Great tribute
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is basically a homage to old NES games, and it's an amazing one. Visuals are lovely, music is great and gameplay is the best of classic 8-Bit games like Mega Man. Though it has some of those game's problems like knock back and damage. Overall worth while.

A GREAT throwback back game!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Old School game with old school graphics! A mix of Castlevania, Zelda and Ghost N Goblins for sure! Really like it! The only issue I had was the "save" progress feature didn't work for me last time! Hopefully a "glitch!"

Modern-Classic Retro 8-Bit GOTY
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love this game... Retro 8-bit game that has elements of Mega Man, Duck tales, & Mario 3. This is a love letter to classic game creation but does so without compromising the game play. Only down side is that the bosses are much easier than their levels, but otherwise a masterpiece.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars
If you like Old school you'll love this.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

A True Gaming Gem
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Shovel Knight is an amazing gaming experience harkening back to the old days of the 8 bit era. This game brings back fond memories of my Nintendo and Genesis days with true gaming platforming which combines Ducktales and Megaman to create a one of a kind experience and relive the golden age of videos all over again.

Great Side-Scrolling Platformer
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Although I had already owned the digital version of this game, I had purchased the physical copy for the manual that was included. The manual reminded me of the old manuals that would be included in games, which were the somewhat thick ones Also the game is a lot of fun and I wanted to support the developers.

A classic!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This game is a 2015 callback to the 90"s. Shovel night is like if u blended megaman, donkeykong country, mario with a midevil design. This game is all about timing and positioning its awesome to play a game that acts like a 90"s nes game but plays like a 2015 game.
