It's not faithful to the 8-bit era

...and that's a good thing. This game emulates the old games well, but uses the years of game design development that past since to its advantage. Color scheme is vibrant, controls are responsive and animations are smooth. There are also features that mostly didn't exist back then like a very developed system of character upgrades (that varies heavily depending on character, with Plague knight being able, for instance, to tweak their bombs in a variety of aspects at once), challenges, lots of anti-frustration features (like the fact that you only lose a bit of gold when you die, and you can optionally retreive it afterwards). If there's a single one thing that amazes me about this game, it's how well thought-out the levels are. It almost feels like a puzzle game sometimes in a way that moving a block a step right or left would break the level. You start to appreciate it more when trying different characters, since each other of them has a different movement set, and you can see how the levels (often literally the same screens of the levels) were adjusted to accout for that, and how sometimes different move set offers a radically different solution to the same (or similar) screen. The story is, as far as I can see, pretty interesting to read, even if game doesn't take it that seriously. I ended up actually caring for characters in a game that is mostly about platforming. I won't give it 5/5 for one reason: it often becomes annoying. Every area has its own gimmic but it often gets overused in the same way (especially darkness in lich yard) until it's no longer fresh and really frustrating.

Incredibly Fun

This game is incredibly great. Tight controls and reminiscent of a mash-up between mega man and super mario (with maybe some of the combat from castlevania thrown in), great music, challenging but fair, and overall just a lot of fun. I'll be getting this game when the mac version is out (I have it on the 3DS) for sure.

Fantastic game even without nostalgia!

Shovel Knight is a must-have game for any fans of the platformer genre. Even though I was not familiar with the classic NES platformers (I was too small at the time to play those games), I had a blast on my first playthrough. The levels are varied, the music is memorable, and the challenge is fair. I especially liked how its story was told: while not the most complex of stories, the storytelling was powerful, and most importantly, it happened hand-in-hand with the gameplay. I cannot recommend this game enough, and soon I will be starting my second playthrough. What are you waiting for?

My Game Of The Year 2014!

The best PC game of the year 2014! I love it! It starts easy and gets harder and harder. If you like the old Mega Man games, you´ll like this game, too. The pixel art and the different types of level are very charming. Also, the sounds fits perfectly. It´s like a flashback into the ´90s, as games were hard and full of love to details. Next year I´ll buy a New 3DS and this game will be bought a second time. So, grab your controller and have a lot of fun :)
