“Knight's End finishes the Skautfold series in a pretty satisfying way, and ties up just about every plot thread that has been introduced.”
“This game is great! I don't know what magic the Skautfold dev wields, but he almost always manages to craft a unique yet engaging battle system. The lore and story are also quite cool, and if you enjoyed past Skautfold games, then I cannot recommend this one enough.”

“Buy the game and see how the story finally ends.”
“They are severely underrated for the story and atmosphere they throw you in.”
