What it is
Panzer Paladin is a 2020 action-platformer from Tribute Games. You play as Flame, an android who pilots the Paladin power armor, or ejects from it to move as the smaller, swifter Squire. The story pits humanity against demons led by Ravenous, with Flame tracking down Weapon Keepers. Combat centers on melee weapons seized from enemies: wield them, throw them, break them, or snap one in half to cast a spell. The game includes more than 100 melee weapons and lets players forge custom weapons with the Blacksmith, with creations also available through Steam Workshop. Its levels are presented in 8-bit graphics and span locations around the world. Panzer Paladin supports single-player, full controller support, Steam Cloud, achievements, trading cards, leaderboards, Remote Play on TV and Family Sharing. It is available for Windows and Linux.

Who it suits

Panzer Paladin combines weapon-focused platform action with a choice between armored strength and Flame’s quicker movement. Its extensive melee arsenal and Steam Workshop support give players more ways to engage with its combat.
