Here is an overview of the game, via its Steam page:
About
Knights of the Fall is a science-fiction 2D / 3D hybrid platformer that tells the story of Haru, a combat veteran, and Yoshida, his scientist sidekick, who join forces to uncover how interdimensional travel and the afterlife could be connected, using time and gravity-bending technology.
In 1947, the secret agency NASS was founded to decode mysterious cosmic signals, triggering Japan’s rapid technological boom.
However, in 1986, the ignition of a zero-point energy reactor ripped open a gateway to another dimension, inviting alien life to Earth and plunging the planet into a desperate battle for survival.
Amid survivors, Haru allies with Yoshida, a former NASS scientist, and together they navigate a world forever altered, with the hope of saving Earth and those trapped in singularity anomalies.
Key Features
- Gravity and Time-Bending Technology – Harness a singularity reactor to bend gravity and warp time itself. Use these powers tactically to manipulate the battlefield and disarm enemies with brutal efficiency, executing them in inventive and satisfying ways.
- Unique Tactical Combat – In a post-apocalyptic world where weapons are scarce, survival means improvisation. Turn enemy strength into their weakness. Redirect attacks, lure them into dangerous crossfire, and exploit every opening.
- Range of Enemies – Face a wide range of enemies, each with distinct AI behavior, combat patterns, and unique weaknesses.
- Intense Boss Battles – Clash with bosses that mirror your own abilities. Outsmart them, turn their strengths against them, and manipulate the chaos of the battlefield by using lesser enemies as your weapons.
- Unique Atmosphere – Experience a hand-painted, post-apocalyptic world brought to life through a cinematic 2D/3D hybrid style. Traverse ruined cities, overrun hospitals, underground NASS labs, and warped anomalies where past and future collide. Each level offers new traversal challenges and hidden lore.
- Immersive Narrative – Discover the overlapping stories of survivors and those trapped within singularity anomalies. Through scattered diaries, lost recordings, and fragmented memories, guide Haru on a journey to uncover the hidden truth.
- Soundtrack – A carefully composed, cinematic score brings the post-apocalyptic world to life, deepening the emotional impact of every encounter and discovery.
