Wow. What a game! Ever missed the old school, 8-bit styled platformers you used to play on the NES? Look no further! Shovel Knight is your express ticket to Nostalgia City! Shovel Knight brings back the 8-bit nostalgia with it's fun, very unique, yet simple gameplay. Although the gameplay is simple and easy to learn, it does get quite challenging! It also features many familiar game references. Everything about this game is simply fantastic! The gameplay, the nostalgic retro music, and the fun storyline including some old english writing. Basically, you play as Shovel Knight and your on a quest to save your girlfriend, Shield Knight. There are many different bosses and enemies to fight, as well as items to collect. You have lives so if you lose your lives, its not your typical "game over." You end up back at your previous checkpoint and you lose a portion of your money you've collected. You can always collect some of the money back if you get back to where you've been defeated. This makes gameplay a little easier unless your desperate for gold. The coolest part is, Shovel Knight isn't just a wonderful game you can get for only 25 bucks, it's also available for any platform! If your the type who loves modern platform games but miss the old nostalgic 8-bit graphics, this masterpiece has your name written on it! Highly recommend this game!

i actually have never played one of the old school platformers besides the original Mario, but this game still was challenging, fun and with an engaging yet simple story.

the idea is that shovel knight and shield knight where once great knights until a cursed amulet took shield knight away from shovel knight, causing him to retreat into solitude, but in his absence, the foul enchantress and her order of no quarter conquered the land with evil intent, so you as shovel knight must fight your way to the enchantress to stop her and her villainous squad.

the gameplay is simple and elegant with enough variation so it makes you think through your actions, and this is the first time a game made its bosses feel like a worthy challenge, rather than stupidly easy or stupidly hard.

so if you are a fan of any type of platformer then definitely give this a play.

One of the best games I have played in a long time. It reminds me of the old 8 bit games like ducktales and super mario bros 3, but with much more customization. You can add health or magic or upgrade armor while trying to find relics (different weapons) in game to use. I love the secret areas that are built in and the collectible music scores you can try to find that actually will give you access to the music in game. Price is good too. You can get both verstions (3ds and wii u) for the price of a normal game. Even though I beat this game rather quickly, it was a great value and provided me lots of fun.

I have not finished the game yet ,but only because of the game's addicting (albeit frustrating at times) difficult. While the story is intentionally kept simple, the sprite work is where the game really shines and there is so much to do in terms of upgrades and collectibles.

This is one of the really great throwback games. It reminds me a lot of the original NES Megaman series, except that in many stages the relic acquired aids you in getting to the final boss rather than obtained after beating him. It also has a good mix of humor, and a pretty cheesy and predictable plot, as most games of the time did. However, it does have its flaws, chief among them are the lack of difficulty (not something typical of the 8-bit era) and short completion time. Sadly, to me, this is one of those overpriced games which underdelivers on its promise.

Oh, and it's less expensive on the Nintendo eStore than Amazon.

One of the best games I've played in a long time. If you're a fan of classic platformers like Mega Man and Castlevania, you've love this game. The graphics and sound are NES retro and the play control is tight. The game is very challenging, but you have infinite lives, so you won't have to keep starting over at the beginning of a level every time you fall down a pit. It's the kind of challenging that makes you want to try again, not the kind that makes you frustrated. The story is good and has lots of humor. There are plenty of extra challenges besides the main quest, too. There's a lot here to keep you entertained for a long time.

Found this game to be really challenging and a blast to play through. Each death was frustrating, but the pacing of saves was done just right so that you never felt like you'd like too much progress. That pacing kept it exciting enough to try one more time, and then another one more time, and another...

Stayed up late getting the last fight down, and then SURPRISE! I won't ruin it any more than that.

If you're up for a challenging game that is highly rewarding, pick this one up. I don't think you'll regret it.

On any console this has to be among the best long lasting video game one can play and enjoy always with the same pleasure.It is a classic for a reason and I can only recommend it to you all. Sadly its price has been increasing steadily on the 3ds in these recent year so if you can find it for a great price on the handheld just go for it.It used to be 29.99 $ now price can go up to 45$ so yeah...

Desde que jugué este titulo, mi prejuicio hacia la nueva hola de juegos con gráficas nostalgicas en 8 bits ha cambiado.

Antes de Shovel Knight, solía creer que los juegos con gráficas 8-bits eran un flojo intento de lucrar con la nostalgia, sin embargo despues de jugar este titulo, me di cuenta del error en el que estaba. La elección de gráficas nada tiene que ver con el juego, si el gameplay es divertido y adictivo..

Sin embargo, aquí el feeling de 8 bits realmente es la estrella también! La música es muy buena y lás gráficas a pesar de ser simples, estan bastante bien hechas.. Una obra de arte digital.

Combina elementos de plataforma y RPG (Hay NPCs con los cuales hay que interactuar) y el juego presenta un reto divertido sin ser un juego impasable.

Altamente recomendable.

Le jeu a été rapidement envoyé, neuf sous blister. Mais c'est la version US, totalement inutilisable sur nos consoles françaises. Il aurait au moins fallu le préciser dans l'annonce.
