For the most part of the game you try to retrieve your [[MacGuffin Falcon Sword and Genji Armor]], along the way you meet some old and new friends, lots of demons and, [[{{H-Game}} of course]], many pretty girls. Of course there is more than just some equipment hunt. After all the demons are causing a lot of trouble...

It stars [[HandsomeLech Desmond]], the hero of the first two games, who immediately after the start of the game, gets robbed of his gems, sword and clothes because he [[WhatAnIdiot refused to fight the bandits]] because [[HonorBeforeReason he only draws his sword in face of real evil.]]

Yeah.

Knights of Xentar is generally viewed as one of the better eroge. Part of this stems from the [[{{Woolseyism}} localization from Megatech]], who included many, occasionally [[BreakingTheFourthWall fourth wall-breaking]] jokes.

!! This game provides examples of:

* ATasteOfPower: Even though you lose your equipments before you can get a control. Desmond's still overleveled and can beat anything in a flash. After the first town, however, you're forced back into level 1.
* AllThereInTheManual: The manual has the plots of the first two games, which never left Japan, summarised. The game even tells you to check it at a few points.
* BagOfSpilling: [[JustifiedTrope Justified:]] You start out at low-middle levels and with the most powerful sword and armor, but you are robbed at the start of the game and weakened shortly after, through some kind of demonic object.
* BattleThemeMusic: There are three normal battle themes, one boss battle theme (played only in two battles, though) and a final boss theme.
* CatGirl: There is an entire town of catgirls appropriately called "Feline Farms".
* CaughtWithYourPantsDown
* ClassAndLevelSystem
* DuelBoss: [[spoiler: Final boss]]

* FightInTheNude: [[AvertedTrope Averted]]. However, it can be invoked ''literally''...
* GuideDangIt: Getting the Mystic Marble in Dreadsden can be quite tricky.
** You get only one of Luna's spell gems during the main quest. To find the rest, you need to do things like looking into a specific jar ten times or spend 50,000 sovereigns in a specific shop, then another 50,000 on the gem itself. The game doesn't even hint that either the jar or the shop is special in any way.
* {{H-Game}}: Rather softcore, though.
* HandsomeLech: Desmond.
* HealingPotion: Three kinds, one of them heals the entire party.
* KillItWithFire: Luna's Fire magic.
* KillItWithIce: Luna's Ice magic.
* HonorBeforeReason: The reason why you are totally naked at the beginning of the game.

* MysteriousParent: [[spoiler:Desmond is actually the son of the goddess Althea.]]
* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: Two of Desmond's "exploits" are modelled after "Literature/SnowWhite" and "Literature/LittleRedRidingHood".
* OnlyMostlyDead: [[AvertedTrope Averted]] hard. If one of your party members dies, it's game over.
* OptionalSexualEncounter: Not surprisingly, there are several and not all of them are optional.
* ReallyGetsAround: Desmond.

* SayMyName: One of the most memorable gags in the game.
