A polished, crisp, well designed throwback to the golden age of NES 2D platform gaming - an absolute must own for your 3DS. The game controls excellent, has a wonderful soundtrack and masterful level designs. The 3D effect combines for a beautiful level of depth with the 8 bit art style if you enjoy the use of 3D (I personally don't, but appreciate the added polish).

This game is a lot of fun. It is 2D and side scrolling; it reminds me of Super Mario Brothers.

If you grew up with or appreciate NES-era platformers like Mega Man, Duck Tales, Zelda II, and Mario 3, you will LOVE Shovel Knight. It's brilliantly executed on every level-graphics, silk-smooth gameplay, amazing 8-bit style soundtrack, and even endearing characters and story. I couldn't recommend it more highly!
