Description

History
Knight Squad is Chainsawesome Games’ second title and it was born from a prototype that earned the studio the grand prize in the 48-hour Game Jam of the Pixel Challenge in 2013. Thanks to a solid business plan for this project, Chainsawesome Games won the grand prize of the Catapulte contest presented by Ubisoft Quebec in 2015 and the studio has received $50,000 for the marketing of their game. Knight Squad was then released in fall of 2015 and has been downloaded on the Xbox One by 1.7 million users through an exclusive partnership with Microsoft.
