I'm unbelievably late to the party on this one, but this game rules. Not quite Specter of Torment level quality, but damn close and definitely my second favorite Shovel Knight campaign. The sheer imagination and willingness to move on to the next idea super fast reminds me of 2D Mario in the best way. I felt it was a bit too easy and sometimes joustus got on my nerves, but otherwise this is a banger platformer that is absolutely worth your time.

I really need to replay this quadrilogy. Never finished King of Cards, but Plague Knight was my personal favorite and I felt had the most interesting story.

@DoorSSBM King of Cards doesn’t boast a super strong story but I do like the characters and how King Knight is handled overall. It’s also got some great humor but the whole series is already kind of known for that.

@MailmanSSB That's sweet, I'll for sure check it out. One of my favorite 3ds games. Don't think I'll ever find a better platformer d-pad than the one on the 3ds
