Do you like Real Time Strategy? Or are Role Playing
Games your preference… Why not try both genres in
one … or even both separately? … In one game: KnightShift
!
The Single Player RTS part of the game consists of
three addictive, story driven campaigns. Each of them
takes place in a different geographical area and bounds
you every minute with new challenges like rescuing
a kidnapped Princess or fighting a ferocious Dragon
- or combat with nasty, ugly, smelly monsters and
the bones of the walking dead.
During the campaigns the player develops his characters
and gains access to new weapons, special armor and
magic items. He also has the possibility of creating
new characters or building new structures. All characters
controlled by the player gain experience and go "level-up",
increasing their combat potential and magical abilities.
The characters may also find special items and weapons,
armor and magical amulets, helping them to increase
and enhance their skills.
Additionally, an extensive RPG mode surprises with
an even larger selection of maps, quests, weapons
and enemies, plus a highly improved character development.
Skills selection, merchandise, the hiring of helpful
characters and character inventories. This RPG Mode
for experienced gamers can be played alone or over
the Internet in companion network matches.
For RTS fans and friends of massive multiplayer battles,
several RTS skirmish and MP modes guarantee endless
hours of exciting gameplay.
