Unfair Rampage: Knightfall

About Unfair Rampage: Knightfall

Unfair Rampage: Knightfall is a chaotic 2.5D platformer from Imphenzia, the team behind the cult hit Unfair Mario. Released in 2025, it pits you as a future-wielding blaster hero against medieval knights, archers, and collapsing environments. Play as a time-traveler who must sprint through destructible castles, dodging swinging maces, crushing hammers, and endless waves of enemies. The world crumbles behind you, forcing constant forward motion. It’s arcadey, frantic, and packed with traps. Available on PC, Switch, Linux, and Mac, the game blends co-op and competitive multiplayer with a single-player campaign. If you love bullet-sponge combat and permadeath tension, this is your speed.

Gameplay

You control a nimble hero armed with a rapid-fire blaster, darting through levels that disintegrate behind you. The core loop is simple: shoot enemies, dodge hazards, and sprint ahead before the ground disappears. Every level is a gauntlet of knights, archers, and environmental terrors like lava pits and falling debris. The camera often swings wildly, adding disorientation. Multiplayer modes let you team up or fight rivals, with shared or split-screen options. Controls are responsive but punishing, death comes quickly if you hesitate. The game’s physics engine lets you shoot debris to block enemies or create shortcuts. Sessions last 15, 30 minutes, with permadeath in single-player and respawns in co-op.

What Players Think

PlayPile community ratings average 4.4/5, with 78% completion rate and 12-hour average playtime. 65% of players rate it as “frustrating but fair,” while 22% call it “addictive.” Only 12% finish all 50 achievements, which unlock secrets like hidden armor upgrades. Critics on Steam praise its “unrelenting intensity,” though 15% of reviews gripe about camera angles. 82% of co-op players say teamwork is “essential for survival,” while solo runs are deemed “relentless.” The most common mood reported? “Rage-fueled fun.”

PlayPile's Take

At $29.99, Knightfall is a budget-friendly rush for fans of arcade action. It’s not for those seeking story depth or slow exploration. With 50 achievements and a 25-hour completion time, it offers replay value for completionists. Skip if you hate permadeath or prefer methodical gameplay. For chaotic, bullet-hell platforming with friends or alone, it’s worth the price. Just stock up on health pickups, you’ll need them.

Storyline

You're a hero from the future, armed with a powerful blaster, sent back to medieval times to battle through hordes of knights, archers, siege weapons, and an imposing evil knight boss. Navigate treacherous levels filled with deadly traps like spinning blades, crushing hammers, and swinging maces. Race against time as the ground crumbles behind you, forcing you to keep moving forward. Unfair to bring a blaster to a sword fight? Outnumbered by enemies and traps makes it an even fight!
