About This Game

On a somber night, an evil sorcerer and his dark army assault the kingdom of Alexandria. The royal guards fail to protect the king and princess, falling one by one. A sole surviving knight wakes up in the throne room to discover the princess missing and the city overrun by creatures. Armed with a blade, he sets out on a perilous quest to rescue the princess and bring peace back to the realm.

Created by Matt Kap, lead artist of The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth, it features a vast world inspired by gaming's golden age. Players can upgrade their knight with unique abilities, collect over 100 weapons and items, defeat more than 50 bosses, and face over 100 distinct enemies, all accompanied by a fast-paced chiptune soundtrack.
