Our take on O Holy Knight
Its defining mechanic is the formation-based control of a mixed medieval squad, with unit positioning shaping battles against successive monster waves.
What is O Holy Knight?
O Holy Knight is a medieval fantasy roguelite in which the player commands a squad through dangerous environments and repeated battles against waves of monsters.
The squad includes knights, archers, and mages, whose positions can be arranged into formations for combat. Victories grant experience, allowing units to gain skills and abilities. Squad development supports different combinations intended to work with selected formations, while enemy encounters become increasingly difficult. Battles combine direct formation control with tactical use of melee fighters, ranged attackers, and spellcasters. The game presents this warband and its encounters with cell-shaded, toon-rendered visuals.
