CrankyTemplar | Knights of the Road Demo | Upcoming Retro Platformer (No Commentary) @CrankyTemplar | Uploaded May 2024 | Updated October 2024, 4 minutes ago.
A demo playthrough of Knights of the Road, where a bandit and a fairy rob rich people and are drawn into an adventure of fairy abduction as an excuse to rob more folks. But the real banditry are the damn wizards who charge obscene prices to save your game.

Looks like a fun retro platformer with a good bit of pogoing and shield mechanics. If you're not used to the fun retro mechanics like knockback when taking damage and instant death pits this might be a bit frustrating. As well, it costs mana to throw your shield. On the plus side, when you get shunted back to the last wizard you paid to save with upon death you keep all progress and items. There's also an easy mode but I'm not sure what that changes.
