Knight of Exile is a running, jumping and combat game where you play Cormac, the commander of the royal guard fighting to return from exile to restore order to the kingdom. It's unusual because of the combat mechanics that require players to react quickly and combine attacks.

You progress through labyrinths and over worlds where various enemies and environmental puzzles block your way. The action is snappy and you combine your jumping and running with attacks to gain advantage over enemies. Landing blows accurately and pulling off combination attacks more quickly dispatches those in your path.

Later on you are granted a wider selection of weapons and the areas to explore grown in size. What starts as a simple knight's tale, grows into an epic challenge where combat and platforming combine.
