An isometric arena survival game, enriched with roguelike and bullet hell elements. Kill Knight allows us to play as a titular knight. We explore the vast Abyss, eliminating hordes of enemies using melee weapons and firearms. Over time we can improve our skills and gear.
Kill Knight is an arena survival game - a project bordering between action games, roguelikes and bullet hell shooters. The game was created by the Australian developer PlaySide Studios - the authors of Age of Darkness: Final Stand.
The main character of Kill Knight is a warrior who, as a result of betrayal, ended up in the Abyss. In the guise of the Death Knight (corpse clad in animated armor) the protagonist makes his way through this gloomy land, trying to reach the Last Angel and behead him.
In Kill Knight we watch the action in an isometric view. During the game we traverse five vast layers of the Abyss, where we face hordes of enemies. We eliminate enemies by using both melee weapons, which allow us to engage in close combat, and pistols (equipped with various firing modes), thanks to which we can keep adversaries at a distance.
The fights are extremely dynamic, and the enemies outnumber us, so on the battlefield we have to be in constant motion, dodging and performing accurate attacks. As we progress, we accumulate valuable resources that we must skillfully manage. We can also face various challenges to unlock new, increasingly powerful equipment. All of this means that if we manage to stay alive long enough, we can turn our knight into an unstoppable killing machine.
Kill Knight features only singleplayer gameplay. The leaderboards, which allow us to show off our results to the world, provide a semblance of competition with other players. There is a master mode here, in which all layers of the Abyss are combined into one gigantic arena. Additionally, we are given a choice of three difficulty levels, allowing us to adjust the game to individual preferences and skills.

Game Ratings for Kill Knight Video Game.
The Punished Backlog: 9.5 / 10 by Donovan Harrell
Kill Knight isn’t for the faint of heart. It’s brutal, unforgiving, and relentless—but it’s also one of the most satisfying action shooters I’ve played in recent memory. The tight, responsive controls, the variety of weapons, and the rewarding progression system all combine to create a game that’s hard to put down. Sure, the difficulty might turn some players away, but for those willing to push through the frustration, Kill Knight offers a rewarding and exhilarating experience. It’s a straightforward action game that doesn’t waste time with elaborate narratives. You’re here to fight, survive, and master the mechanics. And when everything clicks, it’s like dancing with death itself.

Kill Knight manages to mix hectic and ultra-responsive arcade gameplay with a fun layer of resource management and strategy to create a great challenge to bite into. The visuals are splendid, the enemies never stop coming, and the battle is glorious!

Playing Kill Knight feels like what happens if you gave a medieval peasant a bottle of soda. It's violent, and unexpected, and adrenaline-charged and fun as hell.
