Swiss Knife

Swiss Knife is a platforming puzzle game in which you control a team of three robots, each with distinct abilities, perks and behaviours. Set 2,042 years after the “Great Disappearing,” it takes place on an Earth where humans and animals are gone and little robots called Swiss Knives live in their place.

The world and its conflict

Humans created the Swiss Knives shortly before the Great Disappearing. Their scientists had been unable to store enough energy in a battery, so they turned to an ancient, magical power source called the Relica. Relicas are guarded by Titans and can only be obtained by defeating them or solving their puzzles. When humans stole the Relica guarded by Alsharu, the oldest Titan, also known as the Fire Djinn, they ignored the rules—and learned that everything gained requires a sacrifice.

Twenty years ago, SK Headquarter, led by El Mayor Tobor, created an intervention team program. Its teams, each made up of a HeavyWeight, an Agility and an Engineer, were sent around the world to collect Relicas, but never obtained one. Their efforts are thwarted by Night Knight, also known as Nemesis, a robot created by the same person who made all Swiss Knives. Designed to be the perfect robot and born to destroy, Night Knight has a plan that differs from SK City's.

A new team achieves an exceptional score in the basic tests and is selected as the Special Team. It is sent across Earth to collect Relicas and help other races get rid of Night Knight's army. The mission also gives Mayor Tobor a way to take control of the planet's energy.

The three classes

Each team combines three classes, with a different role and set of abilities:

• HeavyWeight: Built for heavy transport and firefighter districts, this is the strongest and most resilient class. Its flamethrower uses heat to burn opponents.
• Agility: A scout that can jump and glide, Agility is suited to exploring dangerous places and escaping threats, though it is not designed for combat.
• Engineer: A support and medic class that can repair bridges, terminals, doors and teammates. It can use electricity as either a weapon or a shield.
