[KILL KNIGHT] Full Game Full Combo (Sever Mode) - 5,299,214 (Former WR)
24KILL KNIGHT is an excellent twinstick shooter, clearly inspired by elements of Sorath games and Doom. The game is very high intensity, even on the easier difficulties, and can be outright brutal on the harder ones.
This run is on "SEVER" mode, which is all 5 layers back to back without dying with what feels like Knight difficulty damage. Just clearing this mode is hard enough, but it also has score ranks as well as challenge badges like the rest of the levels. K rank seems to just be 5 million points on the dot, but I don't know the exact targets for each challenge badge, as the end screen doesn't actually say the targets unlike the layers and instead it just shows it on the main menu if you completed each. This run should satisfy all three, as it's faster than my first run that got the time target (42'05"), has higher carnage bonus than my first one that got that (442560), and is full combo. Note that while your combo is cleared before the final boss, it has its own combo counter that counts up with each health bar phase, and you need to keep that combo as well by killing each phase quickly enough.
This was pretty challenging to do, this took me 38 hours after getting all the achievements in the game, for 86 hours total in the game. It's quite easy to die in certain sections, while in other spots if you kill everything on the screen too quickly, the next wave doesn't spawn in time for you to reliably continue your combo. I'll type up a comment with timestamps on all the spots where you need to be careful to not drop combo, once I watch my footage again and note them down.
As of upload date this was world record for the mode, but is far from optimized - while I do make some efforts to get big hyper modes for carnage bonus, I really should have been using a different heavy weapon and trying to spam wrath burst more, and prioritizing time bonus more than I did. I tried to swap heavy weapons, but I was just too used to judgecannon to swap after dozens of hours. My loadout was (V-III-V-IV-VI) as can be seen on the score, but in plaintext that means I was using (conflictors - judgecannon - demiguard - heavensworn - fallen pyrite).
EDIT: Looks like I got passed, now former WR.
