Golden Knight

Golden Knight is a single-player mini metroidvania RPG platformer about a hero’s journey to free the kingdom of Valerond from the forces of darkness. You play as Golden Knight, a defender of endangered kingdoms who is caught off guard by the spreading darkness while traveling through the region. You explore forests and castles, fight enemies and bosses, and seek to restore peace.

Explore Valerond

You travel through dark forests and sinister castles, finding treasures and resources while completing levels and facing challenges. The game uses 2D pixel art, with environments and enemies depicted in that style. Campsites are scattered through the journey, and you can collect coins and improve abilities such as attack and health as you progress against increasingly powerful enemies.

Combat and hazards

You attack with your sword, jump to avoid enemies and traps, and use a dash to dodge or strike enemies at long range. Enemies include slimes, skeletons, zombies and bats. Bosses include the Demon Bat, a giant evil eye and the Dark Mage. You also have to overcome spikes, darts and scythes, which require skill and precision to avoid.

Music and progression

The soundtrack draws on classic medieval music. Progress through Valerond by completing levels and defeating bosses, with the aim of defeating the forces of evil and restoring peace.
