Grew to one of my favourite games. Just goat material. Wonderful characters, soundtrack, level design and humour. The game itself has some depth and many reasons to play it again. Moving ending. 10 out of 10 crowns!
Shovel knight Treasure Trove is a fantastic saga o of games, with each feeling different from the last. That hasn't changed in the last campaign, King Of Cards. Although King Knight's movemment may seem limiting, it quicly becomes empowering with you gliding across the screen, almost in a trance and snap to once finishing a level and thinking about how fantastic it was. The graphis are nothing to sneeze at, with it feeling like a modern NES game. Overall, King Of Cards is a great way to end this amazing game, and I can't wait for Yacht Club's upcoming releases.
As a shovel knight fan for some years now, it's no surprise that I was eagerly waiting for this game for what felt like forever. I must've beat the 3 campaigns in treasure trove more than a dozen times since 2017, and I couldnt wait for king of cards. King knight was my favorite character from the start, and after delay after delay, my expectations could literally not be higher for this game. Yet somehow king of cards blew me out of the water in every way. The copious amount of platforming challenge youd expect from a shovel knight game is paired up perfectly with this new card game, Jostus, and it just works to an incredible degree. Yet what makes King of Cards stand out is its amount of content compared to the previous campaigns and its originality throughout the entire experience. While the first 2 games basically reused the same levels, and specter of torment switching things up but still keeping a lot of certain aspects of said levels, king of cards is a completely different experience, with dozens of levels each with completely different level designs, enemies, hazard, etc., while still retaining some of the classic enemies and designs from the original that worked so well. I cant reccomend this game enough and if you domt have treasure trove as a whole yet, really, what's wrong with you?
Has all the great charm of the first three games, but maybe it was shovel knight fatigue, just didn’t get the same buz. Card game mechanic wasn’t explained as well as it could have been too. OK game.
Overall the game is good, even though I prefered the controls and moveset of the other games. The story is good like the other games and King Knight is an interesting and funny character. The problem in this game is the card game. In most (if not all cases) I was winning by luck or by using items. The game basically forces you to learn a card game that will take you more to learn than finishing the game so it's pointless.
Nonetheless, the game is great and if you liked the others you should play this as well.
Great platforming as always along side with awful cards mechanics. I suppose to play platforming game instead I have got casino :( wery disappointed, have dropped in on the house of cards. This part have ruined the whole shovel knight series :( Now you never knoe what developers will ad next, racing?
SummaryPlay as King Knight, the gilded goon himself, as he travels through 4 new worlds and more than 30 all new courses, on a journey to best the Three Kings who rule over the land. With a high flying spin and a boisterous bash, he can crash through all who would dare stand in his way.
