was “How do you dodge that” I’d love to see you review undertale just saw the segment (granted it would be much shorter) could return
So this is Isn't going to make any sense, BUT THIS IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE GAMES!!! ONE CLOSE TO MY HEART! Now the part that is not going to make any sense! I NEVER BEAT THE GAME AND I COULDN'T GET PASSED THE FIRST LEVEL!!!!! Now you all might be wondering WHY This is one of my favorite games even though i never got to experience too much of it and never beat it! So I just love the characters, they'er personalities and they'er designs! I also love the story too! It is a bit sad for me but i still love it! I remember playing this on my psp as a kid. Even though I could never get past the first level, I still had fun and fond memories of it! This is my favorite game!
This review is everything I expected and more. Thanks for torturing yourself with this and I'm glad you liked parts of it and proving that you're a masochist of the highest level. Just like me.
I loved Yggdra union, so when i heard about this i was looking forward to it.. but then i heard about the difficulty. might pick it up if i find it sometime tho. i like that the complexity reflects on the story as well.

"How do you dodge that!?"
The mantra of every bullet hell player
Love this game. The feeling of defeating a boss while your team yells "BREAKTHROUGH! WE WON!" while cheering always felt incredible.

@@scarletrose8766 I understand and aware of that series. I play it regularly among other danmaku games. But a tactical bullet hell it is not.
I like Bullet Heaven. Not really as complex as this, but you can play with multiple characters using different shots, skills and perks
You don't have to scroll through the menu a lot, you can press square to sort by category. See you in Gungnir.
I don’t know if he intentionally went out of his way to make the game seem harder and weirder than it is.

White Knight Chronicles 1 or 2?

*Sonic and the Black Knight?*
Fancy .Fancington witch and the 100 knights is a good one

I couldn't stop laughing at the "How do you dodge that" part. XD I just couldn't handle it.
I was just trying to play this a few weeks ago after watching your other stuff on Sting. Love your content! Especially into stuff like this.
As someone with a heavy interest in game design, the title definitely isn't false advertising. It truly is a nightmare.
*How the hell are you supposed to keep track of all of this stuff happening all at once?! WHO APPROVED THIS?!?!*
This is why the game industry is failing.
Gamers want cool abd crazy stuff and designers are like "erm that's bad design here's your generic rpg"
Kbash: **screaming to a camera about how hard and batshit insane the game is**
Me: "So... do you recommend it?"
It hurt him and gave him a sense of genuine fulfillment...is that your thing? If so get it.
I have the game and totally reccommend it. It will be confusing at first but later it gets better
When undertale was just copy pasting ideas from older games and hear we are bullet hell in a rpg XD
I mean....yeah, I admit I was surprised someone else did it first. I really thought the closest was the Mario and Luigi series.

Hard truths: Undertale ripped the gameplay off this game and casualized it.
Casualizing this game is a good thing
Ah the nostalgia. Never saw the tutorial I struggled until I figured out how to play then I was so happy when I beat it, actually shed a few tears.

fire emblem
huh
You're right. Huh.
Would you look at that. Huh.
Huh
Wow, they really did make their own Fire Emblem with blackjack and hookers.
「Scary Monsters REQUIEM」
Those appear in the Dept. Heaven games since Riviera along with Ice Emblems, Holy Emblems etc.
I only played this game on DS. I would imagine that moving the wisp is really hard with the PSP version.
Not really, in fact easier since the screen is bigger.
Nope it’s easier
Oh boy oh boy! We are in for a treat!
This is the first time I've ever thrown a controller in a fit of pure rage over a game I've never played. Well done!

One of the most interesting games I've never beaten and have a zero desire to actually try beating but getting to watch you to it was satisfying!
Sting:we love menus. Lots and lots of menus.
Seriously, no game needs this many menus and damn, Knights in the nightmare is very dispressing and sad.
At the end game, I think every knight that you still have got revied by Maria, so good ending?
To bad I can't revived dragon princess
13:35 Actually there is a ingame way to figure this out.
The first normal way is to beat the game during the red path
Unlock the blue path and finish both paths regulary. During
your blue run the arch angel will show you step by step
how she managed to find her staff for the final battle.
Now repeat her step in the red path and your good to go!
The second methode is to do it like me.. getting hit by almost
every single enemy in the game and use the "blind/confused"
ailment of the flying eyeballs to turn the battle map black and white.
All invisible object keep their colors and it becomes quite easy to find
every single invisible object on your current map. xD
(Even though back than.. I didn't quite knew what to do with this weird object..)

I loved this game so much, even though it was confusing as hell and I had to quit and restart a few times.
Damn, I miss Sting so much...
I know this video is old now but just wanted to thank you for making it. I come back to your video every time I pick the game up again and it makes me laugh so hard. Everything you say is so true. It's the best worst, worst best game ever. :)
You must actually be Dept Heaven's chosen one. I started this game over twice when it came out and I dont think I ever made it a quarter of the way through it. I dont think is was the difficulty that stopped me either, It was just kind of over whelming? I'd like to go back and beat it. Nice work!
legit thought the moment at 2:00 was a mistake but I eventually got it. well played.
Damn this game looks ridiculous lmao permadeath with characters constantly damaging themselves
Yo! I love this game! Awesome that you picked it up Kbash!
I really love this game, It's so convoluted that the joy I get by beating even a single chapter is immensurable. I may have issues.
My favorite segment was “How do you dodge that”
I’d love to see you review undertale just saw the segment (granted it would be much shorter) could return
Nice video , I remember playing this game when I was a kid
I gotta say, the way you described the ending reminded me of the first time I beat Wizard of Legend. Almost shed a tear when I walked through it...
I'm so happy to see somebody remembering these games exist!
You got a sub

So this is Isn't going to make any sense, BUT THIS IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE GAMES!!! ONE CLOSE TO MY HEART! Now the part that is not going to make any sense! I NEVER BEAT THE GAME AND I COULDN'T GET PASSED THE FIRST LEVEL!!!!! Now you all might be wondering WHY This is one of my favorite games even though i never got to experience too much of it and never beat it! So I just love the characters, they'er personalities and they'er designs! I also love the story too! It is a bit sad for me but i still love it! I remember playing this on my psp as a kid.
Even though I could never get past the first level, I still had fun and fond memories of it! This is my favorite game!
This review is everything I expected and more.
Thanks for torturing yourself with this and I'm glad you liked parts of it and proving that you're a masochist of the highest level.
Just like me.
Just bought this brand new at my local gamestore with the soundtrack included! Wish me luck ^~^
Dude you sound like you're having an BLAST with your reviews. I like that. I never beat this game.
I loved Yggdra union, so when i heard about this i was looking forward to it.. but then i heard about the difficulty. might pick it up if i find it sometime tho. i like that the complexity reflects on the story as well.
I appreciate you playing this for us man HAHAHA
