Knight Without Sword

Knight Without Sword is a puzzle game about guiding chickens that imitate your movements. You cannot attack or open treasure chests yourself, so you must use your teammates to open chests, collect every gold coin and reach the finish line. You need all the coins to pass each level.

The knight’s legacy

Long ago, a clever knight in the kingdom defeated enemies without weapons. After the knight fell ill and died, the king began selecting knights who could match his ability. Those who pass the selection are called Knight without sword.

Imitation and positioning

Your chicken teammates imitate your movements: when you move forward, they move forward, and when you move left, they move left. Their apparent actions can differ when they face the opposite direction, or seem unrelated when they are positioned vertically relative to you, so you need to watch how the characters are positioned. Enemies also imitate your movements, and they can open treasure chests—but once the chests release coins, enemies may steal them.

Large rocks and pine trees let you adjust the characters’ relative positions. After moving, enemies attack every character one step ahead of them, including other enemies, so you can use their movements to make them attack each other.

Levels and guidance

The game has 86 levels, ranging from simple to particularly difficult. If you repeatedly fail a level, cheats appear on the failure and pause pages. These contain the steps to pass and can provide tips, or you can display the steps directly in the game scene. The game also uses color to indicate when your actions differ from the guide.
