About
12th Century, medieval Tuscany, a land rich in history and legend.
It's here that the tale is told of a man who loved the pleasures of life and the company of women. He chose the military path, soon becoming a knight. For many years he lived carefree, committing dishonorable deeds, until he became a wandering knight.
One night, after yet another raid, Saint Michael appeared to him in a dream, urging him to redeem himself and walk the righteous path.
The following morning, Galgano, this was his name, chose to save his soul. He took his sword and, as a sign of redemption, drove it into the ground, embedding it in solid rock.
Thus began his life as a hermit.
Years passed. The world changed and fell into darkness, lust, and corruption…and Galgano’s soul changed with it.
Slowly, he returned to his old ways, raids, brawls over trivial matters, acts of arrogance and cruelty.
It did not take long for him to find himself in trouble once again, lost, alone, abandoned…
…and so, the story repeats itself…
...are you ready to become a knight?

Initial play thoughts. I only had 2 hours into this to play around with this and so far I am having fun. When initially started, It started slow and thought this shouldn't be bad, then it cranked up a little and got more difficult. Not impossible to do, but you learn by doing and seeing how to control. The game is still early access so there are a few quirks that I have faith they will correct. I plan to play and see what more trouble I can get into as we move Sir Galgano through the levels. Additional play time. So this game isn't like many that i have played. It isn't a button masher. You have to manage your stamina and health during the battle. Getting used to parry and timed attacks to have better chances during battle is important. I am loving the game because it is different then other side scrollers i played.
Unless im not understanding something the stamina system needs to be improved I had to max out stamina regen level 3 and I still wasn't regening it fast enough to do a single fight, everything uses stamina so I can't parry unless I want to wait even longer to attack. Enemies can dodge my attacks wasting that precious stamina making fights take even longer. You can rebind the controls so its not a huge deal but the default controls use the number keys for example number 7 on the number pad is your basic attack 0 is your parry. I can't play the game with how the stamina works currently its too slow it makes every fight tedious and then I have to wait for all the stamina to come back after every fight too.
Cheap hits, getting mobbed, getting hit when stuck in a move sequence, Poor Hit detection, Poor demanding performance (using a rtx 4090). This game just isn't for me , it's frustration after frustration.
