Knightica is a new roguelike experience for PC that is set to come out in the third quarter of 2025. This new game experience seamlessly combines roguelike mechanics with auto battlers, and it seems to play really good. It is true that the indie market is saturated with roguelikes, but Knightica seems to bring its own spark to the fray. We at Infinite Start will cover the title with more detail.
Knights the time
A demo has dropped for Knightica by the hand of Mad Mango Games for PC players to enjoy. This title seemingly combines the genres of roguelike and auto battler to create a new experience that not many have seen before. Indie developers tend to bring the wildest ideas from their dreams into the canvas that is code. Compared to the uninspired and often limited by money driven goals triple A companies, indie titles are mostly driven by passion and creativity.
Knightica is a turn based roguelike auto battler where you lead an army of powerful units. You must recruit, place and command your troops to free the Kingdoms that spawn in the game with each playthrough. You can also discover amazing synergies to power up your formations and bring new strategic ways to tackle complex enemy groups. Formations and organization are a crucial part of the game.
You will find yourself trying to optimally place all your units to make the best one available. Failing to do so can lead to a harsh defeat, and since this is an auto battler, it is clearly tied to a bit of luck too. Auto battler games are often known for being tied to risk reduction, while luck might not be in your favor, you can always organize in such a way to mitigate the biggest risks. You can experience this new strategic gameplay by downloading the demo on Steam.
