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
