Shovel Knight - Nintendo 3DS

For any old school gamers out there, Shovel Knight makes you feel right at home. It brings back fond memories of games like Ducktales. I played it on an international flight and it made the time fly by!

It's a well made game. Style, music, and gameplay are all excellent!

If you know what this is, you already know that getting this game released was more of a fan service than anything else. The game is still excellent, the DLC is free, and the hard copy with a nice, thick physical manual is very nice.

For anyone that played classic games like Mega Man, Metroid, Castlevania, or Super Mario Bros, Shovel Knight will check all the boxes. incredible soundtrack and level design make this a modern classic with retro inspired roots.

Shovel Knight is packed full of content and will keep you entertained for a long time. With New Game+ and all of the upcoming FREE dlc, you will be missing out on a jewel of a game.

This game does nothing new, but it does what it does great. It has the feel of Super Mario Bros, Mega Man, and even Duck Tales all set in a fun world with groovy 8 Bit music.

If you like old school platformers this is great. Game is difficult, but not overly so. Art style is awesome and really looks like old school games. Would reccomend.

Shovel knight is a great throw back to the 2D megaman/castlevania/metroid era style game. Not too easy, but not too hard, and very rewarding. Game is a bit too short for my liking, beating the game multiple times doesn't really shake things up, but a nice overall game to pass the time.
