Knight vs. Giant is an upcoming [[ActionAdventure action-adventure]] video game with [[RogueLike roguelite]] elements based on the Myth/ArthurianLegend. The game is being developed by Indonesian developer Gambir Studio for PC and UsefulNotes/TheNinthGenerationOfConsoleVideoGames.

Camelot has been destroyed. As [[Characters/ArthurianLegend King Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table]] went on a journey to find the elusive [[Main/HolyGrail Holy Grail of legends]], a giant emerged from the mysterious [[Main/CosmicHorrorReveal Astral Plane]] and slayed every last one of them.

Fortuitously, {{Myth/Merlin}} — Royal Advisor to Camelot, wizard extraordinaire, and the resident eccentric — has enough power to resurrect just one hero. Thus, Myth/KingArthur himself was revived. With Camelot in ruins and a broken {{Main/Excalibur}} in his hand, it's up to the Savior King himself to slay the giant, restore the Kingdom's glory, and find out just who — or what — is behind the downfall of Camelot.

During gameplay, the player controls Arthur and can equip the broken Excalibur with the powers of Knights of the Round Table, with each knight specializing in a different playstyle. As per the tradition of [[Main/RogueLike roguelites]], the dungeons are [[Main/RandomlyGeneratedLevels procedurally generated]] with different layouts, enemies, power-ups, and items on each run, allowing the player to further build Arthur as they want (supposing the Main/RandomNumberGenerator allows for it, of course).

As the title suggests, the main bosses in Knight vs. Giant are giant beings big enough to fill half of the screen. The player has to use their strongest attacks and maneuver carefully to even have a chance of taking them down.

The game is currently planned to launch sometime in 2023.

!!''Knight vs. Giant'' provides examples of the following tropes:
* {{Camelot}}: The Kingdom serves as the hub area where Arthur can regroup, talk to NPCs, and prepare for his next venture into the dungeons.
* DavidVersusGoliath: And how. The giant shown in the first trailer is many times Arthur's size, necessitating the camera to pull back just to show its whole body.
* {{Excalibur}}: The legendary sword is now broken but Arthur can still wield it by imbuing it with the powers of his Knights of the Round Table.
* RandomlyGeneratedLevels: As to be expected of roguelites, the dungeons are not custom designed but rather procedurally generated to provide a varied experience to each run.
* RandomlyGeneratedLoot: Upon clearing a room of enemies, the player can find a statue of the Knights of the Round Table or a piece of the Round Table itself, offering three randomized Blessings to pick from.
* RockMonster: A type of enemies are rocks with eyes that will try to attack Arthur by tackling him.
* WickedWasps: Big, fierce-looking wasps that shoot their stinger at Arthur are amongst the enemies the players will face.
* VideoGameLives: Run out of them, and Arthur will be resurrected back in Camelot, losing all the Blessings and items he gathered during the previous run.
