Shovel Knight: Treasure Trove Reviews
Shovel Knight is one of the finest examples of how to do retro without being a slave to it at the same time.
While the original game is a solid platform game reminiscent of a mixture of 8-bit titles from the days of the NES and the expansions following suit the whole package. As it now stands in Treasure Trove it is a brilliant retro platform romp that is full of charm and humour with characters who each have their own personalities and different moves. Personally platform games are not my go to genre. However Shovel Knight: Treasure Trove has been an exception to the rule. While writing this review I wanted to check something in the game so I picked my Switch up to check something and a while later after completing a level or two I remembered I was meant to be writing and not playing the game. A sure sign of a great game if it sucks you into it and you totally forget what you were meant to be doing.
Without a doubt Shovel Knight: Treasure Trove is a highly recommended and imprive version of the game with lots of platform and with an 8-bit retro look that will give many hours of fun.
