Are you ready for a fast-paced isometric action shooter game? PlaySide Studios are planning to roll out their ultra-responsive arcade inspired game. Kill Knight promises a brutal and satisfying shooting combat with eldritch horrors. Kill Knight is a reanimated armor of a loyal knight who was betrayed and exiled to the abyss. The ultimate purpose to Kill Knight is to kill the last angel.
“KILL KNIGHT’s polished, minimalist aesthetic, and retro visuals pay homage to the neon-soaked arcades and shooters of the 90’s. 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.”
A Knight Fallen: Embracing the Abyss
The narrative throws you in the shoes of a fallen knight. Initially the knight was loyal to his duties but his fate was twisted. The knight was betrayed and was cast into the depths of the Abyss. The betrayal leads to the result of rising as a reanimated husk. This strongly reminds all of us about Dark Souls 3 the boss named Dragonslayer Armour. The boss was just a simple empty armor. The Kill Knight is fueled by revenge and a hint of wicked demonic influence.
The mystery behind his nature as a fallen knight is still under the mist. It is unsure if the knight was betrayed by his own people or was, he a result of a demonic trap. The developers are quite vague about this information. Players will need to piece together the cryptic hints to figure out the reasons. The ambiguity adds a mysterious vibe to it.
Embrace the Carnage: Gameplay Breakdown
Firstly, the game has an isometric viewpoint which provides a clear view of the eldritch arena. This perspective also allows players to have a precise aiming. It also helps the players to make strategic move around big crowds of enemies.
In order to be a master of the arena you need to observe the enemy move and have a strong reflex. You need to have perfect dodging and dashing timing. Moreover, strategically positioning yourself is also important for survival. You need the perfect opening to have your devasting combos.
“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.”
There will be five eldritch arena infiltered with horrendous enemies. Each layout has its own enemy type so every level will feel unique compared to others.
Kill Power System
“Survive the otherworldly onslaught and complete challenges to unlock powerful new equipment for your Knight’s Arsenal, and evolve your unique playstyle.”
As you progress further in the horror of the Arenas you will unlock arrays of weapons. Each weapon requires different playstyle. It gives the player the choice to choose their own playstyle. There are heavy great swords or you can also choose swift daggers for fast attacks. Players who want to maintain distance they can also go for projectile weapons.
“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.”
Kill Knight also introduces a unique power called Kill Power system. The longer you thrive without dying the meter of kill power also increases. This system then helps you unleash devastating attacks annihilating all the enemies. Of course, dying will reset the meter for Kill Power.
