4-PLAYER ONLINE CO-OP

Character building and gameplay gains new depth when working with a squad to build synergy and overcome increasingly difficult enemies. Rune Knights offers MANY ways for squads of up to 4 to work together and theorycraft.

AN AVALANCHE OF CUSTOMIZATION

10 Skill Trees, over 100 unique talents, more than 200 unique skills, 10+ Super Abilities, and over 150 legendary items let you build characters and playstyles that other games can't offer with their restricted progression systems. Invest in any skill tree at any time as you level up, and quickly respec your character if you decide to try something new or take advantage of particularly lucky loot.

YOUR GEAR SUPPLIES YOUR ABILITIES

Gear isn't just about stats. Each piece of gear has an ability assigned to it, which you can use once you equip it. Experimentation and improvisation are key to survival until you can afford to put the perfect build together.

GEAR CRAFTING

You're in control of every aspect of your gear. Special crafting items drop from enemies and can be purchased in Town. These items allow you to upgrade your items, change their skills, and reroll their mods (sometimes to powerful Legendary mods).

SUPER ABILITIES

Investing heavily in a skill tree can reward you with special Super abilities. These abilities charge up as you kill enemies, and allow you short windows of massive power once activated. Each skill tree has its own unique Super.

LEGENDARIES

Legendary items can drop at any time, and provide unique and powerful ways to play and build your character. Certain Legendaries are only dropped from the most powerful enemies in the game. There are currently more than 150 legendaries to find and experiment with. Good luck collecting them all!

COMPANIONS

Recruit AI-controlled Companions to your party which have all the same customization options that you do. Equip them with any gear you find, customize their talents and flask effects, and put together your own ideal squad.

POWERFUL, INTERESTING ENEMIES

Over 60 different enemies including 15 unique Bosses and 15 powerful Elite enemies will require you to improvise and react quickly and tactically to overcome them.

TRADING

Trade your items and currency with allies in game.

ENDGAME

Raids test your build, reflexes, and strategy against unique and difficult boss encounters. Infinite Arena pits your character against waves of increasingly difficult enemies and bosses for a chance to top the leaderboards. Invasions allow you to replay campaign maps on significantly higher difficulties and with a chance to spawn rare goblin enemies with loads of valuable loot. All of these can be done solo and with a party.

"I WAS TOLD I COULD DUAL WIELD SHIELDS?"

Yes.

"CAN I PLAY AS A SUMMONER?"

Yes.

MAKE YOUR VOICE HEARD

Many of RK's skills, talents, weapons, and features originated as suggestions by players like you. Join our Discord to suggest your own ideas for the game, report bugs, discuss character builds and synergies, and share memes.

HARDCORE MODE

For the masochists. Hardcore characters are permanently deleted on death, have a separate gold collection and stash that can be accessed by other Hardcore characters, and can only trade with other Hardcore characters.

PLAY OFFLINE, TOO

Rune Knights does not require an internet connection for solo play, because that's ridiculous. (Use Steam Offline Mode).

ANTI-CHEAT

To preserve the integrity of leaderboards and the online games of players who don't wish to cheat, Rune Knights implements an anti-cheat that will close the game upon detecting an outside intrusion. Cheaters be warned.

BORING INFO SECTION

Rune Knights is a cooperative, third-person, hack-and-slash action RPG focused on customization, crafting, and combat. Level up by killing monsters, collect loot, craft your own weapons and armor, and choose from over 120 unique talents and 60 different powerful abilities. Customize your character's aesthetics, stats, and gameplay as you battle through procedurally generated and hand-crafted levels with a variety of enemies and bosses.

Rune Knights is still early in development and I intend to let the community determine the future direction of the game. Please provide feedback about what you would like to see changed or added to the game. No suggestion is too big or too small.
