While the levelling up mechanic is still amiibo exclusive for the time being, Yacht Club Games have included the Shovel Knight Fairy to accompany your character across three games.

It’s a very inclusive addition that’s as customisable as you’d want it to be and the new sprites are well designed.Ĭooperative mode is now available for all non-handheld platforms, no longer requiring the Shovel Knight amiibo for Wii U. You can now select the gender of all the main characters, ranging from Shovel Knight, the Order of No Quarter, and even the final boss.

Firstly, there is now a Body Swap mode, inspired by an episode of Adventure Time and the concept behind Ms. Yacht Club Games have even added a few things to Treasure Trove. It’s catchy enough to emulate the classics of the 8-bit era and blend in well with the game. One of the few gaming soundtracks to have endured in the consciousness of gamers in recent memory, it still holds up well in 2017, three years after its initial release. It’s all accompanied by a stellar soundtrack by Jake Kaufman (who has worked on WayForward’s Shantae franchise among other games).
