## What is Buff Knight?

Die. Upgrade. Come back stronger!

Buff Knight is a retro pixel action RPG runner you can play offline. Your knight charges forward on his own and fights every monster he bumps into. You tap to cast spells, drink potions, open treasure chests and strike monsters in the air. Every death sends you to the shop, and every upgrade carries you further toward the Red Dragon.

◆ THE STORY
Long ago, the Red Dragon stormed the Kingdom of Buff and stole its 10 treasures, and in the chaos the beautiful Princess vanished. Grab your sword, charge through monster-filled lands and bring back the treasures and the Princess!

◆ EASY TO START, HARD TO PUT DOWN
• One-touch controls: run, bump into monsters, fight
• Tap flying angels and fairies for gold and items
• Short runs, perfect for a quick break or a long session

◆ STRONGER WITH EVERY DEATH
• Your stats stay when you fall: die, visit the shop, jump right back in
• Raise Strength, Dexterity, Intelligence and Endurance
• Upgrade and enchant 7 gear slots: weapon, shield, helmet, armor, gloves, pants and shoes
• Play as a sword-swinging Knight or a spell-blasting Sorceress

◆ 20 HIDDEN ARTIFACTS
• 10 legendary treasures in Story Mode: 4 from the Dragon, 6 behind secret conditions
• 10 more in Endless Mode, each upgradable up to Lv.10
• Cryptic hints point the way. Can you find them all?

◆ TWO MODES
• Story Mode: a real adventure with an ending, and a true ending for those who dig deeper
• Endless Mode: unlocks once you beat Story Mode. How far can you go?

◆ PLAY ANYWHERE
• Fully offline, no internet connection needed
• 1x / 2x / 3x run speed
• Left/right button layout

◆ RETRO TO THE CORE
• Charming 8-bit pixel art and chiptune music
• Weather effects like rain along your journey
• A knight with a lot to say: witty one-liners on the road

Looking for a retro pixel RPG you can play offline, anywhere? Saddle up. The Princess is waiting!
