Shady Knight, a first-person action game, has been released on Steam and received 96% positive reviews on its first day. Gamers highlight the impressive parkour mechanics and diverse enemy kill combinations as the game's main strengths. Some players are even calling it the «medieval version of Ultrakill».
«Your weapons react to your state, charging a strike from a slide or in the air leads to different moves. Even more interesting combinations appear once you discover that you can jump off enemies' heads or wall-kick to trigger more powerful abilities», — reads the description.
The core gameplay revolves around eliminating groups of enemies in the most creative ways possible. For instance, you can use the interactive environment to devise intricate algorithms for instant enemy takedowns.
Throughout the game, players will need to clear four hubs filled with hardcore action scenarios.
