Immortality is over-rated. At least according to Knights Contract in which the goal is for your un-killable hero to earn his sweet, deathly reward. But this close to release does the action-packed escort mission hold up? We go hands-on with the witchery and live to tell the tale.

"The combination of Heinrich’s might and Gretchen’s magic is functional if not exactly inspired. You’ll wield your hefty blade against the undead and demonic hordes, encountering larger, more imposing enemies that require the liberal use of Gretchen’s magic, which you command by holding down the right trigger and selecting one of four available spells. Both your weapon and the spells can be upgraded as you collect the souls of your vanquished foes  – such a tiresome and familiar system by now – and undergo a cool-down period so that you can’t spam them relentlessly."

Defend your favorite witch, ready some spells and check out our Knights Contract Preview.
