Description

About the Game

Sir Lionstone, the most powerful knight and protector of the great city of Clesseia, hasn’t returned from his latest quest. As Sir Lionstone’s trusted knightling, it is up to you and the legendary shield he left behind to become the hero the people need and find Lionstone before lurking threats endanger the realm. Explore the many regions and secrets of the lands of Clesseia, fend off bandits and monsters, and uncover the truth of the shield’s unparalleled power and the realm’s illustrious past.

All Heroes Start Small

Play as the Knightling, a knight-in-training whose loyalty and determination sets them off on a grand adventure to find their knight. With solely a shield in hand, you’ll utilize and upgrade your training and arsenal of abilities to overcome obstacles, help citizens and prove that you’re worthy of knighthood.

The Best Offense Is a Good Defense

Left with just Sir Lionstone’s shield, which contains a mysterious element called Callyrium, it is up to the Knightling to harness its power and become the next legendary hero. Leverage the shields natural defensive power to block, parry, and create ideal openings, then leverage big attacks and combos to finish off foes.

Slide Into Adventure

Set off on your adventure across multiple regions of Clesseia with the power of your shield to help you along! Traverse and platform to various areas to earn valuable praise used in upgrades, or use the shield’s various movement abilities to make getting around easier. Though probably beneath a legendary shield’s reputation, no one is stopping you from sliding all across the land!

Beautiful little indie game that feels just like a classic ps2 adventure game, the art direction is fantastic and the music is out of this world. I'm sad to finish this game, for it was made out of pure love. Props to

Combat brings this game from like a 7 or 8 to a 3. Combat is miserable, clunky, slow, and you die in 3 hits while the game piles clumps of 10 enemies on you to fight at once. Miserable experience.

Great game. Little rough around the edges. Good open word. Exploring and platforming are really fun. Combat is fun with combos and options, but enemy hitboxes can be wonky(in terms of parrying) and spawns can be

Might post a longer review of this later, but for now I'm going to keep it short. Definitely feels like a hidden gem. Is the game perfect? No. But for the price point any shortcomings can be forgiven. The controls
