Press release:
Melbourne, Australia – April 10, 2024.
The Melbourne.based (Australia) indie games developer PlaySide Studios (the award-winning developers behind “Age of Darkness: Final Stand)today”) announced with great joy and thrill that their arcade-inspired isometric action shooter “KILL KNIGHT“, is coming to PC (via Steam) and consoles (PS5 and Xbox Series X/S) in 2024.

Revealed during the Triple-i Initiative and set to launch later this year, KILL KNIGHT challenges players to master the demon within as they descend through the voids of an eldritch arena and harness a devastating arsenal of armor and weapons against swarms of otherworldly horrors.

Once a loyal knight, betrayed, and banished to the Abyss. A desecrated corpse inside reanimated armor. You rise to an eternal death. Branded KILL KNIGHT, you have one purpose – KILL THE LAST ANGEL.

Players must learn to exploit enemy weaknesses, enact brutal executions, and weave through the Knight’s Arsenal to tactically manage resources – as they dance with death in the Abyss and take the fight to global leaderboards against friends and foes alike.

FEATURES:

Fast and visceral top-down, push-forward combat that rewards aggression and precision
An immersive otherworld dripping in corrosive atmosphere with a retro-inspired aesthetic
Descend through five fatal layers, each more deadly than the last
Choose your challenge, with three distinct difficulty settings to overcome
Survive long enough to raise your Kill Power, increasing speed and damage
Complete challenges to unlock your Knight’s Arsenal, and evolve your playstyle
Dive into Master Mode, combining all five layers into one extended arena challenge
Ascend the global leaderboards and compete with friends for high-score supremacy
