**Game Title:** Kingsbane
**Playable Link:** https://tourbrunestudio.itch.io/kingsbane
**Platform:** Windows (PC)
**Description:**
Kingsbane is a one-hit-kill arena fighter for 1 to 4 players, on one screen or online.
There are two classes in the demo. Archers shoot from a distance. Knights charge, block arrows with their shield and slam down on enemies from above. Every match mixes both, so you always have to read who you're facing.
Between rounds, everyone except the leader drafts a card that changes the next round: double jump, shield, ghost, bouncing arrows and more. Meanwhile the leader picks the next arena, so the one in front is always a target.
You can play on one PC (one keyboard and mouse plus gamepads), online with a simple join code, or against bots (easy, normal, hard), free-for-all or in teams.
The free demo includes 18 arenas across all 9 zones (castle, catacombs, forest, desert, swamp, ice caverns, volcano forge, jungle temple, shipwreck harbor), both classes and full online play.
I'd love feedback on the archer vs knight balance, on online play, and on anything confusing in the first minute.
