Synopsis

King's Knight is a fantasy-themed vertical shooter in which four heroes must band together to defeat a dragon and save a desperate princess. It was one of the first games published by Square Soft (now half of Square Enix). King's Knight is a variant of Konami's Knightmare which sold extremely well.

The first four stages involve strengthening your characters as far as possible, collecting shields (to increase defense), boots (to increase speed), swords (to increase attack power), and spell icons (which will need to be held by everyone for the final storm on the castle), defeating monsters along the way. Power-ups are hidden under mountains, rocks and houses. Almost anything can be taken down and destroyed. The heroes are, in order:

Ray Jack, the knight, who has strong attack power; Kaliva, the sorcerer, gifted in magic and jumping; Barusa, the monster, who has a strong defense; and Toby, the thief, who can move quickly.

It is necessary to keep all four heroes alive for the fifth and final stage, as there are certain points that the party cannot pass if one of the party members has died.
