“Paladin's Passage is a stylish 2.5D action platformer where you can place blocks to safeguard your character from hazards and use them as platforms to help traverse its tricky single-screen levels...it's got a great Unreal Engine 5 powered visual style and the fact that you can't just kill the monsters means you have to think of more creative ways to avoid them.” - Alpha Beta Gamer
Great Mood Lighting and Story Scenes, Puzzling fun figuring out the optimal path to beat the level and compete in the online leaderboards. Skull bad guy is intimidating: give it a try! - Michael
This game is the perfect combination between "platformer" and "puzzle" game formula. It's not just about precision skills. It's more about strategy: Where to put the blocks to solve the level. Add to that good graphics and a great background music and you are all set for a fantastic time. - Tarh Ik
"When all you have is a hammer, every problem starts to look like a nail." This is the story of the paladin who took that phrase literally. The good thing is the next time someone passes me a Japanese puzzle box they can't solve, I'm super ready for it. I knew buying that sledge hammer wasn't a waste. - Squarebananas
