Portal Knights invite players into a vibrant sandbox world combining RPG action, crafting, and exploration across numerous floating islands connected by ancient portals. Players embark on adventures battling monsters, gathering resources, building structures, and restoring the fractured realm. The class system is central to the RPG experience, featuring distinct roles like the melee-focused Warrior, the spell-casting Mage, the agile Ranger, the stealthy Rogue, and the shapeshifting Druid.
