Hey everyone, We've had people comment recently that their controller(s) haven't been working with Battle Knights for whatever reason(s). This has been a difficult thing for us to solve because we haven't had issues on our end so you can imagine our frustration trying to see what could be going wrong. We have enabled a generic platformer controller template through steam in an effort to see if that will solve the issues that people have had but we won't know how effective it is without feedback. If you're someone who has a controller that wasn't working, please give the game a try and let us know in the forums if this change helped or not and which controller(s) you use(d). Thanks very much guys and we apologize for the inconvenience and we hope that this small tweak fixes things.

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
Last man/team standing wins
Item spawns (frequency can be changed or disabled entirely)

Bonus Modes:
Some available at the start
Others must be unlocked through story mode
Includes 1-6 player coop modes
