RUSTY KNIGHT: HARDMODE is a merciless 2D action-platformer that blends punishing precision combat with dark fantasy lore. Step into the rusted armor of a disgraced knight, condemned to an endless cycle of death and rebirth in a world consumed by corruption. With only a broken sword and fading hope, you must fight through hordes of twisted creatures, navigate lethal traps, and conquer monstrous bosses in a quest for redemption—or damnation.

Game Features:

  • Brutal Souls-like Combat – Every strike, dodge, and parry must be calculated. Stamina management is key, and a single mistake can mean death.
  • A World Drenched in Darkness – Explore interconnected regions, from crumbling cathedrals to blood-soaked dungeons, each with its own horrors and secrets.
  • Permadeath with a Twist – Death is permanent, but each run unlocks new shortcuts, weapons, and lore fragments, slowly unraveling the knight’s tragic past.
  • Cursed Progression System – Upgrade your abilities by accepting dark pacts, each granting power at a terrible cost. Will you embrace the corruption or resist it?
  • Nightmarish Boss Battles – Face towering abominations with complex attack patterns, requiring mastery of movement and timing.
  • Minimalist Yet Haunting Storytelling – Discover the truth through environmental clues, cryptic NPCs, and eerie visions.
  • Original Gothic Soundtrack – A chilling score enhances the oppressive atmosphere, blending orchestral tones with unsettling ambience.

Supported Platforms:

  • PC (Windows/macOS/Linux) – Optimized for keyboard.
  • Mobile (Android/iOS) – Touchscreen controls + full controller support
