Shovel Knight: Treasure Trove | Years of Shovelry Have Paid Off 

Edd Harr Yeah I agree I really liked Plague Knights campaign👾

I loved playing the bomb loving bastard

I believe they specifically mentioned all the extra campaigns were originally going to be like Plague of Shadows, where you go through the Shovel of Hope with a completely different moveset, but somewhere when designing Plague of Shadows and Specter of Torment they realized it'd be a lot funner to create brand new stages that better fit the character's moves.

And even then, at least combat was okay. With Spectre Knight they knew more of what they were doing with platforming, y'know, to spice things up, but his campaign is the shortest, and the easiest! And King Knight . . . Well I hate him because I hate it whenever a game tries to make me play cards for more than an hour. And they only made CO-OP available for Shovel Knight, which I thought was kind of stupid, seeing as all his levels were almost exactly copy pasted for Plague Of Shadows, so you'd think you could do CO-OP for those characters, right? Granted, it would fuck up the story, but if that matters at all, then why are there *two* Shovel Knights? I think they should just continue updating the game so CO-OP works for every character. Except King Knight. He can fuck off.

Plus, it is what Plague Knight's POV, you can't judge him

You sure are posting alotta comments here... You do you though.

You say that ironically but robobots plot was like ridiculously dark

@@evilyoshimaster He does not say that ironically. At all.

Kirby is an elder God going against Eldritch horror and wizard alike while those both factions are in war, just because they ruined their picnic.

no joke, it actually is pretty dark

The way I see it, the enchantress gave King Knight pridemoor assuming that doing so would secure him in the order. But King Knight is so egotistical that he didn’t bother showing allegiance to her. So Spectre knight went to Pridemoor keep to put him in his place. That’s just how I interpret it.

King Knigh was just slacking on his renovations of the castle.

@@tylerfindlay3774 When you look at the phase locket in the game, it starts at 1/8 knights. He has canonically sworn allegiancd

He's basically a trading card nerd.

:)

It also indicated your health in resident evil 2 remaster

Woah, cool

Poor guy having skill issue hitting the birb bomber

Omg that’s hilarious

@@GengUpinIpin Shoulda just spammed Chaos Spheres.

There is a Sprite animation at Hyun's dojo channel I think

Aw man, the dream.

I mean he can in smash ultimate

Should've been the Nintendo exclusive boss fight

Rivals of Aether has shovel knight as an official character and if you play on PC you can play him against custom characters, and one of the characters the fans have made is meta knight. So you can do it if you fork over the money.

He disrespected best boi

Nah, he's right. Plague is gross. It's the worst campaign

Wren Audy honestly I don’t think it’s bad at all it is the richter mode of the game sure but it did prepare me for the challenges ahead and well I think it’s a satisfying story and a sweet ending

I do wish that it had original levels

He respects the ship tho, he’s good

ye

that would've been perfect, that or a fight with Link or Samus

YES

I feel like ridley would've been a better fit for the type of game shovel knight is

OMG I HAD THE EXACT SAME IDEA such a missed opportunity…

It sucks too, since it seems like the majority of people's complaints with him come from not being skilled enough to use him properly. His speed and maneuverability is unmatched by any other character, speedruns of his campaign can average 20 minutes faster than the others, especially with how he can destroy bosses with certain bomb combos.

Hey I'm with ya. It's definitely my favorite.

I'm just happy that someone other than me has plague of shadows as their favourite

Plague of Shadows is also my favorite, though I will point out that AntDude *did* admit that he played both of them back to back. I actually went Plague of Shadows -> Specter of Torment -> King of Cards -> Shovel of Hope when I picked up the game, so I managed to avoid that "same level design" burnout he mentioned. Granted it was in reverse, but still. Though to be honest, I love PoS because I'm a big alchemist fan and there need to be more playable alchemists outside of the Atelier series dammit >_>

ThePrankGD plague of shadows deserves more love

Not a legend yet. Still need one last dlc Shovel Knight: Shield of Heroes

Except Spectre Knight.

HellNutcase Well, technically speaking he wasn’t actually part of the Order of Knights just yet. He’s just trying to find Knights for The Enchantress so he can be set free. He doesn’t officially become a part of the order until the very end of Specter of Torment.

Well, you're right. Forgot about that.

I feel like he wrote the script in order of when he played the campaigns and forgot to go back and edit it.

In Specter of Torment, Specter's mission isn't to recruit him, it's to get him to stop slacking off.

Rivals of Aether: Am I a joke to you?

And blackjack, and hookers

*With Joustus and dancers.

_"In fact, forget the Jostus!"_

Agreed, i had ignored the updated content all these years thinking that they were just reskin + new playstyle, but they are new stories too? Awesome.

@@YouDonkeyfu What's cooler is that, by playing them in release order, you can notice how the dev team improved as years went by.

God yes

The Phase Locket was so OP they did an entire campaign to explain its backstory

@@mateusmundstock8225 The phase locket was so op they retconned its origin

Don't even get me started with the Chaos Orb

LAUGHS IN PROPELLER DAGGER

Nah he said gameplay not story

@@rinnnnnnnnnnrin meant his campaign but its probably better put as gameplay either way

Yeah really, I don't get the hate Plague Knight gets.

@@weregretohio7728 I love the gameply. My main gripe though s that there aren't enough courses to take advantage of Plague Knight's moveset. Most of the levels are from SHovel Knight's that dont fit with Plague Knight style except for some some off the course paths.

@@toledochristianmatthew9919 i do love that jump combo you can pull of in king knight stage

This guy knows what's up.

It saved my ass a lot during Polar Knight's fight specifically

Oh yeah. Used phase locket WAY more than any other relic.

Broken relic.

@@HyveMindsGames the items mechanic was turned to a SKULL when the phase locket and will skull was introduced

Really good? Yes. One of the best soundtracks EVER? Ehhhh I wouldn't say THAT.

@@Afrominican1 I don't know man, some of the songs in Shovel Knight really go toe to toe at some of the best video game soundtracks of all time. Jake Kaufman doesn't mess around with his tunes

Yep I even got the vinyl soundtrack

The game's soundtrack is second only to Sonic's which is really saying something.

@TheSoundPainter I'm not sure since I got it for my birthday but it was from Japan

And Shovel of Hope is the best duck tales sequel

@@Huntgaming- sequel? That's the original

O_O

You probably haven't played Wario Land 4

@@pikster2155 My bad. I always get the orders of the games confused because it got all weird when Microsoft bought the series

Me too

Same.

The rng with getting all the cards is a bit annoying tho All the gold grinding...

Somehow I missed out on it back in the day and in fact I only even very recently updated my copy of shovel Knight to be able to play it. I have the 3DS version and there is no smash Brothers like multiplayer game in that version.

"You are steadfast in your resolve... Maybe there's hope for us yet..."

Well they’re working on a game called Cyber Shadow and it looks to be heavily inspired by Ninja Gaiden, which is kinda ironic considering Shovel Knight was inspired by Mega Man.

Um what about shovel dig

@@kennethquintero5356 They are just publishing Cyber Shadow. It is actually just made by a single guy.

While I 100% understand if they wanna give Shovel knight a break after Dig, I'd honestly love if they eventually made full campaigns for the rest of the Order of No Quarter. I mean come on, Propeller Knight is RIGHT THERE. He'd be perfect for platforming!

PUT HIM IN YOOKALELE

“couldent”

How come you’ve never been a fan though?

Shovel Knight is the Indies GOAT.

If I may ask, why aren't you a fan of Shovel Knight? I personally think its one of the best games of the 2010's

That's a shame you don't like it, but to each their own, I guess.

Spooky ex machina magic.

Lots of practice.

Kick flip

I still play it on 3DS even though I have it on PS4 and Steam too, its just so easy to pick up and play on it.

The new king of cards dlc is not on the 3DS unfortunately

@@Marly345 it isnt? i thought only showdown wasnt in it.

@@Marly345 Showdown isnt on 3DS. King of Cards is most definitely on 3DS.

the 3D is still the best exclusive feature imho.

same

Also same

I played that game recently on PS Now, and it’s honestly one of my favorite games of all time.

@@kennethquintero5356 I tried playing Tearaway on Vita and PS4 and I dropped the game both times. I think it mianly has to do with the games soundtrack.

No one has played tearaway unfolded.

I just thought that Tearaway was much better as a Vita game. The PS4 one felt like a bit too much Tearaway (as well as Sony further throwing the Vita under the bus).

@@Melkac yes they have bruh

I prefer Specter of Torment

The story is good though the gameplay is my least favorite of the 4.

@kingvideogames

The enchantress never said that he was the first one to join.

@@seniorshrek6197 But, he was. Did you see the ending of King Of Card?

Agreed the bomb system is a huge plus

Specter Knight later on: I must protect my bro's son.

Plague Knight is a simp

Same. I don't get why so many people dislike Plague Knight's gameplay, I find it the most fun out of the four. He thinks it's a lesser version of Shovel of Hope, but to me Plague of Shadows feels like an even better version of Shovel of Hope.

Plague of Shadows is my favorite too, in almost every way. The only thing I didn't like is having to spend so much time fiddling with the combinations, but the one or two best general purpose bombs are good anyway and so satisfying to use.

Big agree

Lol

I miss the days of being able to turn on cheats for games, especially for stuff like GTA where you could become the apocalypse on the town.

Grineer Slayer gta still does cheats

Huh, I should try the cheats actually...

I used the butt cheat

I have a explanation just my thoughts pk is going through the same stuff and fights that shovel Knight is going through

It was first extra bit content they made for the game, glad to see they improved since then

Plau ge knight

I can’t forgive it for that one stupid jump in the first level.

What about it? I liked it, personally. He got what he wanted... and deserved. ;)

Well I feel like a lot of people hate King Knight now because of how much of a jerk he was at the end. (Although it fits his character)

That kinda the point, it not only a prequel to the shovel mythos but it just make a lot of sense when ya consider how much of a cunt he was previous to this. He could've made valuable life lessons and think of what he more value most on his life like friends and his mother but nope... He didn't learned in the slightest wish is fucking sad. I hope after shovel of hope he could atleast consider his actions.

Go for the treasure trove collection. Really good deal there.

you do

*Laughs in knight not night*

Hope your day gets better!

Ahhhhhh, today's a good da- ah shit I hit the bu- AHHHHHH HHHHHHHHHHH WHYYYYYYYYY

How do you think they could make the triple arrows work?

Well they could have a double sided card, one side with the arrows and the other side without arrows

Abaddon CK I feel like games like those just work better in single player. Gwent is amazing in Witcher 3 but the standalone multiplayer version just doesn’t do it for me. Systematically collecting better and better cards by defeating “bosses” like a card rpg is super satisfying and just not possible when it goes multiplayer.

......what?

@@diannejohn5346 context: Smash Bros fans are super annoying. I know cause I'm one of them. A -sightly more- sane one, i must stress

More of kickstarter success, but yes. Though I wouldn't really put cuphead nearly in the same category regardless, plenty of more successful, high quality indie games.

@@sinteleon oh right...

While I love the gameplay, I did not like the story or joustus of King of Cards. Spectre of Torment is by far my favourite

Theodore Smith still worth the amiibo gotta flex on the non Nintendo people

Well, Custom Knight Mode is still exclusive to Nintendo consoles, so there's that

Thats pretty scumy considering I bought the Wii u version and the amibo just to play co-op all those years ago.

Yep, and the Battletoads fight is available in the PC version

It's a bit anticlimactic for the last campaign, but I really liked it. It's empty, and it totally fits.

I hated it. It worked with SOT because it wasn’t obvious and actually changes the player’s perspective of Specter knight. The KOC ending has no redeeming qualities. The sad part is that an empty and depressing ending would’ve fit way better in SOT. It just felt wrong for the most cheery campaign.

Looking forward to that episode now that the entire game is out.

eh, it's only 20 hours for normal playthroughs. Completion can't be that hard. He completed Hyrule Warriors. A game Nintendo made, in part, to break him. This'll be easy for Jirard.

@@tomhill3248 You need to do every campaing deathless

@@lordpetroollo6979 OH...

Yep.

Yeah, even the Wii U, Vita's and PS3 versions

Also yeah I know assist trophy is good but still-

I thought before release that some assist trophies would be playable using single joy con in a seperate mode

So wah, shovel, virtua, crystal, and a few others would be playable

Jordan Ranney buy it from Mr Hat

kingvideogames wait mr hat sells you stuff in king of cards? TIME TO GO ON A HAT HUNT!

Same, I was surprised to see that disliking it wasn't an uncommon opinion. It was the first campaign I replayed and I really had no issues with it.

@@jamjars1971 Yeah I liked it too, I like Spector of Torment and King of Cards more, but it's still a lot of fun and I like it way more than Shovel of Hope.

Celeste best indie of 2019 easily
