Play Tecmo Knight Online

Tecmo Knight is one of those ridiculous, over-the-top arcade beat'em ups where logic takes a backseat to sheer spectacle. You play as this armored knight who somehow commands two massive creatures—Smokeman (a hulking, smoke-spewing brute) and Tiger (yes, just a giant tiger). The best part? You ride them into battle like some kind of mythical monster wrangler, switching between them mid-fight with a button press.

It gets even sillier when you collect special items and summon a flying dragon to torch everything on screen. The enemies are your usual fantasy rogue’s gallery—cyclopes, minotaurs, the works—but they don’t just die quietly. Heads go flying, blood sprays everywhere, and it’s all so exaggerated you can’t help but laugh. Wild Fang, the final boss, looks like someone crossed a werewolf with a tank.

It’s not deep, but who cares? You’re here to smash buttons and watch giant creatures brawl. The dragon alone is worth the price of admission.
