This action adventure role playing game is set in the medieval era and based on actual historical events that was never introduced before. The story events covers the great historical battle of Al-Qadisiyyah that occurred at Iraq in the 7th century. The battle had a decisive outcome that lead to the collapse of the Sassanian empire, and while it lasted for approximately a week, the current game content covers the events prior to the battle.

There will be two playable characters to play with (Qaikaa / Aassem).Each one has a distinctive combat style and different skills and abilities to unlock. Qaikaa is a heavy hitter who uses brute force and deals massive damage, while Aassem is quick and stealthy with his swift attacks.

Despite being a medieval based game but the game will feature a hidden fantasy path in the campaign that the player can tap into. According to the studio the game will contain about 60 playing hours along with two estimated expansions.

Knights Of Light's game world is supposed to represent the land of Iraq in the seventh century with a huge size of 400 kilometers. Despite the common thought of Iraq as a desert but it is a very diverse land full of various terrains. Aside from the beautiful landscape the world will be rich with various historical landmarks and architecture. During that time Iraq was ruled by the Sassanian Empire which was the last Persian Empire existed. The Sassanian art and architecture is very unique inheriting from both the Assyrian and Sumerian cultures.

To be as authentic as possible the studio hired a professional writer who issued two successful medieval novels before. The writer noted his interest in adding depth to the main story with the side quests and player choices affecting the world around him.
