Shovel Knight is a game of many features, and that’s before the inclusion of amiibo and additional campaigns, one which is out already and others to follow. But his journey would not be easy, because the Order of No Quarter, under orders from the Enchantress, aspire to stop him. Talk of the Tower of Fate becoming unsealed reached Shovel Knight’s ears and he set himself on his path toward the tower, to find the one he loves. With him gone, the Enchantress rose to power and spread evil across the land, making it her domain. Saddened by the loss of the one he holds dear, he gives up the life of adventure and exiles himself. One fateful night whilst exploring the Tower of Fate, they came upon a cursed amulet, which immediately takes over Shield Knight and boots Shovel Knight out of the tower. It begins with a land of Knights, which includes Shovel Knight and the Knight of his affection, Shield Knight. Only thing I liked better than that was seeing the included manual in the Wii U physical copy of the game, but enough talk of that, let us move on to the story. I really like it, it’s a good play on words, it captures the game’s protagonist perfectly and it holds humour. It truly captured what made those games what they were and gave it plenty of originality at the same time and then there is the description:Īlways honest and helpful, Shovel Knight is a shining example of the code of Shovelry: Slash Mercilessly and Dig Tirelessly! The comparison is unreal, it is all I can think about when playing through the game and reading its story. Shovel Knight is a great 8-bit 2D platformer puzzle adventure, which captures not just essence and music theme of both the original Castlevania, Super Mario Bros.
With a steady supply of updates and new game modes that were always originally intended, the game is still very much so alive and this is a very good thing. Shovel Knight is a 2014 game whose reign has not yet ended. A game that can now be played not just on home console, or portable, but PC as well, through the likes of Steam.
There is no wonder this game of humble origins, starting as a kickstarter campaign, became the success it is. New is not always better, sometimes old is and when you get a new old game like the one given to us by Yacht Club Games, Shovel Knight.
