About the Game

Broken Armor is an arcade style action game where you navigate your way through rooms full of traps and creatures to reach the exit. Your weapons are limited so you need to decide whether it's worth it to use them.

Story:

This is the story of an inept knight who wears a suit of plate armor that isn't quite up to the task. Exiled from the kingdom of Slambonia for his incompetence, he is tasked with finding the holy grail if he is to return. Unfortunately, he is usually too busy fending off pests to worry about actual combat.

Features:

  • Classic style graphics and game play like something you'd see on a 5.25" floppy disk.

  • Many floors filled with vermin, hazards, and bosses to stumble your way through.

  • Different every time you play.

  • Fast paced and unforgiving. Improve yourself with each attempt.

  • Includes the playable mage DLC.
