Welcome back, brave knights!

Since our release in October 2023 we have continued to update Knight vs Giant: The Broken Excalibur adding new updates and quality of life improvements. With that in mind, we have prepared a post-release updates round-up video to share with you all the changes that have been made and features which were added to the game in the past few months. Most importantly, we'd like to thank you for your support and for playing our game since its release last year. We hope you have enjoyed these updates! You can find a breakdown of all the recently added updates below:

• Unlocking new knight statues is now easier! New knight statues and their associated weapons and skills are now linked to kingdom level. As long as you have Amerthryst and the required kingdom level, you’ll always find the associated Knight’s memento during a run.
• Morgana's Blessings and Curses now come in pairs! You can see the effects of these pairings before they choose whether or not to accept Morgana’s offer. The new combinations also change gameplay more dramatically, offsetting greater benefits with higher but more appropriately calculated risks.
• Challenging Elite enemies have been added! These tougher variants of common minions are equipped with two HP bars as well as deadly attack patterns and cannot be staggered or knocked away.
• Harness the power of the runes! Dropped by slain elite minions, mini-bosses and giants, these powerful new items grant Arthur temporary stat buffs.
• Discover 12 new knight blessings! You can now experiment with additional active and passive blessings such as the Watchful Wisp, Burning Aura, and Thunderous Cannon!
• Assam's shop gains 10 new items! Visit the merchant, Assam, during your run to discover new wares like the Dextrous Cape, or the Arcane Bangle.
• Customise your experience with the gameplay modifier! Once rescued, you can now visit the Jester at Castle Camelot to tweak your gameplay parameters and truly customise your experience.
• Knight vs Giant: The Broken Excalibur is now also Steam deck verified!

Once again, we'd like to thank you all for your continuous support and feedback. These updates and improvements to the game wouldn't have been possible without you. Fare thee well! Gambir Studio & PQube

Good news everyone!

We are back with another exciting content update for Knight vs Giant: The Broken Excalibur! In this update, we have implemented gameplay modifiers that allow you to deeply customize the level of challenge you'll experience during runs. This new feature will unlock after you have recruited the Jester to your kingdom and will trigger either when you head into a dungeon, or when you talk to the Jester in the kingdom. The modifier settings will remain unchanged unless altered, meaning they will not reset once you return from your run. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/38537648/f7e14ca91aa9cbf6e3740883c788d479ddba6a19.gif Each active modifier will progress the bar by 1 node, with bonus coins and giant crystals available for every 5 nodes (+125%, +150%, +200%). The more challenging your runs, the higher the amount of coins and crystals that will drop once an area has been cleared. We have listed all gameplay modifiers and their values below:

• Enemy HP (100%, 150%, 200%) - increases the HP of enemies
• Enemy Damage (100%, 150%, 200%) - increases the damage dealt by enemies
• Enemy Count (100%, 150%, 200%) - increases the amount of enemies spawned (not including mini-bosses and giants)
• Additional Elite Enemies (Normal, +1, +2) - increases the amount of Elite Enemies in the first wave of each room
• Arthur Max HP (100%, 75%, 50%) - reduces Arthur's max HP
• Disable Active Skill Slots (none, 1 slot, 2 slots) - reduces the amount of Active Skill Slots
• Merchant item Prices (100%, 150%, 200%) - increases the price of items sold by the traveling merchant
• Disable Runes Drop - no runes will be dropped

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/38537648/b8e249ed91ec24627648e1f63af3cf884f6ae6ed.png In addition to this new content we have also made some additional improvements and bug fixes. You can check out the full patch notes below: 1.0.7 Patch Notes Improvements & bug fixes:

• Fixed Bors' secondary skill (Slicing Orbit) knives always dealing critical damage for each of knife
• Fixed roll/dodge length becoming shorter after attacking or getting damaged
• Increased the spawn chance and amount of potions
• Tristan's secondary skill (Thousand Blossom Slash) now always hits 3 times even if there's only 1 enemy left

As always, thank you for all your continued support and we hope you'll enjoy playing with the new customization options! Gambir Studio & PQube

Welcome back, knights!

We hope you have enjoyed playing Knight vs Giant: The Broken Excalibur so far. Have you slain its many giants yet, or did you get slain? Whichever way your quest went, we come bearing some good news! Today, we're releasing the new content update 1.0.5 that adds another feature to help you triumph in your adventures: Runes! Runic powers Runes come in the form of small stones that drop after you slay powerful enemies, such as mini bosses and giants. You may also come across them while clearing a crystal room, or when taking down the elite enemies added in the previous patch. Should you choose to pick up a rune, they will bestow an upgrade upon Arthur's stats, such as his HP or movement speed, granting you better chances of surviving your battles against fearsome foes! Make your choice Sometimes, runes will drop in a group of two, or even three. It's up to you to choose the rune that fits your battle plans best. Should you go for more critical damage, or perhaps go for strengthening your sword attack? It's up to you to make the most out of the runes at hand. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/38537648/21f8a6a22d9fdebeef106220ec28a84b2c3987bd.png See below for the full list of features and fixes coming with the new update: Update 1.0.5 New Feature:

• Implemented the new Runes mechanic
• Runes are collectible items that will occasionally drop after the player defeats certain enemies or clears certain rooms
• Runes have various effects that will temporarily increase Arthur's stats while inside the dungeon

Improvements & Balancing:

• Improved minion AI behaviour
• Displayed minion stagger bar below their health bar (minions can now be staggered after filling their stagger bars with attacks and certain skills)
• Minor performance improvement
• Added more elite enemy attack patterns

We hope the rune system will make your journey into the Astral Dimension even more satisfying and exciting, as you can further equip Arthur with the tools you need to emerge victorious. Give it a try and we'll see you soon with more updates. As always, if you do have any comments or issues please let us know via the Steam forums or alternatively join our Discord where we’ll be happy to chat! Fare thee well! Gambir Studio & PQube

Welcome back, knights!

It’s been almost a month since the release of Knight vs Giant: The Broken Excalibur and we hope you’ve been enjoying your adventures with King Arthur, Merlin, and the Knights of the Round Table in our legendary action roguelite! Over the past few weeks, we’ve been working hard on improving the game and we’d like to thank you all for your feedback and support so far, it really means a lot! We did however notice a lot of your comments relating to Morgana and her associated blessings and curses, so today, we’re excited to be releasing the new content update 1.0.4 that reworks how these mechanics function in-game alongside the introduction of elite enemies, and a number of balancing improvements and bug fixes! A matter of balance Originally Morgana’s blessings and curses were designed to be completely randomised and unrelated to one another, but with this new update they will always be generated in pairs to ensure a more balanced trade-off between the good and the bad. In addition, when encountering Morgana during a run, Arthur will be given a preview of the blessing and curse combination before making his choice. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/38537648/cae8b089637e0ce018e0d7a867c057ec295377d7.png New perils await The new blessing and curse combinations will also change gameplay more dramatically, offsetting greater benefits with higher but more appropriately calculated risks. Some examples of the new curses offered to you by Morgana include “Parched” which will result in health fountains drying out, and “Drunk” which causes Arthur to dash in reverse! But fear not! Enjoy discovering numerous new blessings including buffs to dash distance, skill damage, killing minions with one hit, and much more! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/38537648/4ae70d9db9343d80bf2dc9b8d7832da3be86f25c.gif The bigger the better As you get stronger, so will your enemies! Get ready for the elite minions! These variations of the common minion are equipped with two HP bars and cannot be staggered or knocked away by your attacks before the first bar has been broken. Beware, some of the elite are equipped with vicious attack variations compared to their regular counterparts, so you better start training! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/38537648/c649b796d2f47819aa26a139b00868d6ef7f96e5.png See below for the full list of features and fixes coming with the new update: Update 1.0.4 New content:

• Revamped Morgana's curse and blessing system. 20 new curse and blessing pairings have been added
• Curses/blessings now come in pairs, offering different playstyles and greater risk-and-reward

With just one week to go until the release of Knight vs Giant: The Broken Excalibur, we wanted to provide you with a little round-up of all our previous Steam updates, so you are caught up just in time for launch on the 5th of October!

The Story So Far

The tale of Camelot and its destruction by the devious Void Giant is a tragic one. Don’t fret, we have prepared a handy recap of everything that has happened before the beginning of your quest, from the Knights of the Round Table’s mission to seek the Holy Grail to Camelot’s unfortunate banishment to the Astral Dimension. Watch as the wizard Merlin recounts the tale in the Knight vs Giant: The Broken Excalibur opening cinematic below and refresh your memory!

Enemies and Realms

Now that you’re all caught up with the story of our fantasy action roguelite, let’s have another look at the realms and enemies of the Astral Dimension. First up is Brochalant Forest, the verdant forest area with lush trees and bubbling ponds inhabited by pesky little creatures. From the enormous Mushler to the vicious Stinglead, the forest is out to get you! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/38537648/a46edcf8e32b47cfa6b5436ea8a41339a50fcf83.gif Should you make it out alive, you’ll reach Sarrache Desert, a barren wasteland filled with mountains of bones and bothersome monsters. Best avoid creatures like the Pincoid, a luminous, sharp-sheared beetle on a quest to strike you down, or the Stombelisk which could attack you from above at any moment. Enter the most challenging area yet! Suidhe Forest is not only overflowing with dangerous streams of steaming lava but is also teaming with lethal enemies, such as the Infernix or the Baramander which will leave behind a trail of fire or send blazing projectiles your way. Only the bravest of knights make it out of here alive.

Shops and NPCs

Between runs, you will find yourself back in the kingdom surrounded by citizens you have previously rescued on your quest – and they are eager to help you in return. Meet the builders! Once recruited, they’ll be able to help you restore buildings on the castle grounds. As you rebuild its ruins, watch your kingdom level rise, and unlock even more updates, buildings, and advancements! The blacksmith, Tabuchet, on the other hand, will be happy to get to work in his workshop and, in exchange for a small price, upgrade a sword of your choice and increase its stats. There are many more colourful characters you will meet and recruit on your journey, from the Hunter looking to reward you for your work clearing the dungeons and the Gem Merchants granting you stat and ability improvements, to the Tarot Reader eager to reveal your fate! Find them all, seek their help, and soon you will be unstoppable! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/38537648/98595a11e5e53530093d8f542f7a35cda7534c68.png

The Knights of the Round Table

Your fellow knights may have perished but their powers remain, waiting to be stored in your broken Excalibur! Harness their powers and find out all there is to know about their weapons, and mechanics below.

Mini Bosses

Think you’ve got what it takes to beat Knight vs Giant: The Broken Excalibur? First, you’ll have to get past its vicious mini bosses! Battle your way through the realms and encounter numerous randomly determined mini bosses such as the Toadstool Monarch of Brochalant Forest. With an abundance of attacks up its fungal sleeve, it will unleash its minions to distract you while leaping toward you spawning an expanding, damaging ring! Each area comes with its own set of mini bosses – dodge the deadly lasers of the Arcane Monolith in the Sarrache Desert or escape the volcanic explosions the Moltencore Golem aims at you in the Suidhe Volcano. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/38537648/7470412957e6dcac52b5857132804723678266f8.gif

Dungeon Features and Non-Recruitable

Need a little assistance to maximise your chances of survival during your run? Explore the different areas of the realms and you will encounter various dungeon features like the Knight Statues and the Round Tables granting you upgrades and skills, or the Healing Fountains alongside many inhabitants of Camelot. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/38537648/20fa5e2623256dc12cdf9cf21151b49cf3791f41.gif Speak to the witch Morgana to gain a valuable blessing in exchange for a deadly curse, visit the merchant Assam to purchase potions and vitality boosters or ornaments and pendants increasing your attack speed and damage, and face the mysterious Pan Piper’s challenges and survive hordes of dangerous enemies!

Giants

It is finally time to face off against the legendary giants protecting their realms. When the Void Giant’s soul broke into three colossal aspects, the giants broke free and will now do anything in their power to prevent you from successfully completing your mission. To defeat the Forest Giant, Planterra Gigas, dodge its intense attacks, violent stomps and destructive punches and move onto the next level. Move onto the desert realm and you’ll reach the Primal Dryland Sloth in no time. Don’t be fooled by its appearance or you might get surprised by its vicious attacks, fast projectiles, and unpredictable gusts of wind. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/38537648/baa9af3e491e992a9570f5aced35da042500da61.gif That’s it, knights, you’re all caught up on Knight vs Giant: The Broken Excalibur’s features and mechanics, just in time for when the game launches on October 5th!

Good morrow, brave knights! We are coming to you again with another feature spotlight for Knight vs Giant: The Broken Excalibur! This week, it is finally time to get to know some of the legendary giants you’ll be doing battle with! You may have heard the tales of how Camelot ended up in the Astral Dimension, but did you know that, when the kingdom separated itself from Earth in a violent explosion, the forces ripped apart the Void Giant in the process? As the mighty colossus broke into three pieces, it created the giants we know today, each one guarding its own domain. To reach them and put an end to their terror, you’ll first need to traverse their respective realms and defeat the mini-boss at each level’s mid-point. With these encounters being randomised each run, you’ll never know who or what to expect! Once you have successfully bested a realm you’ll come face-to-face with its ruling giant, let’s have a look then at the first two that you will encounter on your quest to save the kingdom and its citizens! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/38537648/790748e30de5666c57fd61ea7da46fc18a6a967a.png Planterra Gigas You will first encounter the Forest Giant soon after you have been resurrected and, despite all your best efforts, you will be promptly defeated. Reason enough to seek revenge! Hack your way through Brochalant Forest and you will find the gigantic monster waiting for you. Planterra Gigas’ attacks will get more intense with every hit, moving from stomps and punches to violent battle cries that call upon vicious minions . Watch out for signs of its next attack or you’ll get buried underneath a heavy boulder in no time. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/38537648/e850f45c9be63e0fea10d7bafb91245a6c55255b.gif {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/38537648/4810b71a45d483caf2df9da845ed7dc45893787e.png Primal Dryland Sloth Don’t be fooled by its appearance, this gigantic desert sloth is a lot more powerful than you might think, and, on top of that, it’s viciously unpredictable. Its enormous size will cause unimaginable damage to your health as it rolls and jumps towards you. Once you think you’ve learned how to sufficiently avoid these attacks, be aware of any minions sent your way to distract you while it launches projectiles, summons gusts of wind, and envelops your body in destructive tornados! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/38537648/baa9af3e491e992a9570f5aced35da042500da61.gif Now that you know what to expect, it might be time to start practising your sword skills; these giants won’t be defeated easily!

Good day, dear knights! You have now learned of the realms and enemies you will encounter in Knight vs Giant: The Broken Excalibur, but you might still need some help traversing the unpredictable vastness of the Astral Dimension. Today we’ll teach you how to maximise your chances of survival and best use what Camelot's more ‘nomadic’ citizens have to offer to your advantage. Explore the different areas of the realms as you enter their various dungeon areas. As you clear the dungeon of enemies and progress further through the realm, you will soon encounter some interesting map features, such as the Knight Statues and the Round Tables which grant you upgrades and skills, or the Healing Fountains alongside many interesting inhabitants of Camelot. Here’s all you need to know about Knight vs Giant: The Broken Excalibur’s non-recruitable characters, and one very special feature which will come in handy before your big battle against the giants!

Morgana – The Witch

Similar to the other non-recruitable NPCs, Morgana is not bound to one realm. She’ll often magically appear just when you need her. Should you come across her camp, she will offer you an almost irresistible deal: Gain a valuable blessing to aid you on your journey, but in return, you must accept a deadly curse! Both blessing and curse are entirely randomised and might be restricted to certain areas or weapons. This could mean that you receive a curse which will only have an effect in the desert area or a blessing limited to Gawain’s sword. Will you take the risk? {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/38537648/5cab406f4494d1303c709855f7526c67b36df9b0.gif

Assam – The Merchant

Need to stock up? Find the travelling merchant Assam in all three areas of the map, and he’ll gladly help you. In exchange for Soul Orbs, he will present his items to you. From potions and vitality boosters restoring and maximising your health to ornaments and pendants increasing attack speed and damage - Assam has the right item in stock for you. Bear in mind that most of his shop items are randomised and while he always carries potions and knight tokens, he must keep up with the ever-changing demand and switches his other stock regularly. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/38537648/20fa5e2623256dc12cdf9cf21151b49cf3791f41.gif

Pan Piper

Find the mysterious Pan Piper if you want to prove yourself worthy - and earn a hefty reward. Like the previous two characters, you can encounter this sinister figure in all three realms waiting for you to attempt his challenge. Should you accept, you must survive a horde of vicious enemies set on keeping victory from you. Survive and you will receive an abundance of Gold and Soul Orbs which will allow you to purchase upgrades and items aiding you on your quest. Although this sounds like an irresistible deal, it might cost you your life, and the Pan Piper somehow does not seem to mind at all ... Are you ready to face the challenge? {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/38537648/26d5ff046e283210e3979923770d9553c4f5e23c.gif

The Holy Fountain

The realms and their inhabitants can be tough on you and deplete your health more rapidly than you’d like. That’s when the Holy Fountains, or healing fountains, come in handy! Approach it and interact with the fountain to regain health when you need it most. A little tip, if you find the fountain early during exploration, save its healing powers for when you need them most, ideally before a boss battle – timing your healing can be critical for your survival! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/38537648/3d1feed82b601a14e747129f4708ec492253780b.gif Now that you are all set to explore the Astral Dimension, why not give our Knight vs Giant: The Broken Excalibur demo a go?

Welcome back, knights! Defeating the Void Giant will be no easy feat! First you will also have to face fearsome guardians who will do anything to protect the three colossal aspects of the Void Giant’s soul from harm (most likely inflicted by your sword...) Nevertheless, you must restore order in Camelot! Battle your way through the realms to encounter randomly determined mini bosses guarding the portal to the next area. In a previous post we taught you everything you need to know about the Astral Dimension’s realms and enemies, and today we’ll be introducing you to some of mini bosses you will meet during your quest in Knight vs Giant: The Broken Excalibur!

The Toadstool Monarch

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/38537648/0ab94053ccc1c2d6486293ec54883714d4764e3f.png The Toadstool Monarch, has an abundance of attacks up his fungal sleeve. The most royal of mini bosses, will unleash its minions to distract you while leaping toward you spawning an expanding, damaging ring! Just when you think you have almost defeated this king of the forest, he’ll release a spore shoot which will have you running for your life! Have you got what it takes to beat him before the fiery spores and annihilating stomps will bring you to your knees? {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/38537648/ed571de45491a8b35c84ec4822694bd83dd269df.gif

The Arcane Monolith

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/38537648/c866c8698df143ecff0d6dbffea7ebe72fa15025.png Make sure not to get burned in the Sarrache Desert! The Arcane Monolith won't shy away from using its deadly lasers to chase you around the arena. They are difficult to dodge and will make it particularly tricky for Arthur to strike! Its attacks will get more and more vicious with phase one consisting of a slow-rotating laser which will soon begin shooting from the sky and charge towards the player in a complicated pattern! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/38537648/b1d02708bb5eb134737fc989002b085b2a15a257.gif

The Moltencore Golem

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/38537648/f9f26c3c5c7b91b81a486897934feb532dbf9cd2.png This most gigantic of mini bosses won’t go easy on you. Do not be fooled, brave knight, this glowing rock monster is just as evil as it looks! You won’t have time to catch your breath when the Moltencore Golem directs volcanic explosions and forceful swipes at you. Keep an eye out for its devastating punches, this might be the last mini boss you have to defeat before your ultimate victory, so you don’t want to be failing now! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/38537648/7470412957e6dcac52b5857132804723678266f8.gif Don’t worry, these aren’t all the mini boss encounters you will have to face, as depending on how your run goes, and on how many times you will have to be resurrected, you will meet a variety of vicious monsters who will make your run a living hell... Want to try it out for yourself? Why not play our official Knight vs Giant: The Broken Excalibur demo and prove you’re worthy of your knightly title! And if defeating monsters yourself is not enough for you, or you simply need a word of advice, chat to other knights in our official Discord server. Fare thee well and until next time! Gambir Studio

Welcome to Camelot! The once glorious kingdom is your place to recover and rest from your turbulent adventures. Here you will find the citizens you have recruited on your run and returned to their rightful homes. However, they will now need your help restoring their houses and shops after Camelot's destruction. Gather resources and currency on your journey to help the citizens and restore the kingdom before it can be transported back to reality. In exchange, Camelot’s residents will offer to aid you on your quest. Let’s meet some of the characters you will recruit on your mission to save the kingdom and who will help you return it to its former grandeur! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/38537648/7d6550808a0e833573a672bef9ecd07c90f3d89b.png First and foremost, there’s no building without the builders! Although you might not always speak the same language (quite literally), these little creatures will be eager to help you … as long as you pay them. Recruit them when you find them on your run and approach them on the castle grounds to restore the buildings of Camelot. As you rebuild its ruins, watch your kingdom level rise, and unlock even more updates, buildings, and advancements to your environment as you collect crystals and gold. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/38537648/23826fefb9a6a7d5746a87efd352cd37316de719.gif {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/38537648/75391cbfef055a67251679bb19215fd22605ff8c.png Now that the builders are ready to go, you guessed it, it’s time to build! Soon, you will come across more characters on your quests, like the Blacksmith, Trabuchet, the best in his craft. Once you have restored his workshop, he’ll be happy to get to work and, in exchange for a small price, upgrade a sword (or several) of your choice and increase its stats, such as damage, speed, or critical chance. Collect gold and Giant Crystals to unlock even more level upgrades and improve your weapons further! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/38537648/3a39615ba4271361ba119f89c2a37333981938a7.gif {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/38537648/a7e336c735efaebfe8cf835197b340b16707c1a7.png Camelot wouldn’t be Camelot without its hunter! Find Medea in Brochalant Forest and return her safely to the kingdom. Pop by to have a chat and make sure to restore her hunting base, Willowtail Cabin. She’ll return to work immediately but might rely on your help. Seek her out and she will task you with defeating enemy species and giants alike. In exchange for a successful hunt, you will be sure to receive a hefty reward. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/38537648/ac8514e29476d16d29f45648e78c168c53b39a73.gif {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/38537648/068fa0e9e0c7a296624b8ee23d81bdff0b1b637b.png Need to improve your stats and abilities? Unlock kingdom level three and search the desert and volcano realm for Lord Arden, Camelot’s gem merchant, and Tamara, the kingdom’s gem enchanter. The House of Arden and its future competitor Tamara’s Enchantment are now awaiting their much-needed restoration, so Camelot can soon again benefit from their first-class gems. Choose one of seven gems initially - a second slot will unlock upon updating the merchant shop - and increase damage dealt, health, movement speed, or critical damage! Tamara can upgrade your gem of choice and enhance their effects. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/38537648/59ed139096869cf9d027dc9cc4784362f700001c.gif {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/38537648/8e194c4a1628a6851db8ad67f105589c3b4a4191.png Finally, let me introduce you to the most mysterious of the bunch, Sandra. Find the Tarot reader in the forest once you have reached kingdom level four. Rebuild her hut of mysteries and seek its blessings yourself. She will present you with up to ten cards, out of which you can select up to six per run, each granting you a positive or negative effect. Let her magic guide you to victory. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/38537648/7fd926bcb5564eecf0051a13e4debe7750a1a396.gif Hmm… there seem to be even more empty buildings waiting for their rightful owners’ return, and who is supposed to restore those knight sculptures? You might want to keep an eye out on your adventures, and who knows, maybe you’ll come across the remaining kingdom folk. Want to find out all there is to know about Knight vs. Giant?

Good morrow, brave knight!

Remember the story of how the glorious kingdom of Camelot came to be transported into the Astral Dimension? It’s been a while, so I better refresh your memory, you don’t want to be missing any details when we introduce you to the realms of the Astral Dimension and its pesky inhabitants. To cut a long story short, in messing around with the Holy Grail, the Knights of the Round Table ripped apart the fabric of time and space and opened a portal to the Astral Dimension releasing the monstrous Void Giant. As a resurrected Arthur, it is now on you to traverse the realms of the Astral Dimension surrounding the kingdom and defeat the enemies and giants occupying them to defeat the mysterious Void Giant once and for all and return Camelot to its rightful place on Earth. Are you all caught up? Then let’s have a look at the Astral Dimension’s realms and the creatures standing in the way of your victory!

Brochalant Forest

First up, Brochalant Forest! Jump through the portal in the centre of Camelot and you’ll swiftly be transported to the verdant forest area complete with lush trees, bubbling ponds and … heinous woodland creatures. Swarming with nefarious enemies, this first area is not nearly as serene as it may seem. The forest is out to get you! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/38537648/a46edcf8e32b47cfa6b5436ea8a41339a50fcf83.gif Watch out and observe your environment or you’ll soon be surrounded by fiends like the enormous Mushler. Don’t get distracted or it will leap toward you in full force spawning a damaging ring upon landing and squashing you with its full might. And just when you think you’ve got it all under control, you will be hit by the flaming stinger of a Stinglead! In a vicious ranged attack, it fires projectiles your way with deadly accuracy! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/38537648/71a468befbc89e76f48aff5466630372fd44d40a.png

Sarrache Desert

Congratulations, you have survived the first realm! Unfortunately, the kingdom won’t save itself and there is no time to take a break. Leave the grassy woodland behind and be transported to the Sarrache Desert where even the cacti are trying to strike you down. Traverse this barren wasteland, move past mountains of bones and crush its bothersome inhabitants with your mighty blade. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/38537648/4cd3abed71280fc21f3b168a16320eb4e842e8aa.gif The desert shows no mercy and neither does the Pincoid. The luminous, sharp-sheared beetle will bind itself to you, never letting you out of sight in its quest to hunt and strike you down. You’ll be stalked on the ground as well as from above! Keep an eye out for the Stombelisk’s rectangular shadow haunting you and tracking your every move, it might come crashing down on you at any moment, so you better move around quickly! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/38537648/ef211e75bbebfc4ba3b5d5007db9c2be90badaba.png

Suidhe Volcano

Did you make it out of the desert without being stomped to dust? Don’t worry, the worst is yet to come. Enter the Suidhe Volcano and try not to get burned. Overflowing with dangerous streams of steaming lava emitting toxic fumes, this last area is the most challenging yet! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/38537648/3a6adc3467490640c8da5ed3839d6b25e8368e91.gif Its creatures have adapted to this lethal environment, with some preferring to stay off the ground and causing havoc from above like the Infernix. Charging towards you, it’ll leave behind a trail of fire which is sure to set you aflame. Not even death is a match for these persistent winged creatures. They will lay an egg should they perish in battle and, if you don’t keep an eye on them, they’ll be reborn in no time, ready to challenge you again. Oh, what’s that cute little creature? Don’t be fooled by the Baramander’s adorable face or you’ll soon have to dodge one of their blazing projectiles or avoid their fire trail. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/38537648/f9ce6e5f63b7361b90e5e0ef1b25bce71e799943.png Did the Pincoid and his friends get you and send you back to Castle Camelot? Thanks to Merlin’s magic, you’ll be resurrected in no time and can enter the forest again. In Knight vs Giant: The Broken Excalibur no two runs are ever the same, so try again to beat the Astral Dimension’s foes on a new procedurally generated map, maybe this time you’ll be in luck. Think you have got what it takes to beat the Brochalant Forest, Sarrache Desert, and Suidhe Forest? Draw your swords and test your skills – the Prologue is available to play now!

Welcome back, dear knights!

You have been told of the legendary tale of Camelot, its courageous king and the brave Knights of the Round Table but now it is on you and your broken Excalibur to change Camelot’s fate and return the once dazzling kingdom to its former glory ... with a little help from your loyal friends. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/38537648/fa3975425b1b7e6e7e2907dde7110f0a18999351.png Upon your arrival in Astral Camelot, you will stumble upon statues of the Knights of the Round. Approach them and soon you will discover that although they themselves have perished, their souls and, more importantly, their powers remain within their statues. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/38537648/9c45749cbeed47be7032968a464ce86937612549.gif The knights will stand with you in death as they did in life and grant you unique powers and skills to defeat the gigantic enemies standing in your way. You will be able to equip the sword of your chosen knight, infuse your broken Excalibur with its power and choose a skill to aid you on your mission before each run.

Upgrades and Unveiling New Knights

While you are initially only able to interact with your knightly companions Lancelot and Bors, you’ll find ways to unlock the statues and powers of all six of your fellow knights. Search for each knight's memento on your adventure and seek out Amethryst, the sculptor, who will help you affix them to its respective statue. As soon as they have been reconstructed, you'll be able to access the knights' powerful skills and swords. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/38537648/37ef7e42ba57609861bbbf418cc859d513cd802f.gif On your missions you may come across the statues of your selected knights. Interact with them after you've cleared an area of enemies to choose a weapon or skill upgrade from three random blessings and become unstoppable. You have slayed many giants with Lancelot's sword Arondight but can't seem to get the hang of his Thunder Strike skill? Don't fret, young knight, combine skills and weapons from different knights depending on you preferred play style or strategy! There are no limits to your greatness!

The Knights, Their Weapons, and Skills

Choosing the right weapon and skill is an important task for a knight. To help you make the right decisions, we'll be introducing you to four Knights of the Round Table, their weapons, and skills below! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/38537648/1ae8ebfc21b96f970c39fee9dbfdd0a01c926ce2.png Starting off strong with the great and mighty Lancelot. His is one of the first statues presented to you after your resurrection, and for good reason. His art of swordsmanship is mirrored in his weapon, Arondight, which focusses on balance and caters to all styles of combat. With medium damage and medium speed, this is the perfect starter weapon! Looking for an electrifying skill to put enemies in their place? Equip the Thunder Strike skill to summon forth the might of thunder and lightning to strike down anyone standing in your way. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/38537648/6fcbcdc2d208be8d21b7e1a78fbc6b4cfb43fd54.png Prefer to attack from a distance? Smart choice - so does Bors! With his throwing knife, Galeholt, you can catch your foes off guard from afar. Although it causes less damage than the swords of some of the other Knights of the Round Table, it offers you the advantage of observing and attacking from safety due to its long range. When necessary, Bors' Slicing Orbits skill allows you to get closer to your enemies while minimising damage. In manipulating the force of gravity, he creates a deadly circle of blades around you. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/38537648/4dd5addd8314e5d036012bb3a1bb0d2c2748f67e.png Find a piece of his armour to unlock the statue of Bedivere, unmatched in strength and greatness. His mighty Sword of Camlann, is yours to claim. Although slow, when used just right, this greatsword will bring about damage like no other. Combine the power of any sword with Bedivere's Shockwave skill and cause a destructive wave knocking down any enemies set out to harm you! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/38537648/69fdee55fd84648d2b29a60819be0811d709eacf.png Seeking a blade as beautiful as it is deadly? Approach Gawain's newly unlocked statue to choose his poison sabre, Galantine. Seemingly harmless on a glance, this venomous weapon has been imbued with poison infecting even the grandest of giants. Gawain's green thumb doesn't end there, equip his Orchid of Malice skill to grow the most toxic of flowers that will lead any enemy to their demise. Unveil the two remaining knights to find out all there is to know about them - we don't want to spoil the fun for you here, brave knight! If you want to get a head start and begin practicing with Lancelot and Bors, the Knight vs Giant: The Broken Excalibur - Prologue is available to play now! Also if you enjoy the Prologue please do leave us a Steam review, it helps us a lot! Get ready to draw your weapon of choice, become invincible and save the kingdom of Camelot! Fare thee well!

Good morrow, courageous knights!

Thou hast fought so bravely and defeated great evil in our demo, it is now time to rest for a moment before you raise your swords once more. Come hither and listen closely, friends, as I tell you the story of Camelot and its terrible fate, of how the Knights of the Round Table rose to defend their kingdom and tragically perished.

The Fate of the Kingdom

Long before tragedy struck, at the beginning of all things, the great Architect took it upon himself to create the world we now call our home. He soon moved this monumental creation – his most magnificent yet – to its own dimension, far away from the Astral Dimension which housed our world as it was built. Shortly after, the Architect sealed the realm with the Holy Grail, the one artefact which would soon bring about the downfall of our legendary kingdom. Only a few remember the tale of Camelot’s creation today, though many celebrate its rise to fame and glory. Much of this triumph we owe to Merlin, the most powerful wizard in the realm, who, in harnessing a foreign yet potent power, aided our beloved King Arthur’s ascension to the throne. Did you know, dear friends, that Merlin had a hand in the congregation of the Knights of the Round Table? ‘Twas he who entrusted them with the mission to seek the Holy Grail … if only he had known then the cost of their success. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/38537648/9b89b83065720b7fb496c51f2c23e650d38ee324.png Our fearless knights did as they were told, discovered the Holy Grail, opened a portal to the Astral Dimension and … well, the rest is history. Perchance you remember the moment disaster struck as the Void Giant emerged. The courageous Knights of the Round rose to protect and defend the kingdom, to protect its people … but to no avail. Our dear king fought bravely but as the nefarious giant tore down our glorious kingdom, he too perished – and earthly Camelot was no more. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/38537648/ba8ea90da1844190c0bdcc726c82d0166bb80af5.png With his last remaining powers, Merlin saved our lives, sending us to the Astral Dimension along with what remained of our beauteous home. Some blabbermouths insist his actions were merely accidental … but do not listen to such slander. Since our arrival in this realm, I heard tales, of not one but three giants roaming this realm. Though, you mustn’t worry about such rumours, dear knights, after all, wise Merlin has found a way to resurrect our king who will save us all.

The Ruins of Camelot

‘Tis what remains of our Camelot for now. It may not be much but do not let your eyes fool you – we shall rebuild what has been destroyed, mayhap you can help us. Return as often as you like, to rest, regain strength or better your weapons. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/38537648/3c8420dfc5a7ef29c077c93105a8d414dacf40f8.gif Prithee, before you head into battle, you must train! Seek our demo and prologue for thy pleasure and practice and share triumphs with your fellow knights on our Discord. Fare thee well, young knights! We wish you the best of luck on your journey.
