    You will not regret having this in your game library. More difficult than I thought when it came to beating certain bosses.

    Purchased for my son who loves mega man and chip tune music . Looks and sounds like an NES title, he said its a mix of mega man and duck tales. A nice bonus was that it came with a soundtrack download.

    Shovel knight is an amazing retro experience. Completely recommended for everyone who loved playing 8 bit games, and also to those who never had the chance to experience the incredible design and the sometimes frustrating difficulty of these works of art. As a homage to old videogames, it is perfect, and as a videogame of its own, it is absolutely fun and well executed.

    This copy includes the incredible soundtrack as well as the plague knight dlc. Very nostalgic game with references to Mega Man and Duck Tales of the old NES era. Anyone looking for a throwback should check this title out!

    I picked this game up expecting it to satisfy my craving for an old school platform game. Honestly I just want to stick with Nintendo at this point because all this game caused me was frustration. To difficult and I don't enjoy the level design. I can see how so many people enjoy it though, reason for the 4 stars
