Inside the game
THE QUICK INTRODUCTION
What’s it all about?
A downward shovel strike in Shovel Knight can do two jobs: damage an enemy and provide the bounce needed to reach the next platform. That connection between combat and movement makes enemy placement part of the route. Charging ahead can lose a useful opportunity to gain height or avoid an obstacle.
Treasure Trove is the collection, so its separate campaigns should not be mistaken for extra copies of this catalogue entry. Different characters change how familiar-looking platforming situations are approached, and the package also includes Showdown. Start with a campaign and learn its movement before pursuing every optional challenge. Players who enjoy responsive platform combat will have more to explore than one hero’s path.
