What is Shady Knight?
In this first-person dark fantasy action game, you play a knight trying to end a cursed series of trials across towers in four hubs. You slide and wall-kick through combat and platforming sections, combining picked-up weapons with a kick and chained dagger. A style system ranks your performance.
For you if...
- +you enjoy experimenting with attacks and environmental objects
- +you like replaying trials to improve your style rank
Not for you if...
- −you prefer slower, less demanding fights
- −you want combat without challenging platforming sections
