Shovel Knight is the Greatest Game Ever Made
Not actually, but I wanted to start a Shovel Knight appreciation thread. I genuinely think it’s one of the best 2D platformers ever made, and every little detail is well thought out and charming. The music is absolutely incredible, and the fact that you can play two additional campaigns, with a third one coming soon is pretty fucking cool. Shovel Knight is one of those few games where I immediately want to start over and play again every time I beat it, and if anyone reading this hasn’t already played it, I couldn’t possibly recommend it enough! It’s like all the old NES platformers you remember, but MUCH less gimmicky, and with much better controls and sprites. It’s easily the most fun I’ve had playing a 2D platformed! (Sorry Mega Man 2!)
Well who am I to argue with correct
Shovel Knight is definitely my favorite indie game. I’ve bought it twice and have beaten each campaign a couple of times. Also, I think it’s safe to say that the best campaign is Specter Knights.
I got shovel Knight for 3DS, and holy shit I loved it. Wasn't a huge fan of Shovel Knight or Plague Knight (Never actually beat Plague Knight's story), but specter knight. Hoo boy. It's just so much fun. The movement, the attacks, the music, the bosses. I'm honestly a huge fan of the Mega Man X mode with the wall jumps, but normal is fun as well.
I'm yet to play Shovel Knight, but from what I've seen it seems right up my alley. Always in for a good retro game. I bought Bloodstained: Curse of the Moon for the same reason, hoping to get Shovel Knight soon since it's on sale.
