    If you are a fan of any NES classics such as mega man or ducktales, pick up this gem. One of the best experiences in many years. Highly recommended

    This is one of the best indie games to release this generation. It’s incredibly fun to play and nostalgic for people who grew up originally playing 8-bit games. It’s also a great game for kids and it’s totally worth the price since the developers keep releasing free dlc.

    If you like classic 8 bit games like Super Mario World and Castlevania then you will love Shovel Knight. It's an instant classic. The game also comes with a download of the soundtrack.

    I missed the chance to play it on dlc, glad they made a stand alone version. Very reminiscent of Mega man!

    The game was cheap but well made. The levels and bosses were memorable and never felt repetitive.

    I picked this game up because a friend told me it was a lot of fun. I would say if you like old school Zelda, Castlevania, Metroid, or Mega Man than you will enjoy this game. Some moments you want to throw your controller because you missed a jump and other times you do a touch down dance because you beat a boss with 1 heart left. Overall it's a great short game and worth every penny.

    Sure, Shovel Knight will push all the right buttons for those of us who loved Mario and Mega Man. But it's more than that, because of fantastic level design, simple but fun game play, and fairly immense challenge towards the end.
