There are always plenty of novel and interesting new ideas announced at Gamescom Asia, and Knight Crawlers looks like one of them.
Made by developer Good Morning Games and published by Singapore’s The Iterative Collective, this wacky-looking medieval romp sets players against everything in their path armed with their trusty battleaxe, from skeletons and the undead to ducks. Yes, ducks.
A Knight’s Tale: About Knight Crawlers
You are the Crawler, a skilled warrior destined to battle their way through swathes of enemies encountered behind each dark portal.
This 3D dungeon crawling action RPG comes with a cacophony of chaos as players storm the path as Kevin the Knight. Expect physics-based ragdoll combat, wildly flailing gymnastic combat moves, and hordes of enemies to destroy (or just angrily wave your weapon at).
As any roguelike worth its salt, each crawl is procedurally generated to be completely unique. Players can pick up weapons, skill cards, and a whole myriad of other helpful goodies along their journey. In order to progress further through each run, players need to be on the lookout for handy loot, or resources in order to craft more powerful weapons and armour.
Knights stomp, fight, and barrel over enemies with physics-based gameplay, with the ragdoll mechanics offering often hilarious consequences of rolling around and helplessly flailing on the floor.
Players can also enter PvP arenas to battle it out against friends online, making grabbing all the useful upgrades all the more important along the way.

However, this is their first foray into the world of physics-based combat, and boy, does it look like a fun one to start with!
