Black Knight Sword Gameplay Video is Strange and Fanciful

A collaboration between Suda 51's Grasshopper Manufacture and Hungarian developer Digital Reality, Black Knight Sword looks to be something of an oddity. A curio cast firmly in the strange mould that Grasshopper has fashioned for itself over the years.

A side-scrolling hack and slasher with a hefty dose of platforming, and oodles of blood and gore, Black Knight Sword looks brilliantly bonkers in this gameplay video, showing the cardboard cutout enemies and pop-up scenery all unfolding behind a red curtain on the stage of the game's weird puppet theatre.

Check out Black Knight Sword in the new trailer, then look out for the game on the Xbox Live Arcade in winter 2011.

  • I am very interested in this game, I can't wait to test it out when the trial surfaces. I am a little worried that the combat will be dry, being that they only show one attack in the whole video. However, the art (and hopefully story) will be good enough to make up for it. Anything by Suda 51 is good in my book.
  • i agree with @1 but deffinately gonna try the trial
  • Looks very interesting...
  • @1 Too true, Suda 51 is indeed a twisted genius.
  • this one is quite intriguing. but as 2 and 3 said. i think its a trial first.
  • I'm not entirely sure what it is I just watched. Suda51 has good pedigree for batshit crazy games so this is going to be worth keeping an eye on.
  • Not as crazy as I would expect from a Suda game.
  • BLACK. KNIGHT. SWOORRDD. lol Anyway, sort of excited for this game and Lollipop Chainsaw. They're both right up my alley. :3
  • Different, I like different...the narration is cool, Kinda sounds like John Waters
  • I honestly thought this was gonna be a game about the Marvel character Black Knight lol
  • Wow good gameplay.
  • looks good can't wait.
  • Imperium Galactica from Digital Reality. Oooh, the good old days...
  • Suda 51, bringing style back a deprived and over saturated market.
