The Knight Game : Iron Blood ♕ Medieval hack n slash melee combat fun made in Unreal!

Introduction:
Hello folkz and welcome to the thread of Knight Game Iron Blood.
A medieval hack n slash, sideview melee combat game, similar to the game moonstone : a hard days knight, released on 1991 on the amiga plattform.

Short description:
So one day we looked at the old amiga game moonstone : a hard days knight and thought we could go over it and take it to next gen, in our own imagination and perspective of the game. It’s not meant to be a copy or something similar. It’s our imagination on what the game could be nowadays with a reworked fight system and modern day graphics.
The game will have multiplayer support, for now its bound to steam but we will also cover consoles in the near future. The game will also have a single player campagne where you can play the game locally with up to 3 friends or alone with AI.

In multiplayer you can do that with 3 friends over internet connection.
The game will feature AI you can fight against as well as player vs player fights.
We hope that somehow points you in the direction the game will go at.
For now we focus on bringing the player vs player fights to life for an upcoming early accces and / or kicktstarter.

Hey Folkz!
We prepared a detailed article about the movement and combat system of our knight game - iron blood.

Tis but a scratch!

So far so good. I wish you good luck!

Looks interesting, I like the art style, very realistic. I’m looking forward to seeing more of the combat :slight_smile:

Thank you guys and funny video [USER=“434”]BrUnO XaVIeR[/USER] :slight_smile:
Yeah, at the moment we are working on a new map and on the code of the game.

Most parts of the combat-system are already re-written in c++ instead of BP only. We hope to have a better performance with c++ code!
Also, new assets are needed for the new map. So we are outside to scan trees, rocks and scary looking tomb stones :wink:

New screenshots, soon!

Thanks Guys!

Hey Folkz!

Hey folkz!

Because we want to bring you the best possible performance and game feeling in our knight game Iron Blood, we are working on bringing all the blueprints into clean c++ code. Meanwhile we are constantly rethinking and redoing our combat system to deliver you the best and smoothest experience possible. This video also shows the latest state of our newest battlefield “Cemetery in the woods” which is still in progress.

Thank you!

Hey People!
Time is flying but we still have to fix some bugs before we can release our Iron Blood multiplayer demo.
As a little consolation we have created this in-game render of Sir Godber´s and Sir Jeffrey´s helmets.
We hope you like it!
