Our take on Knights of Light: The Prologue
Its defining structure is the shift between direct combat as one of two brothers and command over troops on larger battlefields, with regional occupation and fortifications connecting those modes.
What is Knights of Light: The Prologue?
Set in Iraq during the 7th century, this action RPG follows two elite brothers before the Battle of Al-Qadiseiya, a conflict linked to the fall of the Sassanian Empire.
Qaikaa uses heavy attacks and brute force, while Aassem relies on speed and agility; each has separate abilities to unlock. Missions alternate between fighting as one character, commanding a small group, and directing larger battles. Weapons have different ranges and advantages against particular enemies, with quick switching during combat. A regional world map includes allied and hostile areas to occupy or conquer. Resources and fortifications support control of captured regions. The current content covers events leading up to the battle rather than the full week-long conflict.
