Welcome back, dear knights!
You have been told of the legendary tale of Camelot, its courageous king and the brave Knights of the Round Table but now it is on you and your broken Excalibur to change Camelot’s fate and return the once dazzling kingdom to its former glory ... with a little help from your loyal friends.
Upon your arrival in Astral Camelot, you will stumble upon statues of the Knights of the Round. Approach them and soon you will discover that although they themselves have perished, their souls and, more importantly, their powers remain within their statues.
The knights will stand with you in death as they did in life and grant you unique powers and skills to defeat the gigantic enemies standing in your way. You will be able to equip the sword of your chosen knight, infuse your broken Excalibur with its power and choose a skill to aid you on your mission before each run.
Upgrades and Unveiling New Knights
While you are initially only able to interact with your knightly companions Lancelot and Bors, you’ll find ways to unlock the statues and powers of all six of your fellow knights. Search for each knight's memento on your adventure and seek out Amethryst, the sculptor, who will help you affix them to its respective statue. As soon as they have been reconstructed, you'll be able to access the knights' powerful skills and swords.
On your missions you may come across the statues of your selected knights. Interact with them after you've cleared an area of enemies to choose a weapon or skill upgrade from three random blessings and become unstoppable.
You have slayed many giants with Lancelot's sword Arondight but can't seem to get the hang of his Thunder Strike skill? Don't fret, young knight, combine skills and weapons from different knights depending on you preferred play style or strategy! There are no limits to your greatness!
The Knights, Their Weapons, and Skills
Choosing the right weapon and skill is an important task for a knight. To help you make the right decisions, we'll be introducing you to four Knights of the Round Table, their weapons, and skills below!
Starting off strong with the great and mighty Lancelot. His is one of the first statues presented to you after your resurrection, and for good reason. His art of swordsmanship is mirrored in his weapon, Arondight, which focusses on balance and caters to all styles of combat. With medium damage and medium speed, this is the perfect starter weapon!
Looking for an electrifying skill to put enemies in their place? Equip the Thunder Strike skill to summon forth the might of thunder and lightning to strike down anyone standing in your way.
Prefer to attack from a distance? Smart choice - so does Bors! With his throwing knife, Galeholt, you can catch your foes off guard from afar. Although it causes less damage than the swords of some of the other Knights of the Round Table, it offers you the advantage of observing and attacking from safety due to its long range.
When necessary, Bors' Slicing Orbits skill allows you to get closer to your enemies while minimising damage. In manipulating the force of gravity, he creates a deadly circle of blades around you.
Find a piece of his armour to unlock the statue of Bedivere, unmatched in strength and greatness. His mighty Sword of Camlann, is yours to claim. Although slow, when used just right, this greatsword will bring about damage like no other.
Combine the power of any sword with Bedivere's Shockwave skill and cause a destructive wave knocking down any enemies set out to harm you!
Seeking a blade as beautiful as it is deadly? Approach Gawain's newly unlocked statue to choose his poison sabre, Galantine. Seemingly harmless on a glance, this venomous weapon has been imbued with poison infecting even the grandest of giants.
Gawain's green thumb doesn't end there, equip his Orchid of Malice skill to grow the most toxic of flowers that will lead any enemy to their demise.
Unveil the two remaining knights to find out all there is to know about them - we don't want to spoil the fun for you here, brave knight! If you want to get a head start and begin practicing with Lancelot and Bors, the Knight vs Giant: The Broken Excalibur - Prologue is available to play now! Also if you enjoy the Prologue please do leave us a Steam review, it helps us a lot!
Get ready to draw your weapon of choice, become invincible and save the kingdom of Camelot!
Fare thee well!
