Shovel Knight is a sweeping classic action
adventure game with awesome gameplay, memorable characters, and an
8-bit retro aesthetic. It's a hot mashup of new and old! You play as
the eponymous Shovel Knight, a small knight with a huge quest. Shovel
Knight has come to this land with two goals: to defeat the evil
Enchantress and quest for his lost beloved. He wields a ShovelBlade:
a multipurpose weapon whose techniques have now been lost to the
ages. Always honest and helpful, Shovel Knight is a shining example
of the code of Shovelry: Slash Mercilessly and Dig Tirelessly!
But, between Shovel Knight and his beloved stands
a cadre of villainous knights. These terrible foes, known as The
Order of No Quarter, have been dispatched to prevent Shovel Knight
from reaching the Enchantress, and will pursue their mission at any
cost.
If you love games with perfect platforming,
beautiful art, infectious music, crazy bosses, humor and levity, and
real heart… Shovel Knight is for you!
NB: The PAX demo level is
Pridemoor Keep, the lair of King Knight!
