Knights of Light: The Prologue

About

Knights of Light: The Prologue drops you into a 7th century Iraqi battlefield where two warriors navigate war and politics. You control siblings bound by duty, making choices that shape alliances and outcomes. Combat mixes real time swordplay with pause-and-plan moments, letting you lead small armies or charge headfirst. The story weaves local legends with historical events, though the writing leans more on spectacle than subtlety. The game earns praise for its tactical depth and brutal melee mechanics, with 82/100 on Metacritic from early 2020 reviews. While the open world feels smaller than similar titles, fans of medieval strategy and character-driven conflicts might appreciate the dual perspective. Available only on PC since February 2020, it plays best with quick reflexes and a tolerance for occasional clunky dialogue.
