This side-scrolling action game sends players through a series of stages filled with enemies and boss fights. Each of the three heroes plays differently in speed, power, and reach, and combat focuses on melee strings, jumping attacks, guard timing, and positional control. Characters gain experience and level up during play, improving offense and defense. Some stages add horseback combat or one-on-one knight duels, making spacing and enemy pattern recognition important for survival.
King Arthur
The balanced lead knight, offering dependable attack and defense for new players.
Lancelot
The fastest character, suited to quick pressure and hit-and-run play.
Percival
The strongest character, trading speed for heavy damage and reach.
Garibaldi
The main antagonist who commands the enemy forces and opposes the Grail quest.
Build experience early so your attacks and durability improve before the later stages. Use jump-ins and movement to avoid being surrounded, then punish openings with short combo strings. Against bosses, watch for charge and wide-swing telegraphs, and retreat instead of trading damage. Percival is strong for direct brawling, while Lancelot is easier for safer control.

Leveling up early makes the rest of the run much easier.
