Game

You play as knights in this cartoonish and comical platformer. Level up, adapt, save the kingdom and laugh on the way doing it.

This is a decent platformer with some variation to it and developers with a sense of humor. Perhaps a bit to repetitive at times and the screen can at times be flooded by a cluster of effects and enemies making it somewhat unclear what's happening at times.

Co-op

This is where the game really shines. It's clear that the developers created the game with coop in mind from the beginning, including the entire campaign. Focus on different abilities and help one another to create the best team.
