In an era of checkpoints and hand-holding, a new retro-style challenge has arrived on Xbox to test your pure platforming skill – Knight of the Keep.
Knight of the Keep is a 2D action platformer from PedroFStudio, and it has launched today on Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S. This brutal, no-shortcuts challenge is available right now for just £4.19.
The Last Bastion of Light
Prepare to take on the role of Sir Peter, the last knight defending Castle Keep, where only your skill, timing, and courage can see you through to victory.
In Knight of the Keep, a collapsing world has been overrun by waves of corrupted foes. You play as Sir Peter, the last knight of Castle Keep, who must make a final, desperate stand to protect the last gate to the light. To do this, he must clear every single room of the castle to unlock the gates and move forward.
A Brutal, No-Shortcuts Challenge
This is a game that prides itself on its difficulty and its classic, tight gameplay. You will need to dodge a variety of deadly traps and fight a host of corrupted monsters using nothing but your wits and your sword.
The game is presented with crisp pixel art and tight, responsive controls, ensuring that every victory is earned through pure skill. At least, we hope. We’ll find out for sure once we go fully hands-on for review.
