A Knight’s Quest Is A Zelda-esque Adventure for All Platforms This Fall

News: A new adventure awaits as a clumsy hero needs to save the world from events he accidentally started.

There is a new adventure game being released this Fall called “A Knight’s Quest”. It is a modern take on a classic adventure formula, kind of an ode and tribute to some of the classic Zelda games. It will be available on all platforms a little later this year for £19.99 / €24.99 / $24.99.

Dispatching enemies with a stylish thrust of the sword, rail-grinding across huge chasms high above tumbling waterfalls, wall-running over perilous traps or solving puzzles by controlling the elements – it’s all in a day’s work for Rusty, gaming’s newest hero who’ll be making his debut in A Knight’s Quest.

Daring, debonair, and just a little bit daft, Rusty is a kind-hearted, but clumsy adventurer who accidentally starts a chain of events that threaten to destroy his world. In order to right his wrong, he’ll need to solve mind-bending conundrums, fight challenging enemies, defeat huge bosses and platform his way through a open world.

Rusty begins his adventure with just a trusty sword and basic shield, but he’ll soon unlock ‘Spirit Powers’ – spectacular abilities which have the power to transform not only himself but also the world around him. At the tap of a button, he can harness the powers of Fire, Ice and Time to devastating effect, using them to conquer enemies in battle or solve environmental challenges.

The game takes place in the kingdom of Regalia, but Rusty’s adventure will take him to the desert town of Zameris, high over the ice-laden Peaky Peaks and into the Cursed Swamp, among many others. Along the way, he’ll encounter a colorful cast of memorable characters that bring the world to life.

There will, of course, be enemies along the way to try and prevent you from achieving your goal. From General Windpipe to The Watcher and many more besides, peril is never too far away. On top of the standard bone-bashing foot soldiers, grunts and minions, at key moments in the game, you will also need to tackle screen-filling bosses in spectacular set-pieces.

A Knight’s Quest will feature approximately 30 hours of gameplay. It is a classic action-adventure title that doesn’t get overly complex like some titles tend to do. Combat is fast and fluid, and the platforming works well, with Rusty’s repertoire of acrobatic moves effortless to pull off.

A Knight’s Quest has been developed by Sky 9 Games, a brand new Toronto-based studio, with support from Runcorn-based d3t, who has previously worked on the Shenmue remasters, among many others. A Knight’s Quest will be available on Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, and PC. Take a look at the trailer below and then tell us what you think. Will you be picking it up?
