Chainsawesome Games has #revealed that Knight Squad, #medieval-themed party #game for up to eight players, will go into full launch November 16 on Linux, Mac, Windows PC and Xbox One. Enter the fray in free-for-all battles, crush your opponents in team-based matches, and take the fight online with nine different game modes, each as frantic as the last.
Knight Squad is a 1 to 8 players game that can be described as SNES era Bomberman meets Gauntlet. Play as a Knight in the arena and defeat your opponents using epic weapons and power ups. Challenge your friends in the Versus mode or try to complete the challenges and beat other players score on the leaderboard in the Challenges.
Players drop into one of several top-down arenas where they face off to see who will be the last knight standing, capture all of the flags, or score the most goals in an adapted form of full-contact (and full-slaughter) soccer.
