In a dying world dominated by machines, use the powers of nature to explore a diverse landscape and devastate your foes in this action-driven metroidvania. As humanity's last hope, the BirdKnight must learn the truth behind the mysterious Heart of the World and restore life to the land.
BirdKnight
SteamBirdKnight is an action-packed metroidvania game inspired by themes of the environment, sustainability and the threat of irreversible destruction.
Mechanical beings corrupted by a powerful ancient race have destroyed all life. Prior to humanity's demise, a resistance group bio-engineered a hero - the BirdKnight - their last hope to face the machines and restore balance. Too little, too late, as humans perished before BirdKnight could be awakened.
Saving the humans is no longer an option. But BirdKnight's mission is still clear - activate the full potential of its unique combat and animal spirit-infused powers to eliminate the machines and bring life back to this vast and dying world, where only the strongest have survived.
Play as BirdKnight, the last vestige of the natural living world. Wield your weapon, The Vine, to decimate your foes and exploit their weaknesses using a variety of exciting combat abilities. Access other-wordly powers harnessing the essence of nature - unleash the spirit of the wolf and other animals to enhance your innate potential.
This once vibrant world is now overrun by machines and their corrupt technology. Uncover the mysteries behind the machine uprising and the Heart of the World, and access the realm of spirits, where those from the past return to help, and sometimes hinder, your quest.
Immerse yourself in the emotive sonic experience crafted by Zak Knight. Different player states lead to clever dynamic changes in music and audio to truly tailor the game experience to each player.
Allow the beautiful and striking hand-drawn art by Tristan Tait further immerse you in the world of the BirdKnight, and its secrets.
