Shovel Knight

A game reminiscent of retro Mega Man, Castlevania, and Legend of Zelda franchises. Also the very first video game from indie development studio Yacht Club Games .

Compared to other popular (and mildly controversial) indie games such as Undertale, its fanbase is a bit small, but it's still a hit among experienced gamers looking for a fresh batch of nostalgia. It's described as a sweeping action adventure game with breathtaking gameplay and unforgettably unique characters.

The lead character, Shovel Knight, is a bit of an oddity among heroes, brandishing a shovel as a weapon instead of swords or bows. One thing's for sure; he's come far in the gaming world, having been nominated for several awards (including the BAFTA Games Award for Debut Games) and named a 'modern classic'.

Seems everyone else is playing Undertale these days. Have they never heard of Shovel Knight before?
