Alan-1 Avian Knights Pro 2 Player

A nostalgic return to classic arcade co-op gaming where two pilots must survive 256 waves of aerial combat to claim the championship.

Overview

Avian Knights Pro brings back the golden age of arcade gaming with intense 2-player co-op aerial combat. This spiritual remake of Williams’ classic Joust features knights riding giant birds in floating platform arenas with weapon pickups, wind effects, cabinet knocker feedback, and control rumble for an elevated gaming experience. Players must work together to battle through wave after wave of enemy knights and bosses, avoiding hazards while competing for global high scores through the integrated tournament system.

Key Features

Survive 256 Waves of Aerial Combat

Experience the ultimate endurance challenge as you battle through 256 increasingly difficult waves of enemies, bosses, and environmental hazards to become the Avian Knights Champion in this modern take on classic joust-style gameplay.

Complete Arsenal of Upgradeable Weapons

Master five distinct weapon types including sword, mace, bow/arrow, spiked helmet, and glaive. Each weapon upgrades three times for maximum power, while your bird gains special attacks like fireball, poison gas cloud, or thunderbolt to dominate aerial combat.

Immersive Physical Effects

Feel every moment of combat with wind effects that blow during flight, cabinet knocker feedback that physically jolts the machine during key events, and controller rumble that responds to gameplay action—elevating this far beyond typical joystick experiences.

Advanced Egg Revival System

When hit, knights transform into eggs offering multiple tactical opportunities. Control your knightless bird to reach your egg first and remount, or if your bird dies but knight survives, use the egg to spawn a new bird—all without losing a life while maintaining weapon combat capability.

Integrated Global Competition System

Connect to the Major League eSports (MLES) app to track high scores, compete in tournaments, form teams, and participate in Alan-1 Championship events with real prizes for top performers.

Operator-Ready Monitoring

Online-enabled cabinet includes operator app access to monitor game performance, maintenance needs, and earnings data remotely for streamlined route management.

How It Plays

Two players pilot armored knights on giant birds through floating platform arenas, using aerial positioning and strategic weapon selection to defeat enemies. Success requires mastering the flap-to-fly mechanics while collecting and upgrading weapons, coordinating bird special attacks, and utilizing the egg system for tactical advantages. Players work together to survive all 256 waves while competing for global championship recognition through increasingly challenging aerial combat scenarios.
