Overview
Knightess invites players into a 2D RPG world reminiscent of classic titles like Skyfall and Thorne. The game plunges you into a kingdom teetering on the brink of civil war. At its heart lies a conflict between the Barons, who rely on slavery for their economy, and the Merchants, who champion trade as the future. Caught in the middle is King Aethelred, desperately trying to maintain peace and find a resolution.
Players step into the boots of Anastasia, Artemisia, and Lozen – three mercenaries traversing the kingdom's roads in search of work and those in need. The King sees these women as a potential, albeit temporary, solution to quell the unrest.
Your journey with them will unfold into a path of discovery, challenging the status quo and navigating the complex political landscape.
