The briefing

About this game

Knight Lore is an isometric action-adventure combining platforming, puzzle-solving, and arcade-style challenges. The hero must reach Melkhior, an eccentric wizard who can save him, by navigating a long sequence of dangerous screens that demand careful planning and precise movement.

The game unfolds across 40 days and nights. At night, the hero transforms into a werewolf, adding a distinctive element to the journey. Its detailed monochrome graphics and isometric viewpoint support room-based exploration, while the story is presented through a rhyming poem rather than straightforward instructions.

A Famicom Disk System version was produced and published by Jaleco, featuring color graphics.
