Kill Knight, arcade-inspired isometric action shooter, announced for Switch
Today, PlaySide Studios Kill Knight as its latest project. The title is now in development for Switch and other platforms.
Kill Knight is an arcade-inspired isometric action shooter. Read more about it in the following overview:
Kill Knight is an ultra-responsive arcade-inspired isometric action shooter. Condemned to eternal sufferance, deep within the voids of an eldritch arena, you must wield an arsenal of devastating weaponry to obliterate swarms of otherworldly horrors – and MASTER THE DEMON WITHIN.
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.
Dance with death in the Abyss, and unveil intricate layers of gameplay lurking beneath the surface. Exploit enemy weaknesses, enact brutal executions, weave through your arsenal to tactically manage resources, and unleash destructive wrath blasts to turn the tide. Every encounter is testament to your mastery.
Kill Knight’s polished, minimalist aesthetic, and retro visuals pay homage to the neon-soaked arcades and shooters of the 90s. Set across five relentless, hand-crafted eldritch arenas, Kill Knight embraces lo-fi brutalism and revels in the dread and dream-like ruins that surround your descent into the Abyss.
Survive the otherworldly onslaught and complete challenges to unlock powerful new equipment for your Knight’s Arsenal, and evolve your unique playstyle. Learn to harness the special abilities and fire-modes of Kill Knight’s array of pistols, heavy weapons, swords, and armor. Take your fight to the global leaderboards against friends and foes alike. Enter if you dare, Knight, and revel in the carnage.
