We've just updated Battle Knights to include infinite lives. This was decided because Battle Knights has a steep difficulty curve which requires practice to master. However, enabling infinite lives comes at the cost of being unable to earn achievements (other than in challenge levels) as we want to reward skilled players for investing their time into the game. As there is the choice to replay any level in the game, players may decide to go back and replay them with a finite amount lives in order to earn achievements. Battle Knights Version - 1.0.5 (09/12/2016) - Infinite lives have been added in the options menu. However, playing with infinite lives will prevent the ability to earn achievements. Challenge levels are the exception to this as they have always had infinite lives by default. - Fixed an issue with spawning clouds on Green Challenge. - Fixed an issue when setting lives and going into the options menu in which the UI was misrepresenting the amount of lives that had been previously set.

Battle Knights is a retro style 2D game in which the player must go through the six realms and defeat each knight that leads their respective realm in order to unite the land. Play as the blue knight, Wonder, who is on a quest to unite the colored realms.

Story Mode:

Battle Knights contains a story mode that consists of six realms that the player must clear in order to beat the game. The realms area playable in any order the player wishes, with a boss being unlocked after the completion of each realm.

Story mode can also be played cooperatively. All realms feature a challenge level that will unlock a bonus mode once all are beaten.

Six Realms to clear
Coop (Up to 2 players)
Challenge levels
Bosses
Unlockable content
Versus Mode:

Battle Knights also contains a versus component containing 14 stages that can be played with up to six players locally. Versus Mode can be played in any team combination (2v2, 3v3, 2v2v2, 1v3, etc) or free for all. Knights of the same color are automatically placed on the same team. This means that to play a free for all match, all players must select differing knight colors.

Unlike Story Mode, Versus Mode has items that drop and, upon pickup, give the player a temporary ability. The frequency at which the items drop can be changed or removed completely if the players are wanting a more skill-based match.

2-6 player competitive mode
Teams in any combination (3v3, 2v2, 1v2, 1v3, etc) or free for all
Same colored knights are automatically grouped into the same team
