Jet Set Knights

About

Jet Set Knights is a retro-inspired 2D platformer that mixes fast-paced action with tower defense and RPG mechanics. You control a knight hopping between levels, battling enemies in side-scrolling stages while managing a base that upgrades between waves. Combat feels tight and responsive with simple controls, and the cartoonish art style keeps things light. The game supports solo play or co-op with a friend, letting you take turns defending your castle or charging into fights. The blend of genres sets it apart from standard platformers, adding strategy layers without slowing the pace. It released in 2016 but holds up as a solid throwback with cooperative flexibility and a charm that appeals to nostalgic players. The PlayStation 4, Switch, and PC versions keep it accessible years later.
