Lead your company from the front. Hedge Knight is a medieval fantasy battle game with physics-driven combat, huge armies and a campaign across rival kingdoms. Hire soldiers, ride at the head of the charge, and turn a band of hired blades into a realm of your own.
BATTLES ON A GRAND SCALE
- Fight in battles of up to 500 soldiers a side: foot soldiers, archers, cavalry, dwarves, elves, mages, orcs, goblins, skeletons, trolls and giants.
- Command your company in the thick of it. Hold your archers' fire, then let the whole line loose together as the enemy charges.
- Every blow has weight. Physics ragdolls send soldiers flying from charges, spells and siege stones.
- Six kinds of battlefield: green meadows, desert, snow, forest, marsh and volcanic land.
YOUR BLADE, YOUR TIMING
- Choose the direction of every swing, hold for a full-power strike and cleave through a crowd.
- Great cuts earn slow-motion moments.
- Switch to the longbow and ride the arrow cam all the way to its target.
SPELLS AND MAYHEM
More than twenty spells and abilities, from Meteor Strike, Chain Lightning and Fireball to Ground Slam, Whirlwind and War Cry. Break a shield wall, rescue a crumbling line, or send a few dozen goblins somewhere far away.
RIDE INTO BATTLE, OR OVER IT
Charge on horseback beside your cavalry. Earn the bond of a dragon and rain fire on the host below, while griffin riders, unicorn riders and wolf riders clash around you.
STORM THE CASTLE
Bring ladders, siege towers and battering rams, backed by trebuchets and cannons. Break the gate or climb the walls, fight through the courtyard and take the keep. Mind the hot oil.
BUILD YOUR COMPANY, FOUND YOUR REALM
- Travel a campaign map of villages, towns, castles and rival kingdoms.
- Recruit, train and promote your soldiers, take contracts, trade, and grow your knight across six skill paths.
- Fallen soldiers are often only knocked out. They recover on the road, so your veterans live to fight another day.

PLAY YOUR WAY
