Game overview
Circle Poison's Ether Knight RPG, localized by Kagura Games
Imperial Knights is a single-player, turn-based RPG from Circle Poison, published in English by Kagura Games on Steam on 28 August 2026. You play Diana Ashley, a sheltered second daughter who sneaks into the Adventurers' Guild to restore House Ashley after her sister Luna vanishes and her father Robert is stripped of honor. The early guild-fee choice splits the campaign into three long routes with different allies, maps, and endings. Read the beginner guide before you spend that fee, then use the route split and the walkthrough to keep the story straight. Combat is a four-slot command battle with visible field enemies, elemental weaknesses, and an armor-break layer covered in the combat guide. Party value lives on the character hub and the party tier list. After the Spirit Cave, Diana can become an Ether Knight — see how to become an Ether Knight. The Steam build is Windows-only, DRM-free on Kagura's store, and 18+. Check Steam launch notes and the official links before you install.
