About This Game

Knights is a free PvP multiplayer game in which players must explore a deadly dungeon while pursuing a given quest.

For example, in the Quest for Gems, you must collect three gems and carry them back to your starting point. Sounds simple? The catch is that the dungeon only contains enough gems for one player to win - so you will likely have to fight your opponents and take their stuff!

Other quests include racing to the dungeon exit, fighting a duel to the death against the enemy knights, or destroying an ancient Book using a magical Wand.

While exploring, you will find various items to aid you. Hammers can smash down wooden obstacles. Axes can be thrown or swung at your opponents. Potions and scrolls will give you temporary powers. But beware, there are also dangers, including deadly traps, bloodthirsty vampire bats, and zombies who exist only to kill living knights!

The game is for 2 or more players, and can be played online, on a LAN, or in split screen mode (2 players on the same PC). There's also a single player mode for practice, and a Tutorial to help you get started.
