Plot
Rage Knights, heroes to the people, once defended the world. Now, it is controlled and corrupted by the power of Dark Ones. Once-good knights have turned evil. Sir Edward Drakeson is recruiting new knights to fight for the knighthood. The player must fight him to test your skills and three more like him for the knight trials. Sir Drakeson and the other three knights fought Lord Karnon, and they lost. The player finds four knights getting attacked and you fight Lord Karnon. The player wins the fight but Lord Karnon activates the portal behind him; Sir Drakeson punches the portal to make it unstable, so it can't be used properly, then Sir Drakeson gets sucked and trapped in the portal, then Lord Karnon jumps inside after him.

Gameplay
Knighthood is a single-player game with some online aspects, in which the player battles enemies to progress through Astellan and claim the Rage Gauntlet. Unlike many other strategy-RPGs, the player has four energy bars; each attack consumes one bar, so the player can switch between using punches from the gauntlet, and attacking with their current weapon. Throughout Knighthood, the player comes across shops and hunts which helps with progression through the game.

Awards
At the beginning of 2021, Knighthood won the Pocket Gamer Award for "Best RPG"
