Black Knight Sword
Suda51's Grasshopper Manufacture has been busy lately with games like Sine Mora, Lollipop Chainsaw, and Shadows of the Damned, and now they've unveiled Black Knight Sword.
The side-scrolling action/platformer's gameplay looks to be relatively traditional with melee-, ranged-, and area-effect attacks, but as is usual for Grasshopper games, the visual style is all is different. Presenter and sound maverick Akira Yamaoka says that the team wanted the game to look like a kids' pop-up book or a puppet theater. And it looks like they've succeeded.
The game is scheduled to come out in early 2012. Digital Reality is publishing the title in Europe, but we don't know if that or the release date will be any different for the U.S.
