Shovel Knight: a love letter to 8-bits
« on: March 26, 2013, 08:04:52 am »

After the obligatory search, I haven't found a topic for this delicious-looking Kickstarter goody.

It's an 8-bit game that looks very promising, taking elements from such games as Castlevania, Mega Man and Dark Souls. It is a side-scroller about a knight that beats villains with a shovel. A shovel. I'll let that sink in for a while.
It also boasts beautiful NES-style graphics and an amazing 8-bit soundtrack.

But why listen to my poor skills of presentation? Here, have some screenshots:

And, of course, a Trailer.
