What Portal Knights is

Portal Knights is an adventure game developed by Keen Games and released in 2017. It was published by 505 Games. It is available on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Android, iOS and PC (Microsoft Windows).

The premise, in the publisher's words

Travel between randomly generated 3D sandbox worlds — each one with unique environments, creatures, and resources for crafting. Explore caves, mineshafts, and dungeons filled with surprises. In order to travel to different worlds, the player will need to collect Portal Shards, which can then be crafted into Portal Stones. By placing the Portal Stones in Portal Structures, the player will then be able to access a new world. There are currently 44 different islands to visit.
