Embark on an epic journey as The Forgetful Knight, where every battle may cause you to forget your skills. Can you survive and conquer the dungeons in this rogue-like action game with all your memory intact?
The Forgetful Knight
The Forgetful Knight challenges traditional rogue-like gameplay by introducing a unique twist – every time the player is hit by an enemy, they forget one of their skills. This creates a dynamic and constantly changing gameplay experience, where players are forced to adapt and try different skill combinations. Say goodbye to repetitive hit-dodge-hit patterns and embrace the challenge of learning and overcoming obstacles in a new way.
