Knight Terrors coming to the Nintendo Switch in time for Halloween

Announced today by Nicalis and Freak Zone Games, Knight Terrors is an arcade side-scrolling action game in the vein of 8-bit classics like Shovel Knight.  The cult-hit churning publisher announced Knight Terrors today via the epic trailer you see above. Be sure to check it out when it launches on the Switch eshop on October 24th… in time for your tricks and treats.

From the release:

Knight Terrors depicts the horrifying adventures of a mysterious suit of armor known only as “The Knight.” Armed with a mighty sword and equipped with blood-red wings that allow flight, the Knight desperately races through the countryside in the darkest of the night, never stopping for any respite or consideration. He must face and vanquish a never-ending onslaught of bloodthirsty ghouls, flaming skulls and unspeakable horrors while jumping over spiked pits and flying through small gaps. If he takes three hits or allows three enemies to pass, it’s “Game Over.”

Knight Terrors goes straight for the jugular, engaging players immediately with simple two-button controls, retina-searing sprite graphics and frantic neo-classical chiptunes. Special effects like screen shaking and time stopping magnify the impact of every enemy interaction. Once you’re hooked, the game keeps pulling you back in with earned power-ups, multiple unlockable game modes and high score tracking. What’s more, the procedurally generated levels ensure unlimited replayability—it’s a different game each and every time you play.
