Publisher Saber Interactive has announced that Twirlbound has released a demo for upcoming action platformer, The Knightling on Steam.
Described as “a new fantasy actionadventure game featuring exploration, questing, combat and platforming”, the demo is ahead of Steam Next Fest (later this month), and allows you to “wield a massive shield and experience the opening chapter of this epic journey of bravery and heroism” ahead of the eventual PC, Nintendo Switch, Xbox Series S|X, and PS5 release later this year.
When Sir Lionstone, the legendary protector of the great city of Clesseia, mysteriously disappears, it’s up to his plucky knight-in-training to take up his magic shield, become the champion the people need, and find Sir Lionstone before it’s too late. Explore a vibrant semiopen world, battle monsters, miscreants and bandits, and unlock the extraordinary powers of Sir Lionstone’s mighty shield. Don’t forget — all heroes start small!
In The Knightling’s new demo, you’ll run, jump, slide and fight with your trusty shield while kicking off the game’s main story and exploring the world of Clesseia for the first time. Learn the ins and outs of platforming and combat, using your shield to traverse the realm with ease while harnessing its might to block, bash and parry enemies. Gather your courage and prove that even the smallest among us make a difference!
The Knightling is coming to PC (via Steam), Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series S|X later this year.
