Great High Quality (Now Standalone) DLC
Just as with plague knight, this is a different experience than both plague knight and shovel knight. I think it's safe to say that it's even more different from the base game than plague knight was. There are many more mechanics added in to levels, boss fights have been changed significantly, etc. The controls of specter knight are a little awkward at first (it took awhile to get used to auto running up a wall you move towards and wall jumping when you press jump as opposed to releasing jump), but once you're used to them it's a very smooth well paced experience (especially with the armor that lets you grind). I would say that this is a bit easier than the other two campaigns partly due to how specter knight's main mechanic, the slash dash, works, but it may only seem that way since I'm generally use to how the levels and various enemies work. The only reason I'm giving it 4 stars is because they still plan the release king knight with the treasure trove, so while it's not a bad decision to get this standalone, the treasure trove is still a better deal.
Is this helpful to you?
