Knighthood
Become an epic knight
In this thrilling turn-based action-adventure, a hero with a powerful gauntlet sets out to save their kingdom from descending into chaos.
Your first task is to become a righteous Rage Knight, to prove you can handle the responsibility – as well as the cool weapons and armour – that comes with the job.
You’ll battle your way through fields, villages and temples as you face off against goblins, wolves and even bears. And that’s before you leave your home town of Astellan to take on undead warriors – and worse.
Tap to lunge forward with your sword. You can keep it going with another tap to boost damage, or use your gauntlet to deliver a mighty punch. Alternatively, swipe to switch targets mid-combo to deliver a surprise strike.
Land enough blows and you can call upon a pair of heroes to help out, each with their own special powers. And they’ll deal even more devastating attacks if you wait to max out your rage meter. Expert archer Ash’s Rain of Fire, for example, will leave a whole group of opponents with a sick burn that will sap their health for three turns. Grimm’s Ice Needles can freeze enemies on the spot. Or you can simply rely on the raw, bludgeoning power of the brutish Helmar. Heroes and weapons are strong against certain enemy types, so each encounter becomes a kind of tactical puzzle. Do you finish off a straggler, or take out a tough enemy’s shield to leave them exposed ahead of your next turn? Pull off an ultimate chain for bonus damage, or summon an ally to recover health? Stylised, superbly animated visuals draw you into a vivid world that’s full of character, with glorious slo-mo flourishes that lend extra weight to your attacks. With hunting missions, arena battles against other players – with your own minions to command – and the chance to form your own guild, Knighthood is an epic adventure that shouldn’t be missed.
