In-game action

UnderKnight is an action 'roguelite' adventure where players can immerse yourself in a fantasy world, brave a multitude of unique arenas and battle hordes of fearsome enemies.

In order to progress, players will simply tap, swipe, and push to hack, slash, and dodge their way to victory with strategy and timing being key to defeating enemies. Players can enhance, build and reward their knight with weapons, armour, and special abilities that are collected on conclusion of each successful mission.

The game features a huge variety of in game monsters and characters and the gameworld is a vast procedurally generated landscape.

”UnderKnight distils the excitement of classical fighting games into a simple joyful experience, combined with collecting and upgrading new heroes and equipment. Truly a ‘Knight’ to remember!” says Oscar Clark, CEO Fundamentally Games.
