Shady Knight

Shady Knight is a skill-based game about mastering combat and movement as you face a cursed path of trials. No abilities are locked behind progression; success depends on how well you use the powers available to you.

Combine combat and movement

Your weapons respond to how you move: charging a strike while sliding or in the air produces different attacks. You can jump off enemies’ heads and wall-kick to trigger more powerful abilities, and use objects such as barrels for both traversal and combat.

The Kick and the Chained Dagger are always available, even when you are otherwise unarmed. You can combine their abilities with other weapons to create further combos. Sliding, jumping and wall-kicking also let you move fluidly through combat and reach your goals.

Earn style ranks

At any moment, you can switch weapons, combine moves, use contextual abilities or turn the environment to your advantage. Your style rank reflects your skills and knowledge rather than prescribing how you should play.

Take on the towers

Four main hubs contain replayable towers filled with challenging combat scenarios, platforming sections and opportunities for creative environmental kills. Knights in the towers test your skills as you work through the trials.
