The Epic Games Store holiday generosity does not stop at Christmas, and today's free game is a testament to how festive giveaways can also be about brutally murdering everything with a pulse.
Today's free game is Kill Knight, an isometric action shooter released in October 2024. You play a knight in shining armor fuelled by bloodlust, as you traverse an eldritch arena and fight its denizens with a hail of bullets.
According to OpenCritic, Kill Knight has an aggregate score of 83% among critics, but that is not its most impressive stat. The game was recommended by 95% of the 21 critics who reviewed it.
Kill Knight shines through its minimalistic approach to gameplay. It is a distilled modern arcade title where you launch it to kill stuff, so you go in, fulfill your bloodlust, and do so while enjoying beautifully tuned movement and combat mechanics.
Despite being a visually modest title, Kill Knight has high system requirements, with a GTX 970 or R9 290X (4GB of VRAM) at the bare minimum.
