Our take on Battle Knights
Rather than following a single linear platforming campaign, Battle Knights lets players choose among six realms and layers that structure with cooperative story play, local team battles, free-for-all matches, and unlockable bonus modes.
What is Battle Knights?
Battle Knights is a platformer starring Wonder, a blue knight seeking to unite the colored realms.
Its core actions are attacking, blocking, and jumping. Story Mode covers six realms that can be completed in any order, with a boss becoming available after each realm. Cooperative play supports up to two players, and each realm includes a challenge level that unlocks bonus content when all are completed. Versus Mode offers 14 local stages for two to six players, with flexible teams or free-for-all matches. Dropped items grant temporary abilities, and item frequency can be adjusted or disabled. The game also includes Dungeon Run, Survival, and other bonus modes, including cooperative options for one to six players.
