Black-Knight-Sword

Starting today Xbox Live Gold members can capitalize on an exclusive price cut for the twisted platforming adventure Black Knight Sword. The sale runs for one week on Xbox Live Arcade, through Tuesday April 23, and sees the already modest price tag cleaved in two: available for 400 MSP. Black Knight Sword is the second offering from the co-development team of Grasshopper Manufacturer and Digital Reality, whose previous partnership on Xbox Live Arcade brought us Sine Mora.

Grasshopper is helmed by the inimitable Goichi “Suda 51” Suda, who’s become synonymous with bizarre, stylish, sometimes polarizing projects including Lollipop Chainsaw and Shadows of the Damned. That penchant for the weird and wonderful is alive and well in Black Knight Sword, conjuring up a nightmarish old-school platformer wrapped in a dark fairy tale setting. If you haven’t had the chance to see what Black Knight Sword is all about, you can check out our review.
