'Knights and Bikes' Also Coming to PS4

by Rainier on Feb. 12, 2016 @ 7:14 p.m. PST

Knights and Bikes is a co-op action adventure game set in a beautifully hand painted 3D world, inspired by The Goonies, Earthbound and our own childhoods.

The game takes place on Penfurzy Island, off the coast of Cornwall, a place of medieval legend, and modern tourism. We pick up the story in the 1980s when the island faces fresh challenges that can only be met by the island's two most overlooked heroes: two young girls.

You play as Nessa and Demelza. Nessa is an outsider from the mainland, who is searching for her family's past. Inspired by her favourite video game, Demelza is an imaginative local who believes in the island's legend. Together they explore the island both on foot and on their bikes, searching for treasure, discovering new locations, recruiting new gang members and getting into trouble.

When their investigation awakens the malevolent spirits of history, the girls must use their unique skills, and their bikes, to save the island. They deal with the threat with bike-jousting, Frisbee-throwing, puddle-stomping and whatever other kid-like schemes they can improvise. And with each islander they rescue they learn new abilities to enable them to do more and travel further.

This is a game for anyone that ever wore their coat like a superhero cape, wondered if there was any treasure buried in the back-garden, and faced danger by peddling their bike at top speed into it.

Knights and Bikes is coming to PS4!

It’s exciting for us because we’re the biggest fans of PlayStation and its games — we’ve even been lucky enough to work on some of them like LittleBigPlanet, Tearaway, and Ratchet and Clank, and we definitely didn’t want that to stop even after going indie!

Foam Sword are currently running a kickstarter campaign, looking for £100,000 ($142,577).

Key Features

  • Local Co-Op - Play through the game with AI helpers, or with friends controlling the other characters in your party.
  • Explore - Jump on your bikes and explore the island following the ever trusty beak of Captain Honkers, your pet goose.
  • Treasure - Trade collected treasure to upgrade your bike and acquire new abilities.
  • Quests - Prove yourselves worthy saviours of the island by rescuing loved ones, finding ancient relics, and solving mysteries.
  • Battle - Fight like kids do - use your ingenuity to splash enemies with mud, swerve a Frisbee past their shields, hack video game hardware to use against them, or make a fast getaway on your bikes
