Astral Knights [Demo 4]

This game is a re-imagining of my old project: Astral Knight. This is because I lost the original Unreal Engine files, and decided to revamp it entirely! This has been worked on in the side for a little bit, containing seven levels and three boss fights.

More has been added to the game, such as the character switching and of course, the new character that you can switch to, however there will probably be more levels and mechanics planned in the future.

If you want to give this project some feedback for later demo releases, please use this feedback form here, it helps massively: Feedback Form

This game is a platformer with combat elements, inspired by some Sonic titles, Castle Crashers and Spark the Electric Jester.
