KnightShift offers the best of conventional RPG and RTS games in a mystic world, full of fantasy, humor and imagination. Choose the Archer, the Amazon, the Sorcerer, Priestess, Barbarian or Spearman and set forth to battle in the RPG mode. Protect your village with Wizard Towers in RTS mode. Combine both and win back your Kingdom in the daring Campaign mode. KnightShift combines diverse gaming ingredients to create a hearty chowder of fun. ("Hearty Chowder of Fun" was a briefly considered and quickly rejected early name for the game).

During the campaigns the player develops his or her characters and gains access to new weapons, special armor and magic items. You are also able to create new characters and build new structures. All characters controlled by the player gain experience and level-up, increasing their combat potential and magical abilities. The characters may also find special items and weapons, armor and magical amulets, helping them to increase and enhance their skills. Online, KnightShift offers several skirmish and multiplayer modes offering endless additional gameplay.

KnightShift is full of unique and offbeat humor. Other games may have resource gathering, but few have resources that you can milk! Herd, graze, milk and steal cattle to fund your empire... and keep that milk flowing or your economy will wither on the bovine. Spend a little time learning the resource system and your hefferts will be well rewarded. (Watch out for falling puns)

Also make sure to steer clear of the dreaded "Mother in Law" unit who will take over buildings. She moves in, makes them her own, and remains there for the rest of the game. We'd say more, but she's listening.

KnightShift is a light-hearted romp through vales of swords, mists of sorcery, and clouds of methane. Its bound to keep you clicking late into the night.
