UPDATE: With the announcement of Shovel Knight: Shovel of Hope: DX, it appears this issue COULD be solved, if SoH DX includes Plague of Shadows, or Plague of Shadows is released standalone in the future. Will update this description and potentially take down the video if this is the case.
A mini buyer's guide for new players, plus an explanation of YCG's whack release history and how they can fix it. The Shovel Knight series has a serious problem with accessibility, and it's time Yacht Club Games fixed it.

As someone who impulse bought Shovel Knight: Treasure Trove for ~6 bucks as the eShop was closing, I gotta day it is hands down the best bang for my buck I've ever gotten. I already have over a dozen hours and it is the PERFECT 3ds game to pick up and put down at ease.

@pikapete2719 3 года назад

I would agree if it weren't for the existence of the cheat code in the old versions of SK, which is why I think it should probably be added for free. DLC is the second best option, though.

@@randomguyontheinternet7940 That is the purpose of the hashtag and this video overall, so that people bring this issue up more to them in general.

@donnylurch4207 Год назад

I also got it new on Wii U. I bought Treasure Trove on Switch when it was still incomplete and just thought it was rad of YCG to honor that Kickstarter promise and keep updating the original release for free. That's unfortunate that it's become such a quagmire for new players, but I can say the full package is certainly more worthy of $40 than most AAA games are worth $60-70.

@SilverAura 2 года назад

Wow, I didn't realize my little $15 purchase inflated to $40. Thanks for reminding me to check it out again. Here I thought these were just free updates for anyone who purchased "Shovel Knight", I had no idea it got this convoluted. After finishing the video, and coming from a very game developer mindset myself, I'd have to agree with your final solution. Not necessarily for the same reason, but because ultimately that's what the original sale for the game was up until the day nobody had a choice before most people even realized that day came and went. Re-update Shovel of Hope to an OG variant that includes Plague Knight as the NG.. x? like "Shovel Knight" was until all this confusion started.

@shadedzeal8482 3 года назад

Jeez, the Great Rebranding™ really was a freaking mess. Hopefully YCG learns from it and doesn't do this type of thing for future titles.

Very interesting dilemma, as someone who bought the game when it came out in 2014 I didn’t know this was something new fans were going through. I definitely agree with your solution to add it to Shovel of Hope. I hope this gets resolved so people can play this amazing part of Shovel Knight!

Overall, great vid as always, realized I wasn't subscribed and immediately fixed my mistake.

The solution might sound simple like putting PoS as free DLC to SoH buyers... but then YCG is going to get the backlash of players who forfeited the money to get Treasure Trove. It was a bad decision not to have PoS downloadable for free with SoH from when SoT came out. If they go back and make PoS a free update tp SoH they might just get some fans going oh cool now I can play PoS.

@DefinitivNichtSascha 9 месяцев назад

Adding to how very consumer friendly Yacht Club usually is: I still think about how amazing it is that I got four of these five games completely for free when I bought the initial game. I have never heard of any other developer being so obliging to its customers. I was supplied with quality games for six years after making a single purchase of like 15 bucks in 2014.

Something similar-ish happened to me with Witcher 3, I bought the Base Game and the DLC "Hearts of Stone" in 2015, the next year "Blood and Wine" came out, didn't feel like shelling out the money at the time, so I waited, then the "Complete Edition" came out soon after which included the Base Game and all DLC, I didn't want to buy the game again I just needed "Blood and Wine" to complete it. I waited for a sale and the "Complete Edition" went on sale, but the DLC didn't?! the "Complete Edition" on sale cost just as much as the DLC "Blood and Wine" not on sale and I couldn't bring myself to buy it out of basic principal of paying the same price for less stuff. Still annoys me to this day thinking about it, I did end up buying "blood and wine", it went on sale eventually a few years after

Would be much better with more unique levels. I believe it should be a DLC to Shovel Of Hope, because that's what it feels like.

Plague Knight is definitely my favourite now. It's the hardest one to get the hang of, but once you do, it becomes amazing, it feels so good, you have basically unlimited movement options, you can reach every part of the screen, unlike every other character. People who aren't as skilled at video games dislike plague Knight, but out of all of them it's the one that talented players go back to the most

@Argletrough 2 года назад

I got the game on 3DS before PoS released, then later played and _loved_ it. When Spectre of Torment was revealed as a timed exclusive to Switch, I reasoned that I'd probably want to re-play the first two games on the bigger screen anyway so I got Treasure Trove there. As an aside, iirc the item menu on the 3DS touchscreen is especially helpful for the bomb parts in PoS (not played it in 7 years so who knows).

I've bought the pack for Switch but for a while I've considered buying the single ones in case I wouldn't have liked Shovel Knight until I've realized there was no PoS And I wanted to play with that guy, so I suppose I can tell Plague Knight was the actual reason why I bought the pack. And so introduced me to the Shovel Knight franchise And nothing else to say, beside PoS being my favourite campaign at the point I didn't stop playing until I completed it because I wanted to see him get what he deserved. So #FreePlagueKnight (I'm Griffhodie btw for the points thing, but I wanted to comment anyway really good video :D)

@averypatrick5279 6 месяцев назад

I love every shovel Knight campaign but Plague of Shadows is nowhere near on the level of specter of torment or king of cards. While I can agree it's not strictly "playing shovel Knight as a different dude", it's pretty close to that. It's not so much a sequel as it is an extremely elaborate new game+. The lack of a standalone release makes perfect sense, cuz if I owned Shovel of Hope and then bought plague of shadows by itself, I'd definitely feel a bit ripped off compared to buying one of the other campaigns.

@pikapete2719 6 месяцев назад

fair take. personally at this point i don't think it should be a standalone... it is strange to me that KoC has objectively more content than SoH, but it's cheaper. it should be included in SoH. they could quietly patch it in and I would take this video down

@samyb4566 Год назад

@SliminBlue 2 года назад

I know this is almost a year old, but considering that Plague of Shadows STILL isn't available independently, part of me thinks that it isn't available independently for a reason. I get that PoS (if you wanna call it that) is quite different from the original game, the latter two were completely new games, which kinda made PoS just seem like a remake of the original with a new character, and currently from a critical standpoint, that's kinda the general consensus. Realistically though, if you're buying Shovel Knight now, you should probably just buy Treasure Trove, it has all the games, it's a better deal than buying them separately, and you get Plague of Shadows as well, so it is the best way to buy them all.

@bland9876 Год назад

I didn't know specter night was getting added to the original game so I have it separately on switch. He makes it sound like King Knight and Showdown were added to treasure trove but unless I have to beat plague knight to unlock them, I don't see those games in the list. Just shovel Knight, plague knight, and spector knight. Edit: I found a post that supposedly was from yacht club games in 2019 on Twitter that said that King Knight is available on 3DS so now I'm confused. Yes i updated all my 3ds games like a few month ago right befor the shutdown of the eshop. I hate you can't post links on RU-vid or I would link it.

@Dogbot3000 11 месяцев назад

You have to fully reinstall the game by deleting it and redownloading from the eshop for King of Cards, if I'm remembering correctly. Which you still can, and most definitely should, do before the full service shutdown of the 3DS. It will definitely bug out your save files though, unfortunately; -so be prepared to use the unlock code.- EDIT: Whoops I should've finished the video first. Guess you don't need the unlock codes any more.

@bland9876 11 месяцев назад

@@Dogbot3000 what worked for me annoyingly was if you go to the normal update section it didn't show anything but if you go to redownload the game then it shows there's an update and if you click that then it would update the game and so that's how I updated and was able to play King of cards. I beat the main story but not the card game.

@Marry_Gaming__ 3 месяца назад

kinda upset yacht club is further worsening this problem with shovel of hope DX, now there's gonna be three seperate ways to purchase that original campaign and none of them are feature complete. people are gonna have to double dip if they want to experience all the shovel knight content, assuming plague of shadows is still locked to treasure trove, and that just sucks :(

this is an assumption, not confirmed. SoH DX could include PoS, or it could not. We do not know at this time based on the trailer from the Presents, unless they've released a statement about this.

@abra_escaped Месяц назад

Yeah, dx looks nice but my first reaction to it was "why not just add this stuff to treasure trove?" I guess the reason is because the other campaigns probably wouldn't play very well in coop or with the other characters, but it's so strange to make the full collection bundle thing not have all the content for each game

@Serch_YB27 2 года назад

Yeah I just decided to play shovel knight and instead of just buying it and play it (as most games) I had to google why there wasn't just a "shovel knight" on the eshop, learn about all of the games, the order to play them, about this issue of how you cannot play "Plague of darkness" separately, then saw a sale of Treasure throve for arounf $25 USD and bought it. Yeah ,it was confusing but I'm glad I did it as I loved shovel of hope and am loving plague of shadows at the moment, and can't wait to play the others. #FreePlagueKnight

@randomguyontheinternet7940 3 года назад

Honestly this is just stupid. I only bought Shovel of Hope to see if I would really enjoy it. I was planning on buying the sperate bundles to get a 27% discount.

Hopefully this video gets their attention, I'd reccomend someone link this video on their Twitter.

@RottenJerv 2 года назад

I almost sorta got screwed over, it’s a weird story. I saw Shovel Knight and was like oh cool game. I went on my switch and realized Treasure Trove is 40 bucks and said I don’t wanna spend 40 bucks on something I don’t know I’ll like, so I bought stand-alone Shovel of Hope first and loved the game, and. I didn’t wanna spend extra money for the collection so wanted to buy the rest seperately… then I was told Plague of Shadows can only be bought in the collection… but for some reason on the PS Store Treasure Trove was 25 bucks and the price wasn’t increased and then I bought it there…? It was a weird situation but I ended up paying less then I could’ve payed on the switch Treasure Trove.

@pikapete2719 2 года назад

That's because they raised the price for new players from 25 to 40 when they released king knight and showdown because they were increasing the overall value of the game by a LOT. But new players got the update for free. I guess Playstation hadn't updated the price yet, or maybe it was just on sale

Only saw this response now but I’m going to guess it was the first option since it didn’t say 25% off or something just on regular the store

@ShadwSonic 3 года назад

Had I been involved with the decision making at the time, I would've urged them to make every campaign standalone right away, and charge what they will for each. However, because they waited so long, and caused so much confusion, I'd say they really can't just "make Plague standalone" now. An apology is required, and that means charging much less or nothing to get Plague for those who have Shovel alone. To that end, my suggestion would be either a free update, or a $2 DLC, for Shovel of Hope. Of course, even if this issue didn't exist, I'd still recommend to anyone thinking about finally seeing what this Shovel Knight thing is about to just get Treasure Trove, and start with the original campaign. If that part doesn't interest you, I doubt the others would, despite being legitimately different experiences. And if it does, then you _are_ going to like the others, again despite being different. Showdown is the one exception to the rule, but even discounting that and Plague, you _at least_ end up paying the same or less overall!

@walternunez4118 2 года назад

While I get the sentiment that Plague Knight should just have his campaign sold as a standalone for the sake of not confusing new players, you have to consider the fact that PoS isn't up to par with any of the other 3. Yes, PoS does introduce a handful of new bosses, reworks a few sections of some pre-existing levels, some new music and a new story, the fact that SoH, SoT and KoC all give you brand new levels, with brand new bosses, a brand new soundtrack and a brand new story makes them clearly worth more than PoS. Since PoS offers considerably less content than all of the other campaigns, instead of releasing it as a standalone title, I would make it a DLC for SoH. Oh, and just in case, yes, I've played all 5 games, yes, I know Plague Knight is really fun and has incredible movement and the bombs give you an insane amount of customization, but I'm just saying that it's unfair to price it the same as any of the other campaigns which have so much more content that justifies their price tag

Will my choise was always if you buy the standalones don't spend 40 bucks on plague of shadows it's not worth it in my opinion (for context I have treasure trove and I completed pos 100% both normal story and game +)

Aww, I knew nothing about Shovel Knight until a few days ago where I had Treasure Trove sitting there. Beyond amazed with how ambitious, silly, and entertaining this game is! I didn’t know those other games were standalones until just now, thought there was more! Had bought Treasure Trove due to its release in 2014 and the others being 2019 on Steam, guess I got a good deal with getting Treasure Trove then!

I’m so glad I bought treasure trove without buying any of the others because plague of shadows is in my option the most fun to play

I personaly would just download the crack version at this point lmao ( i mean i already did from 2015 )

@bunker9492 Год назад

I got the game around 2015 for 3ds and thankfully i didnt have to deal with this but it does sound extremely annoying to deal with though. Plague is also probably one of my favorite campaigns in the game but i also read somewhere that apparently plague knights campaign wasnt very liked but i dont really remember where.

They said they planned to make a standalone version of Plague of Shadows in 2017, it’s been 6 years. Over half a decade. I’m disappointed in them.

Was this ever fixed? Seems like Yacht Club quit making games and only publishes them now. I own this game on every system it's available for. So dumb of me. Lol

It's Shovel Knight Dig! On PS4 and Xbox. Let's see how fast this comment will age. Anytime now...

I think the reason of plague of shadows not being converted into the stand alone version is because when it was made as DLC, it is dependant from the original game campaing shovel of hope, since it recicled and uses most assets, level design and the same engine that was already builded ,coded, and presented on the game, in order to make a stand alone for that specific campaing, they have to remade the whole campaing, assets and engine from scratch cutting the shovel of hope content, but why you wanna buy the almost exactly same game with another character, it's not as expanded as the next ones after it. so the only solution i see it's making it a double pack for shovel of hope alone, like you can purchase the other 3 games as a standole while you can still get shovel of hope along with plague of shadows as standole following the same rule when it was launched, beating the shovel of hope campaing or the cheatcode from 2015, this could avoid a buuunch of problems since that you can enjoy the 5 games either separatly or compiled.

You either didn't watch the whole thing or decided to just poorly reiterate what i said in the video for some reason so either way this comment is very confusing

i was watched half ot the video when i made the comment so yeah, i'm dumb :3

@xxitjixx 7 месяцев назад

Damn, that explains why its so expensive if I want to buy it on pc since it was so cheap on xbox when it was only shovel of hope and plague of shadows

@amkod.715 Год назад

Man, steam baited me so hard, I bought the standalon bundle when the game was on sale because the name "treasure trove" sounds more like a new game than a definitive edition, now I'm stuck with three game and no way to play the last one unless I buy treasure trove for full price, I'm not playing 40€ for a game that used to be free, the game is so good but fuck them honestly

@cfishroll 9 месяцев назад

As someone new to shovel knight and just beat shovels of hope and started plague of shadows i will say the other 2 games might have more original levels but since plague knight plays so differently than shovel knight i love him he is best knight. Edit: i finished them all and still stand by my original point

@tham1472 5 месяцев назад

i bought it right at the beginning and was always so surprised when an update came out (did not followed the road map) and when I noticed, yes! another one 🎉 until today I love the series. ❤

@orangd147 Год назад

It just happened to me, in 2022! PoS is locked behind a 30$ paywall for me because I didn't know. Also, I wanted to see if I will enjoy the games, so I just bought some standalones first. This is insidious and I am pretty saddened :( Great video btw!!

@realtoreii 2 года назад

since YCG has been treating plague of shadows as a merely a 'tricky alternate quest' to the original (criminally underrating their work in the process), i agree they might be able to justify adding plague of shadows as a free update to the standalone shovel of hope, which would involve ANOTHER rebrand WITHIN an existing rebrand, but it would at least satisfy their weird aversion to releasing all of their content while technically providing a standalone release. which is a shame, because they EASILY could have gotten away with slapping a 9.99 price tag on it right from the start :,)

@un-inkpressivevideos9541 2 года назад

I genuinely had no idea this was an issue, probably cause I played the original back on the 3ds and when the plague was released I immediately used the code to get it (probably one of my favorite campaigns and characters from the 5 games) and got treasure trove once I got the switch. I didn't even know about this issue until now, I'm surprised PoS didn't get a stand-alone, especially after the whole rebrand

@Jota_Eze 2 года назад

I didn't like plague of shadows, for me was a modified version of shovel of hope, maybe i shouldn't play the 2 games in a row...

@sandwichboy1268 23 дня назад

Still an issue. They genuinely just need to release plague of shadows standalone or as a dlc for the standalone Shovel of Hope.

I took fell into this trap and gave a horrible review because of it. It is truly unfortunate that they have such a bad grasp on the players.

@dshaynietheawesome 2 года назад

What if because of the nature pf plague of shadows they instead of releasing standalone they released it ad dlc for shovel for shovel of hope specifically

@pikapete2719 2 года назад
