Divine Knockout is a multiplayer 3D platform fighter starring gods and other figures from mythology. Players battle in third-person arenas, where the goal is to knock opponents off the map.
Attacks and character-specific abilities build damage and make enemies easier to launch. Movement, dodging, timing, and positioning matter, as players can also recover after being knocked away.
Arenas have their own mechanics, including crumbling platforms and hazards. The game offers 3v3 rounds with rotating modes, as well as 2v2 and 1v1 duels; players can customize gods and use cross-play and cross-progression.
Players often praise the distinctive third-person take on platform fighting, the accessible combat, and gods with individual abilities and playstyles. Reviews also describe quick, chaotic matches as fun with friends. Many express sadness about the game’s shutdown and frustration with its support; some also mention server problems or limited content.
Services for this title will be shutting down on February 17, 2025.
Damage enemies to make them vulnerable, then knock them out of the arena with a mighty blow! Enjoy combat inspired by 2D platform fighters, but brought into a unique third-person perspective.
Each arena features a new mechanic that players must master to win. Some crumble over time, while others feature deadly traps.
Hurl boulders as Hercules, swing Excalibur as King Arthur, or wield Mjolnir as Thor. Unleash each god’s devastating abilities at the push of a button.
In DKO’s core 3v3 mode, each round is a new adventure – and a new mode like Knockout or King of the Hill. Or play intense 2v2 and 1v1 duels, focused entirely on combat.
With full cross-play and cross-progression, you can play anyone, anywhere.
Customize each god to play exactly how you want, and to show your unique style.
New gods, maps, cosmetics, and modes are released regularly.
