Knight's Path: The Tournament is a free vertical slice of an upcoming open world action-RPG meant to give people a taste of the different systems it will be built up on. It largely focuses on selling the combat mechanics and skill progression but you do get a hint of the other mechanics as well. There's a tiny bit of exploration, tiny bit of questing, tiny bit of dialogue, etc.
Now as a standalone project there are clear shortcomings here: unfinished menus, placeholder voice acting (i hope), overall rough feel BUT somehow I was still engrossed for a good 6 hours and I do think that it succeeded in its primary goal which was to get me excited about that future project. Most of this hinges upon the combat feeling fun and satisfying and I think that if they can successfully expand everything around this core then the team has something quite fun in their hands.
