Knights Contract

Knights Contract

Released2011
Armed with a razor sharp scythe and explosive witchcraft, players will use these tools with spectacular effects in order to return civility to the land. As players succeed in their journey, they can deal tremendous damage to their on-comers or unleash a gruesome finisher by coordinating the efforts of Heinrich and Gretchen. However, players must also keep a close eye on Gretchen as her mortality is the key to the duo's survival as Heinrich can never be vanquished. It's time to let the combos fly and lay waste to the hordes of darkness with a liberal dose of medieval panache.

About This Game

In an era when witch-hunting was considered a civic duty, the immortal executioner Heinrich carries out his orders — among them, the beheading of a witch named Gretchen, on the command of the game's villain, Dr. Faust. Gretchen is resurrected and binds Heinrich to her will as her servant. Now the two must cooperate: Heinrich's immortality keeps them both alive in combat, while Gretchen's magic is their primary weapon — and their only path to stopping the supernatural horrors Faust has set loose across the land.
