Shovel Knight

Ive been aware about Yacht Club not doing too well on money, so I waited for the games to go off of sale when they were on sale, and bought all of them at full price, Treasure Trove, Dig, Pocket Dungeon, and all of the standalone games from Treasure Trove, I luv this game company so much and even if it doesnt help that much in the long run, for lack of better words, I still wanna help as much as I can, I 100% this game on Switch a few years ago and will be doing it again with all of these now, this is truly an amazing game and I cant recomend it enough, and Im so excited to start playing Mina The Hollower as well, and exciteed buh again for Shovel of Hope DX, Tinker Knight is my favorite character and I cant wait to play as them in a way thats not Showdown, a big thenk yu to Yacht Club Games for still making incredible games, and I really hope this can help, even if just a lil bit

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.

Super fun game. The amount of extra content it has is insane and all of it is for free too. seriously, go support Yacht Club Games. They are goated af
