New plot revealed! The intertwined fates of the three characters
This plot trailer is narrated by the mysterious character Quigely, revealing the background stories of the three controllable characters and further explaining the game’s worldview.
- Knight: This is no ordinary knight, but an ancient armor made by a lost god. It is controlled by a powerful magician and has amazing power.
- Gold: A mean-mouthed and arrogant cyborg who specializes in handling extremely high-risk secret missions for the city government and possesses a variety of high-tech weapons.
- Gladius: A battleship carrying survivors from a space colony destroyed by aliens. His only goal is – revenge!
- These three people were called together because of some kind of dimensional rift to face an unknown powerful evil force. Is this setting a bit like the hybrid style of “Alien + Galaxy Railway 999 + Thunder”?
The game is complete, just the final tweaks left!
According to the latest announcement from the development team, the game itself has been completed, and only some details are left to be polished, such as adding the names of “Knight of Legend” sponsors. However, due to supplier delays caused by the holiday schedule, the team decided to adjust the shipping time to May to ensure that the quality of the game is not compromised.
However, this is not a bad thing – the development team emphasized that they will use this extra time to conduct more in-depth game testing and QA to ensure that there will not be any bugs that affect the game experience. If the logistics can arrive earlier, backers will also have a chance to get the game earlier!
