muito divertido e ótimo para passar o tempo. Fazer o true ending foi extremamente satisfatório.

played on pc too. i can never get enough of this game, there's really nothing else like it.

The Shovel Knight theming work wonderfully, with slightly blockier GameBoy Advance aesthetics compared to the originals NES stylings.

The puzzle mechanics I found unnecessarily overwhelming for this style of game. Keeping track of all the different enemy type interactions when operating at such a fast pace with all the visual clutter - I just found the moment-to-moment gameplay really hard to read.

I just could not jive with this one. If I have a hankering for this type of game in the future, I think I'll just go back to Grindstone.

Finally managed to get the true ending! To be honest, this game was kind of a letdown at launch, with it being way too difficult for my smooth brain to get any enjoyment out of. But coming back to it recently, they've added a ton of ways to tinker with the difficulty, and as a result it's incredibly addicting now! There's a ton to unlock too, from new ways to play to cosmetics, so I'll continue playing this for a while.
Speaking of cosmetics, this game looks fantastic, and the music may be Jake Kaufman's best work since Mighty Switch Force!

Extremely addicting match-3 puzzler with tons of smart design qualities and an extremely addicting gameplay loop. The unique twist is its focus on combat, where you’ll battle enemies and attempt risky chain moves to maximize damage against hordes of enemies. It’s a welcome spinoff and an excellent addition to the wider Shovel Knight universe.

Shovel Knight: Pocket Dungeon feels like it's cashing in on the brand. The gameplay is rather dull. The artwork is bland; everything looks overly clean and almost chibi-esque. With the default sound settings, the background music (i.e., watered-down remixes of the Shovel Knight soundtrack) can barely be heard over the sound effects. As far as I can tell, there's no way to repeat the tutorial, which is frustrating.


Limiting availability to Netflix subscribers on mobile platforms is distasteful. I know that Netflix probably offered Yacht Club Games a good deal, but that doesn't excuse their actions. The Android version doesn't even appear to be functional according to reviews on the Google Play store.
