KnightShift is an RPG set in a fictional fantasy world. The game features a unique approach to both strategic and role-playing aspects of the game, as each level can be completed with various tactics, from stealthy infiltration to a grand battle of sheer force and steel plates.
The game offers two modes to play, the RTS campaigns, where the player takes control of a prince and his loyal knights, set out on different quests, such as defeating wizards and dragons, rescuing princesses and princes alike, and many more. The playable character can hire new units for battle, improve his skills and enhance the capabilities of his allies and support them on the battlefield. The second game mode is an RPG campaign, where the player can choose between 8 character classes, each with their unique skills and capabilities of creating a wholly new and unrivaled hero. The RPG campaign has its, and thus, new options on how to interact with the game world.
Despite the game being released back in 2003, the graphics of the game are still nice-looking, giving that old school RPG feeling. The soundtrack of the game allows players to completely immerse themselves in the beautiful fantasy world, full of magical creatures and stories about legendary heroes.
