| Game Analysis | Shovel Knight is a sweeping classic action adventure game with awesome gameplay, memorable characters, and an 8-bit retro aesthetic created by Yacht Club Games. You play as the eponymous Shovel Knight, a small knight with a huge quest. Shovel Knight has come to this valley with two goals: to defeat the evil Enchantress and save his lost beloved. He wields a ShovelBlade; a multipurpose weapon whose techniques have now been lost to the ages. Always honest and helpful, Shovel Knight is a shining example of the code of Shovelry: Slash Mercilessly and Dig Tirelessly! The Specter of Torment is the next chapter in the Shovel knight story. | |

Dissapointing. After playing through Vanilla Shovel Knight and Plague of Shadows, I had high hopes for the second free character pack. Unfortunately this character overall pales in comparison to the other modes. Specter Knight is a slow character that can climb walls and slice airborne items from afar. The feels heavy and by the end of the game I felt like 80% of my deaths were due to it being buggy. Maps are remade entirely for specter knight and the gimmick feels forced within the map design. Music is remixed but nearly every track is worse, just making me long for the original. The story tries to be tragic which I don’t think fits into the world of Shovel Knight particularly well so I never felt for the characters. The hub this time around is in the castle and is a lot more confined, especially given the lack of map screen.
Honestly it is a step down in every way from plague of shadows, and this seems to be with the choice of specter knight as the character (thanks to a kickstarter vote) and honestly I feel like he would be one of the worst mechanically other than polar knight.
If your not crazy about another playthrough, this is one to skip
