Game is in great shape! Glad to add this one to the collection. Happy to have a factory sealed copy of such an important and iconic game for the earlier indie boom

This is a great game. Other than some scrolling backgrounds which the nes could not do this looks like a top notch late nes game. It reminds me of ducktales, Wizards and warriors, castlevania, megaman and mario bros 3 rolled into 1 game and it works very well. The controls are great. You move through levels like an old school platformer wielding a shovel as your tool, weapon and pogo stick. You also get projectiles as well and magic that gives you short term fire power to invincibility. The music like graphics are straight out the nes era. Very 8-bit nes style. I know people use the generic term 8-bit even though a game may look 8-bit or 16-bit retro each 8 and 16 bit system had a different look. This is spot on nes style, graphics, music and gameplay. If you love nes style games this is worth a buy, heck if you just love good 2d games it's worth a buy.Read full review

Game is great, and the amount amount I paid was so much cheaper than other versions of this game and it came it little bit earlier than I expected.

Shovel Knight is an excellent 8-bit retro-style game that brings you back to the classics! The gameplay is solid and graphics are at the peak of 8-bit quality! If you’re looking for something nostalgic packed with fresh ideas then this game is for you! Highly recommended!

A lot of love went into the making of this game. I have played this game so many times and will continue to enjoy it for years to come. The graphics mimic the old NES style, and the level designs are even better than the games that inspired it. The story isn't entirely complex, but it doesn't take itself seriously enough to need an amazingly written one. Your girl is trapped in the tower of fate. Go save her. Nothing more is needed than that in an old school platformer. The gameplay feels great, its smooth and fun. If you don't care for these types of games, then I can't for certain that you'll like this or not, but I would at least recommend trying it, to any one who ever enjoyed an NES game, I couldn't recommend this game more highly.
