Release Date: December 6, 2022
A fighting game with elements of TPP platform game, made in the style of such games as the Super Smash Bros. series. In Divine Knockout (DKO), we play characters from myths and legends who engage in fierce duels in a variety of arenas.
Divine Knockout (DKO) is a fighting game with platform game elements, keeping in the spirit of such games as the Super Smash Bros. series. The production was developed by Red Beard Games studio, and its release was handled by Hi-Rez Studios.
Unlike in other games of this type, in DKO we do not observe the action from the side, but from a third-person perspective (TPP). Game offers a number of characters drawn from myths and legends, such as Hercules, King Arthur and Thor. Impersonating one of them, we take part in fierce skirmishes, fighting for victory alone or cooperating with our team. The clashes are extremely dynamic, and during them we cover enemies on the ground and in the air.
Individual heroes differ from each other through the weapons they use and their combat skills. For example, Hercules makes use primarily of his own arms and legs, King Arthur fights with Excalibur, while Thor wraps enemies with Mjolnir. As we progress, we can modify the appearance of the characters, adapting them to our preferences.
The battlefields themselves, on the other hand, are not just a backdrop for the battles we fight - each of them has a specific feature, the skillful use of which can tip the balance of victory to our side. Some are destroyed over time, while others are filled with deadly traps.
DKO offers only a multiplayer mode (the title features cross-play). The game allows both one-on-one battles and taking part in clashes between two teams of two or three players. In addition to the classic battles, during which we do everything to weaken our opponents and then push them out of the arenas, other modes, such as King of the Hill, are waiting to be tested.

Game Ratings for Divine Knockout Video Game.
GameGrin: 6.5 / 10 by Jon Wilson
Divine Knockout(DKO) had so much potential, but it falls into the trap many other multiplayer games fall into, focusing too much on one area with every other area being barely touched. It would be doing much worse if it weren't for the visuals and fun gameplay.
Daily Star: 3.5 / 5 by Tom Hutchison
Divine Knockout is great fun and a fresh take on the Smash Bros style of brawler. It’s quite limited at the moment, there’s only six arenas and eight fighters at launch, but hopefully the makers at Red Beard Games will improve that over time with promised new content.
Worth Playing: 7.5 / 10 by Cody Medellin
Divine Knockout is worth checking out in its current state for fighting game fans, but those who are on the fence might want to wait for the current season to end to see if it will remain free-to-play.
