Shovel Knight: Treasure Trove

I remember this game being a download only in the 3DS eShop. Man, how far it has went. ..It's a shame really... We're never getting a Sequel.

ive literally bought this game like 4 times please play it you will not regret it

Mina The Hollower is out, and I want Yacht Club Games to survive, so I feel like I should write a review for this masterpiece that I played many years ago. In short, if you like retro 2D platforming, you should play these games. This is a collection of 5 amazing games including: [list] [*] [i]Shovel of Hope[/i]: Classic Medieval adventure. It's heroic and glorious. [*] [i]Plague of Shadows[/i]: Pretty much the same game as Shovel of Hope, but you play as a wicked alchemist instead of a respected hero. [*] [i]Specter of Torment[/i]: A very bitter prequel to Shovel of Hope. You play as a talented adventurer enslaved by the dark queen to help her build her evil empire. [*] [i]King of Cards[/i]: A parallel story to Specter of Torment. You play as a selfish but clever jerk who wants to become rich and powerful. Alongside the action adventure, you also get a full-fledged card game. (The card game is optional. You can complete the main story without touching it.) [*] [i]Showdown[/i]: A multi-player fighting game. All main characters are playable, as well as some iconic side characters. [/list] Every single game plays and controls really well. Some can get challenging at times, but is never unfair. Your character grows with you as you gain new skills, armor and allies along the adventure. The stories are well written and crafted with care. And the music. Ah, the music. It's 8-bit music, but it does extremely well to establish the atmosphere. Every main character has a theme song with at least 3 variations (one boss theme, one stage theme for the "Shovel of Hope" time, one stage theme for the "prequel" time), and as a musician, I can certainly say that every variation tells a lot about the character - what kind of person they are, and how they feel about the current situation they are in. I even bought the sound track and studied them. I hope my play time can convince you that these games are really, really good. The survival of the studio depends on their sales in the next few months, and I really hope they can make it. If you like 2D platformers, please do consider giving these games a try.

Скрипя зубами и проглотив обиду, я ставлю палец вверх и рекомендую эту игру. Для казуального прохождения она около-шедевральна. Вариативная, красивая, а какая тут музыка! Даже если вы не любите платформеры (как я), поиграйте в Лопатного Рыцаря, он стоит копейки на распродаже. В Treasure Trove включена основная игра и 3 сюжетных DLC, размером с оригинал. Плюс, бравлер (но он прям meh). Разработчики максимально душевные ребята, они заслуживают максимальной похвалы. И немножко (множко) хейта от ачиверов. Окей, всем адекватным людям моя стопроцентная рекомендация. Для таких же больных, как я — подумайте сто раз, прежде чем соваться сюда. Игру вам придётся пройти раз 5 с разными условиями, а потом ещё три раза по 3-4 раза для закрытия DLC. Герои разные, их механики достаточно сильно отличаются, чтобы было интересно для одинарного прохождения, ВОТ ТОЛЬКО УРОВНИ-ТО ОДНИ И ТЕ ЖЕ. Таким образом, зачистка локаций по 15-20 раз (а ведь есть ещё коллектаблсы) вам обеспечены. Плюс, только при прохождении без прокачки ты понимаешь, насколько неудобное тут управление, насколько много в игре рандома, насколько плохо читаются некоторые атаки больших боссов, и насколько чип-тюновская музыка выедает мозг. Я просто ненавижу эту игру. Я просто обожаю эту игру. В Мину ни ногой, извините.

As someone who really enjoys games like Hollow Knight, I had high hopes for this game. Unfortunately, I think this have is single-handedly ruined by the insta-death mechanics. Getting through the levels are frequently a chore, and I'm not enjoying myself as I'm just grinding to get to the boss and do it all over again. The bosses themselves are not even that fun to beat, most of them just die to spamming the green orb thing. If you like this game, that's great, but let this be a warning to others who prefer more modern games with better battle mechanics.

おすすめはします 音楽、レベルデザイン、プレイ感覚、アートワーク、コミカルなビジュアルに反していい感じにシリアスなストーリー、どれもすばらしい すばらしいんですが… レベルデザインのたどり着く先が 落とし穴と即死しかないゲームにたどり着いてしまう 即死、即死、一撃死、即死 その一つ覚え どのシナリオも同じ　結局、即死を連発するルートを用意するだけ なので、後半のプレイ感はかっっっなり　不快　なレベルになる ボス戦ですら即死トラップゲーになってくるので、まるで素人のつくった高難易度マリオをやらされてる感になって どんどんつまらなくなっていった とはいえ…おすすめはしておくという感じである [追記] やればやるほどゲーム性がカス　人気が続かなかったのも納得の出来である とにかく馬鹿の一つ覚えにイライラ棒をさせられるだけの難易度の上げ方しかできない これだったらライフいらねーだろって感じである さすがにストレスがここまで上がるとおすすめしないの方に寄ってしまう

[h1] PSA: Specter Knight and King Knight Campaigns are entirely their OWN games do not believe the misconception that you just play as them in Shovel Knight's levels! [/h1] Since this game includes 4 campaigns (and I've played each at least 2 times) I think it's only fair that I review each separately: [b] King Knight Campaign - Top Notch: [/b] I'm putting this at the top in case it sounds the alarms to a single soul that this game is literally big enough to be a full on sequel. Its map is ginormous and the item design is probably the best of any of the characters. His toolkit is extremely fun! He has the warioland shoulder bash and when he bonks it turns into a twirl that's more akin to shovel knight's pogo. The writing is definitely at it's funniest in this campaign, he's a menace and a full-blown egomaniac. He also has a full card game inside the campaign that I think is rather neat, but if you don't vibe with it it is entirely optional! I played this campaign to 100% completion because I simply love it so much. [b] Specter Knight Campaign - ALSO Top Notch: [/b] So Specter Knight's campaign is probably most notable for having the best movement. I absolutely don't begrudge anyone who prefers this to King of Cards. On my initial replay of Specter of Torment I assumed I would as well to be honest. This guy is so incredibly fun to move around with and has the best individual level design when taken in a vacuum. The only reason I rate this under King of Cards is that I loved every second of both and there are simply less seconds of this game. It's probably the shortest one if we go by average playtime but that can definitely work to its advantage! If you're looking for a short game to play and you own this and you assumed it was just playing as Specter Knight in shovel knight's levels then go play this right now. This campaign also definitely has the best story but I won't spoil any of that :) [b] Shovel Knight Campaign - Very Good: [/b] The platformer that started it all. A wonderful game that I've beaten on 3 different systems. I like it a lot! I don't feel like I really have to sell this one when 32.4% of players who own this have beaten it, whereas only 5.9% of people who own this have beaten King of Cards. Shovel Knight is excellent. I'm of the opinion that they were able to top it with the aforementioned campaigns but if you haven't played it do. It's a treat. [b] Plague Knight Campaign - Fine: [/b] Worth playing but is very much just a different move set in the same levels as shovel knight with some minor tweaks and new rooms. There's a reason this is the only campaign that isn't sold separately. His campaign was the first one added and you can tell. It's a fun time but you'll probably enjoy it more if you play it last and treat it like a small additional thing. It does add quite a bit of new stuff and I don't want to downplay that, but compared to the other 2 additional knights getting levels designed for them from scratch it really can't compare. It's not Plague Knight's fault though! At least he has a neat Speedrun!

The game is good but i played it on steam deck IT SAID IT WAS VERIFIED but the game runed at 120 or 144 fps and the game speed is tied to fps so i kept banging my head against the wall playing the game at potentioally double speed difficulty for no reason still i finished the game on desktop and it is perfectly fine
