Skautfold: Knight's End

Skautfold: Knight's End is set in humanity's final days, as you play Lennecia Britannia, the First Knight of the Angelic Empire of Britannia. The Moon has opened to reveal an Eldritch horror, and fragments of it are on course to collide with Earth and cleanse its surface of life. As preparations are completed for an Ark-like escape, Lennecia pursues a personal mission to save someone dear to her.

Explore the factory

You explore the Waltham Industries Vitae production factory, where a mystery beneath the facility reveals the history of Alfred Waltham, the series' most notorious figure. As the end draws near, you help him fulfill his final scheme. The factory is home to creatures, experiments and rejects that you must face as you build your arsenal of weapons, spells and occult items and grow your own power.

Timeline combat

Battles unfold along a timeline rather than in flat turns. Actions have different Guard costs, cast times and cooldowns, which shape the flow of each fight. Guard serves both as a defensive barrier and as a resource for attacks, developing the systems used in Usurper and Moonless Knight.

You can block, evade, ward or parry incoming attacks. Choosing the right defense and timing it well reduces or can negate damage while building your combo chain. Enemies shift between three defensive stances; using the right type of attack against their weaknesses increases damage and builds the chain. Each attack inflicts a status effect, which can weaken an enemy or combine with existing statuses to create further effects. You can spend your combo chain on powerful attacks, with greater chains producing greater impact.
