King Knight's unique mechanics are fun enough to keep me invested and the Heirlooms are EXTREMELY fun to use.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
13 of 79 sampled reviews raised it
With new types of attacks and traversal tools, great world-building, and a new slant on the existing story, if you have enjoyed the Plague of Shadows and Specter of Torment DLC, this is another fantastic, full-length Shovel Knight game.
