More of the brilliant Shovel Knight, now with new cool moves. I like it when a game moves good.
I have not tried the King Knight’s adventure yet, but Specter of Torment was already MUCH more enjoyable than Shovel of Hope and Plague of Shadows. Smooth controls and fun abilities really brought this DLC to life.
The best Mega Man X game
I had fun with this one.
This series has great platforming action, and this one is no exception.
Perhaps a bit short for what it is, and it's a shame you can't change the character's genders like in the original.

Another great addition to shovel knight. I liked this one a lot more than the plague knight dlc just the way movement and combat worked in this one felt more fun. Also neat to see prologue stuff and how the Empress rose to power and all the knights building their forts/areas
Absolutely banger of a game. The movement is so slick and several areas feel slightly more challenging than the original. The story is kind of so-so but ya feel bad for Specter Knight as the game progresses. Spent so much time on the climbing minigame and tbh I still consider it a fine time waster.
absolute banger, if shovel knight originally didn't wow you than this will, and the fact this is just a free DLC expansion is what's truly mind bending.
As good if not better than the original campaign. The seriousness lends itself well to complement the other humorous campaigns.
definitely the easiest of the four campaigns, but that doesn't take away from how fun it is at all! the story is particularly fantastic here, taking itself more seriously but in a very fun way. specter knight's move set is amazing, his slash feels so satisfying and his little wall hop thing has saved my ass more times than i can count. still sad polar knight didn't get his own expansion pack, but i digress. probably my favorite shovel knight game. if shovel knight ever gets a direct sequel, i hope we get to check up on Donovan
genuinely fantastic platformer with a surprisingly emotional story. i don't think enough people have played this one. after the hype died down from the original shovel knight this game really has not been talked about enough nor given the attention it deserves. everything about this game is beautiful and it is full of personality, charm, and damn good level design.
The kind of platformer that makes me love platformers. Creative and fun with challenging level design and a touching, tragic story
Dissapointing. After playing through Vanilla Shovel Knight and Plague of Shadows, I had high hopes for the second free character pack. Unfortunately this character overall pales in comparison to the other modes. Specter Knight is a slow character that can climb walls and slice airborne items from afar. The feels heavy and by the end of the game I felt like 80% of my deaths were due to it being buggy. Maps are remade entirely for specter knight and the gimmick feels forced within the map design. Music is remixed but nearly every track is worse, just making me long for the original. The story tries to be tragic which I don't think fits into the world of Shovel Knight particularly well so I never felt for the characters. The hub this time around is in the castle and is a lot more confined, especially given the lack of map screen.
Honestly it is a step down in every way from plague of shadows, and this seems to be with the choice of specter knight as the character (thanks to a kickstarter vote) and honestly I feel like he would be one of the worst mechanically other than polar knight.
If your not crazy about another playthrough, this is one to skip

Gameplay fluida e divertida, recomendo!
This game just confirmed that specter knight is the worst smelling character in the franchise
Kino level design and plot, you love to see it
It's honestly no contest that this is my favorite Shovel Knight campaign. It's so fast paced and fluent, the atmosphere is dark but never suffocating with plenty of levity, Specter Knight is a joy to control, and the challenge is perfect. It just hits all the right notes for a great action platformer.
My friends said this was a step up from Shovel of Hope and Plague of Shadows but holy shit. A step up is an understatement. Sure the campaign is a lot easier than the others, but it makes up for it by having the sickest movement in a platformer to date. It's absolutely insane the shit that you can do in this game. Plus, every single level is completely redesigned from the ground up to accommodate Specter Knight, rather than running through the same game like Plague of Shadows. It's incredible and I think anyone that likes platformers should play this. Also NEW MUSIC!!!
ESSE AQUI É FODA PRA CARALHO
Specter of Torment é a melhor campanha de Shovel Knight, ela pega tudo que torna a campanha principal boa, e evolui, trazendo bastante coisas novas.
Primeiramente, essa campanha, diferente da anterior, é realmente algo novo, a primeira dlc quase o mesmo level design (quase por que tem algumas...... POUCAS diferenças) ela tem as mesmas fases, os mesmos inimigos, os mesmos cenarios, e uns...2 bosses novos.
A outra campanha era extremamente decepcionante por ser apenas uma copia ainda com uma dificuldade fudida por causa da gameplay chata do Plague Knight.
Agora nesse aqui, é as mil maravilhas. O level design é quase todo refeito, tem partes que são ainda familiares a primeira campanha, mas a maioria é completamente novo. Tudo isso para acomodar a gameplay deliciosa do Specter Knight, uma gameplay rapida, complexa e divertida.
E de coisa nova, quase tudo, tirando o level design, temos muito cenarios novos, todas as musicas são novas, todos os chefes tem novos padrões, tem mais chefes novos aqui e são bem mais interessantes, e porra, tudo isso feito da maneira mais perfeitinha pra mim.
Outra coisa que se destaca demais é a historia, puta historia cativante, a unica que me deixou empolgado e cativado das campanhas, foi tudo muito bem feito.
Enfim, muito foda namoral, estou animado para o King of Cards.

seriously the best campaign of the four.
A fantastic Shovel Knight expansion. Specter Knight is a really fun character to play with lots of good mobility that's fun to take advantage of. It's also nice how you can play the stages in any order you please. Dashing through the levels cleaving through enemies and grinding down rails is cool as hell, plus the way he destroys blocks when jumping off them make for some really interesting challenges where once you jump you can't turn back! Great risk reward, very well paced too.
Uma prequela do jogo principal. Sinto q o sprites desse personagem é um pouquinho maior q normal, mas mesmo assim, é foda bagarai o fato de jogarmos com a morte, usando a prancha como slide e uma espécie de homeattack, achei a dança do casamento bem fofinho.
The endless tower climb is self-inflicted torture.
One of my favorite Chapters! the story tells about the origin of the sorceress and also the origin of the Specter Knight and how he became a living dead who was deceived by the sorceress the final outcome can end up being quite surprising to the point of seeing a different side of the character we control, the game it is much shorter than the previous ones but it is an excellent 2D platform game and very challenging!

this is my favorite of the shovel knight games, the way specter knight's scythe is implemented makes the gameplay extremely smooth and rewarding for making high risk decisions throughout every level of the game (which already comes naturally, but moreso with this game). all the details in the bar getting more customers, the armor knight recognizing who he truly is, and the recruited knights bantering with you after your battles, make the game feel alive and i love it. specter knight's character arc as we learn more about his struggle with selfishness vs companionship is awesome to live through, ummm also idk what else to put the tower minigame is fun but god DAMN the achievements are so insanely hard to get, like you have to master and i mean MASTER this game to get some of them, but uh yeah cool game ive played it like [5] times total (might change) so uuuuuuuuuuh ummmmmm its 3:31 am i gotta sleep hoooly
The best shovel knight campaign.
Fire
She wasn't watching this one
These expansions don't hit as hard for me
A great follow-up game with a lot of fresh, well-executed ideas that don't stray too far from the formula to be jarring like PoS or KoK. A little too easy tbh, Specter Knight just plows through everything even though it feels badass as you do it. Surprisingly great story as well.
The new movement is a little fiddly, but it's more Shovel Knight! A lot more! And it's more substantial-feeling (and better) than the Plague Knight chapter, even if there's probably less playtime. High-effort stuff. Strong.
