Revision as of 02:20, 7 December 2012
Black Knight Sword is a platforming video game currently in development for the PlayStation Network and Xbox Live Arcade services.[1] Speaking on behalf of developer Grasshopper Manufacture, composer Akira Yamaoka summarized it as "a throwback to the old-school classic side-scrolling action games. It has a very nostalgic feel,"[1] while Black Knight Sword's Facebook page boasts that it "harkens a simpler time when simple yet addictive and challenging gameplay dominated the scene."[2]
Plot
Black Knight Sword follows the quest of the Black Knight, accompanied by the Black Hellebore Sword Fairy, to defeat the Evil White Princess.[2]
Development
Black Knight Sword is one of two projects pairing Grasshopper and Hungarian studio Digital Reality, the other being Sine Mora. The game's graphics are inspired by Japanese shadow puppetry[3] and traditional Czech animation,[4] presented in the style of a puppet theatre.
Marketing
A demo of Black Knight Sword was made playable at Penny Arcade Expo Prime 2011,[5] after its announcement the week prior at gamescom 2011.
