a better party fighter than smash but not balanced or strategic enough for competitive play and the single-player content feels really bad
Please nerf Enchantress, our friend keeps maining her and there's nothing we can do to stop him
I'm not a big fan of Showdown, but I do think its a fun enough platform fighter. Insta-death pits/lava and a lack of recovery options (unless I just suck lmao) make me like it less than I want to, but as a totally free gamemode added on to Treasure Trove, I think it's a good time.
Also it's got THE BAZ as a playable character. Can you feel the storm? It's coming...

I played this game as Tinker Knight. It is pretty cool and creative. I like how they handled "what if shovel knight was a fighting game". But I don't really fund a whole lot of reasons to play this game on both a casual and competitive level. Just me tho idk.
Buenazo pero me faltaba jugar con mis amigos :c
It was really cool to be able to play as the other Shovel Knight characters in a party platform fighter, but the lack of online multiplayer in this mode makes me unlikely to come back.
Having 3 seconds of I-frames in a fighter was a mistake but like this is a nice side gamemode to just pick up occasionally. Playing as the other characters that aren't shovel plague specter and king is awesome and I am a Mona main
"A 'Meh' Fighter..."
The “meh” entry for me, which is fine because it is sort of an “extra”. It's a fighting game combining various characters and stages throughout the series, and it takes some elements from famous fighting games to provide a decent package.
Overall, the presentation is neat, and the controls are solid, but it's not very compelling. It’s a nice addition but I wouldn’t buy it outside of Treasure Trove . I would Not Recommend it unless you’re a huge fighting game fan and would like to see these characters duke it out with various customization options and unlockables…
Final Verdict: 5/10 (Average)

This was abysmal holy shit.
Nice try, but I've played Jump Ultimate Stars, I know sprite based smash clones can actually be good
This makes a better tech demo for potential shovel Knight dlcs based off other characters in the franchise than it does a fighting game
I love that they made this, but a 2D platformer like this was never made to be a fighting game. Harmless since it is free but nothing all that great.
this is just not very well designed
Kinda meh as a standalone game, but an incredibly fun bonus gamemode that comes with Treasure Trove.
Determined to do whatever it takes to rescue his beloved Shield Knight, Shovel Knight proceeds to clash against tough adversaries Plague Knight and Polar Knight in a battle of...
...whoever can get 12 gems first.
Yacht Club should really stick with platformers.

it's good but it's also a fighting game built like a megaman game and story mode on any difficulty other than easy is FUCKING GARBO
final boss easily the worst in the series

Shield Knight is bae but this was one of those "one and done" playthrough type of games. The gameplay is nice in theory but it feels like a meh Smash Bros clone trying too hard to be gimmicky.
Rápido, divertido y fácil de coger juego de lucha con todos los personajes de Shovel Knight. Resulta muy entretenido y satisfactorio poder jugar con todo el cast de personajes que hemos ido conociendo durante los juegos principales.
Now, considering that the franchise is well known and there's quite a good number of games, this may seem like a false statement but I can declare 100%, that this is no one's favorite Shovel Knight game.
Showdown is much better than I ever anticipated. I expected a throwaway extra mode but they delivered much much more. Not only does it have a ton of characters of old and a lot of new but it has individual campaign arcade mode for each character. The game has it's own feats and unlockables and multiple game modes. It's actually a ton of fun, even in single player mode. This smash bros / party fighter is well worth a look.
had the best time ever with my friends
This is definitely better than I expected, but overall nothing to write home about. There is a nice variety of characters, stages, and modes, but ultimately the core gameplay gets stale fast regardless. It essentially boils down to RPS with flashing lights, or projectile spamming.
One of the best and worst smash clones. Higher rating because of the unlock all cheat code
This game is not fun to play. The characters of Shovel Knight were not designed for a Smash clone like this. All of the little stories for each character is only a few levels long, but the combat system feels awful when in a match. Some of the stages that the stories use are full of hazards, making the game even more annoying. Also, the invincibility frames after getting hit don't last for nearly as long as they should, making it almost impossible to get out of being juggled in one spot.
I haven't tried the multiplayer part, but I imagine it would be better since you could play it with friends, but there are better games of this type to play with friends. Not worth getting unless you got Treasure Trove, which is why I decided to try it. Also, I hate the fairy mode with all my being.

The meta never recovered after Propeller Knight was banned from competitive.
The only reason this exists is for a stretch goal although the character interactions are nice. I feel like Treasure Trove could have gone without it.
A fun little bonus reminiscent of Subspace Emissary from Smash Bros. Melee. The care and polish Yacht Club puts into their games continues to impress, even when it isn’t my favorite genre.
This fighting game with unlockable characters from side characters to bosses and generic enemies is surprisingly quite fun! Play against people locally controlling a wide variety of characters with different play styles! I didn't play it for long but in the short time I played it was still a blast! Nice fun little distraction.
This is not really an amazing fighter or standalone game. It works best as a party game addition to the Treasure Trove. Do not get it on its own. It’s still not bad, just fun, benign fanservice. Best treated as a minigame.
