What is KILL KNIGHT?

This top-down arcade shooter casts you as a reanimated knight fighting through five arenas in the Abyss on a mission to kill the Last Angel. You dodge attacks, switch between guns and swords, and use executions and blasts to survive. Completing challenges unlocks equipment, while a separate mode links all five arenas into one extended run.

For you if...

  • +you want different weapons to experiment with

Not for you if...

  • −you prefer a relaxed pace and forgiving difficulty
  • −you want a long, story-led campaign
