Grass Knight — Play Free Online

Grass Knight is a small action-adventure built around a satisfying idea: you play a knight whose job is to slash through the scenery. Fields of tall grass fall to your sword, coins pop out, and treasure chests wait to be found in a bright cartoon world. It is a loose, low-pressure kind of action game, closer to a stroll with a sword than a punishing shooter.

That makes it a nice change of pace if you came to Doodle Jump for quick, repeatable fun. A session can be five minutes of clearing a patch of land and picking up what it drops, or a longer wander if you want to see what else is hiding around the next corner. It runs in the browser with nothing to install, and it works with either a keyboard and mouse or touch.

How to play

On a computer, move with the arrow keys or WASD and use the mouse to aim and to pick options in menus. On a phone or tablet, tap and swipe instead. The basic loop is simple: walk into new ground, swing at the grass and anything that stands in your way, gather the coins that appear, and open chests when you find them.

Coins are the point of the exercise, so it pays to sweep an area thoroughly before you move on rather than running straight past it.

Tips

• Cut systematically, row by row, so you do not leave patches behind and have to backtrack.
• Keep an eye out for chests as you go; they are worth a short detour.
• If you are on a laptop, a mouse makes aiming noticeably easier than a trackpad.
• Use the fullscreen button under the game for a bigger view of the map.
