About the Game

Knight Runner: Blade and Bolt is a simple, top-down, endless runner where you must fight your way through a monster-infested forest, dodging traps, collecting powerups, and timing your strikes to compete for a spot on the global leaderboard.

There is no meta-progression here — the only goal is to make it as far through the forest as you can!

Chain kills to trigger the multiplier and reach new high scores.



Play with keyboard and mouse, or a controller.



Collect upgrades and powerups from chests while fighting thirteen types of monsters.
