Can you save Craftworld from the dastardly Vex and his nightmarish Topsy Turver device… and become the Knitted Knight of legend?
The Story So Far…
The dastardly Vex (a near-mythical being born of chaos and fear, no less) has kidnapped Sackboy’s friends and forced them to build his Topsy Turver.
This most terrifyingly twisted device will transform Craftworld from a fantastical land of pure imagination and innocent dreams… into a torrid, barren eyesore of nightmares.
Ooh the fiend!
But legend tells of a prophecy from deep within the ancient order of the Knitted Knights, Craftworld’s legendary protectors.
For only the brave, fearless, chivalrous and, yes, gallant can save the day in an almost too dramatic for words race against time stuffed with danger and peril.
So much peril.
Set off alone or with your bravest friends on a whirlwind of capers across the snowiest mountains, the leafiest jungles, the wettest underwater realms and the, uh, spaciest of space colonies.
Take down Vex. Save the sack-folk. Save the day.
It’s time to fulfil your destiny, Sackboy.
From woolly wonderkid and hessian hero… rise our Knitted Knight.
Perilous platforming experience.
Explore here, there, and everywhere through distinctive hand-crafted lands across Craftworld.Utilise Sackboy’s cool, diverse move-set to face a huge variety of thrilling challenges, fierce enemies and startling surprises.
You will never know what’s coming next in an awe-inspiring and downright fun epic adventure you’ll want to play again and again.
And again.
