| Topic | Shovel Knight: Treasure Trove. What's your Favorite Campaign? |

It has absolutely zero character work that matters, but man does it flow well without making every level a total joke. It's an expansion on the Wario Land base that far exceeds its inspiration as an action platformer. And I'm a sucker for cards. Specter of Torment has the best movement, but Specter Knight's just too damn powerful. Absolutely benefits from challenge stages. But he's a good boy. Shovel of Hope's all-around solid, but I never found it particularly exceptional outside of a few auto-scroller setpieces and Propeller Knight's stage. It's very, very good, excellent soundtrack, but it's more a game of consistency than it is a game of highs. Plus it has the least forward momentum of any campaign and burst momentum options are just so good. Plague of Shadows is really fun and experimental, but the way PK interacts with stages feels a lot more flexible due to the arcana variations. Level design feels a LOT less important due to that, and just potion spamming feels like a viable option way too often. Absolutely adorable story though, probably my favorite boy. --- Doin' Game Design Vids: https://www.youtube.com/c/DesigningFor ... Copied to Clipboard! |
