Fun fact: I had no idea you could watch Treasure Knight do taxes in his own stage.
Megachamp Awesomedude yeah it's actually in the challenge stage of his level but a fun Easter egg:)
SNOMAN, YOU FORGOT TO MENTION
THERE'S A CHEAT CODE THAT MAKES THE WALL JUMP BEHAVE LIKE MEGA MAN X'S WALL JUMP INSTEAD
THAT'S HOW NEXT LEVEL THIS CAMPAIGN IS
WOW thats awesome I had no idea!
For anyone reading this and wondering what the code is, it's "C&MVRKHNT"
C&MVRKHNT

Yacht Club Games has shown more love to that franchise than Capcom has in the past decade.
Unfortunately so.
dude, that's too friggin hype.
King Knight was always a bad guy, but since this is a prequel, this takes place right as King Knight conquered the throne. "In the Halls of the King" is the song that played before/right when King Knight conquered the kingdom, and "In the Halls of the Usurper" is the song that plays after.
KirbYTP
And "In the Halls of the King" is likely the anthem of Pridemoor Keep before King Knight took over, since the Bard says that "In the Halls of the Usurper" is "The royal anthem of Pridemoor Keep, corrupted by King Knight" (Not an exact quote).
To usurp means to take illegally or to take by force.
Also, the whole stage isn't covered in gold. It's subtle, but noticeable. As Snoman said, the polish is astounishing.
Like that small room in the Iron Whale... I never noticed that one!
That small room is in one of the challenges, not the Iron Whale.
Doctor Flamingo but in Specter of Torment, King knight was already part of the order. Specter Knight was just sent to beat him up for being an awful king.
"king knights theme is happier because this is before he was a bad guy"
yeah..... about that
FOOL! he was always a shithead :D
He had the worst campaign gameplay and storywise
@@toymaster4041 you have the right to be wrong
@@ralphthejedimaster i don't need to exercise that right
@@toymaster4041 what was so bad about the shoulder bashing? Or did you just suck at Joustus?
“Later this year”
Yeah, no... King of Cards isn’t out yet
It is now
ZekieBoii
And boy is it good
@@redking36 I respect your opinion but you are wrong.
You hardly used curios? Specter Knight's curios are so friggin' strong man!
Waffletigercat Especially that Judgment Rush.
He forgot to mention that you could upgrade them, and when you do...
I feel like I'm playing as a boss fight sometimes
'Insert code that gives you all HYPER curios and infinite energy'
'Uses coin that stops time'
*'Spams projectiles'*
This is worse than BELMONT is in Smash Ultimate. XD
Waffletigercat yeah, the lantern shied one works wonders in the first half of The Enchantress stage.
2017: King Knight later this year
2019: where the F is King Knight?!?
nathan prins Yep... But what I also don't get is why choose King Knight when there are definitely better characters than King Knight... King Knight is just annoying and full of himself.
The Joustus Lord is here)
I think the backers chose which characters would get DLC campaigns, not the developers
Specter Knight they did not chose king knight, they had a dig the vote (multiple people voted for which new campaign they should add and king knight got 3rd)
Movement options? Advanced techniques? High skill? Fast pace?
What is this, Melee?
no, this is BBBRRRRRRRRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!!
No, because you don't have to rely on an unpolished game to be good
Not only does it retain the charm and polish of the previous two campaigns, but the story is much bolder in its decisions, really bringing out the hard emotions. No joke, I almost teared up at the final scene in the game.
Who is watching in 2019 and laughing at the fact he said the king knight dlc would be out later in 2017 when will still don’t have it in 2019
I'm not laughing. I'm groaning.
Hey, we're finally getting it towards the end of this year!
Jinnyfizz and it just released!
I honestly like SPector of Torment more than the main game. I just really like the new movement and progressions through levels. I also feel that the level design is a lot better this time around, cutting back on gimics and again having that great movement to make the gimics more bearable. Lastly, although the bosses are much easier I find them much more fun and the fencer boss in the graveyard, although easy was one of the most fun bosses I've ever fought. I just wish I liked the actual level more.
Dr.controverse yup agree totally!
Yeah, they're getting progressively better at level design and storytelling, but i think i liked Plague of Shadows more simply because you could experiment with the explosives and it gave you much more freedom to choose how you wanted to kill the enemies. Plus, it has alchemy, you cannot beat alchemy.
Yeah me too. I heard is was a prequil and played it first, then shovel knight, then plague knight. I then realized that plague knight is an alternate timeline so you can play it anytime.
But I just beat it an hour ago
Well, what are you waiting to go back to it?
is it free?
Purointernet yes if you beat both shovel of hope and plague of shadows
Me too. More like 3 hours ago though
I beat it a week ago......... I'm late..........
Breath of the wild had sheild surfing, Spector of Torment has sythe surfing
I love how you still had a stubble while advertising dollar shave club xD
But you kick ass, man!
Hah well if I go full clean shaven I look about 11 years old so :P
I know that feel. T_T
It's exactly the oppossite for me. If i don't shave i look like a pedo lol
Suricato de Asalto Placing that ad at the end of the video was genius.
That battle with Baz was just amazing.
On a side note, I just find it really impressive how they incorporated the kickstarter bonus contribution characters into the story as well as they did.
3:20 Did they... that's a challenge level! They can hide secrets in challenge levels?!
ShadwSonic you know it!:)
“It feels extremely satisfying pulling off a tough section perfectly”
*misses jump*
i absolutely LOVED specter, it was one of the most fun experiences ive ever had with a video game. i really need to go back and finish NG+ and the challenges though.
"King Knight's campaign is coming out this year"
If only he knew...
Yeah sad day...but it's in just a few days now!
Only free if you bought Shovel Knight before the Treasure Trove thing.
I am very surprised that you did not mention how this game explained ridiculously small details. Specter of Torment even explains ridiculously small details. Like in the ending sequence the flying swords were still being built, (in Tinker Knight's level), explaining why they were not being built, and how we don't see the ships in Propeller Knight's stage because he sent them out in the ending sequence. And how we don't have King Knight's battle in Specter of Torment in the other campaigns, because he turned the entire castle into gold. And there is so much more! Am I the only one who was noticing these tiny details.
I remember the robots being built in Tinker Knight's ending but I didnt notice the rest lol! Thats awesome
Lord Anzu there's also the dark acolyte turning into the troupple acolyte dude (who gives you the ichor flask in the original game)
There's also the dancing lady we could see as Shovel Knight in the first town, who actually ran away from the Tower of Fate because Specter didn't pay attention to her.
If You get all of those skull's to red, he takes You to the place where Donavan died and gives You his old armor and the spike thingy. Also when You rail grind with that, You actually bend over a bit since Specter uses his old weapon and when You press down, he starts dancing and when You are close to the Mimic cat, he pets it instead.
Also if You break one of those Lamps in the same room when those Knight enemies are under it he turns into a specific Knight type of the levels But if You don't stop there, the helmet breaks and reveals that it's a dragon.
And Black Knight’s turtle not being in the other campaigns because Specter hurt it too badly.
if only I don't suck at platformers man, if only.
Valksiepoo Same. Can't even get last past the first level of Mario.
you don't get good at things by not doing them
Watch someone else playing it then
You have to try. Keep trying. We were beating games harder than this in the 80s and 90s before the internet and 100% faqs. You succeed by trying.
But does he dance tho?
Since you asked,
Get the armor for 100 red skulls, and you can dance.
Desticler Nice, now I know I'm going to love the dlc when it finally comes out in Europe 😭
@Iwasneverhere Grind in front of him with the Rail Mail. Show him true edge.
Yachtclub really is an amazing developer, seeing so many projects with similar scope and budget crash and burn, this game just seems more like a miracle every day.
Can’t wait for you to talk about king knight, DECEMBERRRRRR!
I wish Yacht Club Studios would finish up the trilogy and release King Knight's campaign already, i'm already hyped up as fuck from playing through Specter Knight's and Plague Knight's campaigns.
waspennator5 Specter knight campaign isn't even out everywhere yet, calm down.
waspennator5 sure rush it out and make it suck
+Blaze Taleo Why are you assuming I want it to be rushed out, I was just saying that since King Knight's campaign was placed last on the "Campaign's to be worked on list" compared to the others.
waspennator5 well you were kind of suggesting to "get it out there quickly" (not a quote from you but just an example)
waspennator5
Quadrilogy
I absolutely ADORE Specter of Torment, and thank you for bringing up "In the Halls of the King!" I mentioned in my LP that it's actually one of my favorite music changes in SoT because it's just so damn clever!
Easily the best campaign of the three: the story was tragic but hopeful, the soundtrack has improved versions of the previous OST and the gameplay is the most fun and fast of the three; and I feel bad because I did not even had to pay for it.
Nice video, now I'm waiting for your "You Need To Play...HOLLOW KNIGHT"!
RaymanShadow same here
Excellent work as usual, dude! You hit the nail on the head: Yacht Club is doing amazing work. It'd just be nice if consumers and other aspiring indy devs alike would recognize that this game (considering the entirety of Shovel Knight and its expansions), while certainly taking inspiration from classic games, is successful because it is brilliantly designed in its own right. So many indy games bank on nostalgia and call it a day.
Something about the way Plague Knight plays clicked with me just a bit more than Specter (though it was much harder to learn), so I have a slight preference for the alchemist, but I have no complaints about Specter, and eagerly await the arrival of the King!
*later this year*
Meanwhile in december of 2019
Anybody else prefer Spectre of Torment to the main game? I love the original but I love the edginess of Spectre Knight
Ahh, you can't help but love what Yacht Club Games have done for us with this game - it's the gift that keeps on giving!!
My personal favourite little touch is how they decided since Shovel Knight breaks blocks by digging _down_ with his shovel, they made Spectre Knight break items by jumping _up_ off them - a really nice symmetry with some really interesting consequences to some of the platforming challenges
That beginning was such a contrast
I see what you did there
"later this year" he says
I agree on everything in this video...
BUT
This game lacks 2 things I would have loved to see return from the first 2 games:
All the boss battles: because this game doesn't have Shovel Knight in it (he could have been in a flashback at least), Baz is just a bunch of text boxes (and we still don't know who gave him lightning power) and the hat merchant too... although I care less about him... I guess they could have brought back the villages and the art gallery as well... especially since the second-one is haunted!
The boss rush! Because that was one of the most satisfying part of both Shovel Knight and Plague of Shadows: beating the crap out of the whole game's cast in one go.
That said, I really like how every stage brought at least 2 new gimmicks to the table, the tower race mini-game, everything about the controls, the new game + (I'm surprised you didn't talk about it! It's a really well thought concept that makes for an interesting playthrough in which going faster leaves you with more Will/Darkness to finish the level).
oh MAN I didn't even try out NG+ yet, guess I have to now :P
Just beat the game...
Dat Ending ;-;
Yes. Yes you should buy Specter of Torment. Whenever a game's story makes me cry, it becomes the game of the year to me. I rarely cry. When something makes me cry you know it's good.
Just finished it! It was amazing.
Here's a shovel knight review
It's worth it.
Plague of shadows?
It's worth it.
Spector of torment?
*starts crying.*
It's worth it.
BUT THE END MADE ME SO SAD!!!!!
the next one should be tinker knight not king knight
well i beated a normal run,Specter X run,Specter X plus run,Naked (No Health or Darkness upgrades) Specter Knight run.
The Naked Specter Knight run i broadcasted to the end to recently. harrdddd as nails.
I really do need to play it, unfortunately I bought Shovel Knight for 3DS in the UK, which means it arrives June 1st and is therefore a whole 3 months after it's release on the Nintendo Switch
Shovel knight is still the best sife scrolling platformer and i hioenit goes on to have plenty of great games and use just as much effort doing so. The dlc is great and it's free. The game is challenging and old school it's the best if it's kind and i have play a lot kn NES, SNES, N64, Xbox, PS, Mobile.
Neat! The bomb-jumping for Plague Knight admittedly turned me off, but this sounds much more engaging... though I figure I should tackle both eventually.
also cann we just talk about how FUCKING GOOD lich yard sounds in this game
Ngl I like Specter of Torment more than normal Shovel Knight, the abilities used for fast and difficult gameplay, the new boss phases, and the incredible story with an ending that ties in with the main one, it’s incredible.
I'll add one thing about the expansion that was a slight disappointment. HIs lock on dash ability, was availibe in the flash backs where Laun wasn't holding out his hand to help you move. They could had that ability be the ghost of his friend helping him through the stages, a missed opportunity.
I played the Specter Knight DLC before playing the Shovel Knight campaign.
I’ve never noticed it was your scythe you were riding on. Yacht Club games is amazing.
"King Knight is the last campaign"
Now I guess I will be forever bothered by the fact that we don't get Tinker Knight mech levels...
I’m planning to get Shovel Knight: Treasure Trove, but I want to get it on switch and I don’t have a switch yet. Waiting for this great game
good review BUT YOU FORGOT ABOUT NEW GAME+ that's the true way to play the game
Play as a brooding evil knight? Cool. Play as a brooding evil knight who used to be a nice guy and learn how he turned into what he is now? Cooler. Play as a brooding evil knight who used to be a nice guy and learn how he turned into what he is now while the world fully aknowledges and lampshades how edgy and radical he is? Awesome
Oh I would...
As soon as it releases on the European 3DS...
Wich should be any seconds now...
Aaaaaaaaaany seconds now...
I think plague of shadows was bad, sure they switched stuff up, but it felt bad to play. But Specter is great
When I played through the game i didn't know about then different outfits so I played through the whole game with the original outfit...
Specter of Torment literally redesign every stages and redesign some of the bosses entirely.
Such a great masterpiece!
Already played it. Fucking fantastic, loved the mobility.
Yacht Club is tied with Team Cherry for my favorite game developers
I'd love to play this!
If only the game was out for 3ds in europe...
HAH i wish king knight came out late 2017! Its 2019, this is dumb
About King Knight's campaign coming out later that year...
I just bought the standalone game for 10 euro on Switch.
I do NEED to play this game.
... Nintendo also needs to get its shit together and just release the 3DS update in the EU already.
My main problem is that I found almost all of the items completely useless outside of a few things.
I think King Knight is taking so long to come out because they might not be using any of the previous bosses.
Shovel Knight and Steve are the icons of the indie game community.
I'm a simple Knight. I see Specter of Torment, I sub.
Alright, Spit it out, who stole my phase locket?
*Slowly raises hand*
Plague Knight did
I beat it today. I thought I was done.
Until I saw the cool things you were doing in this video
It's amazing that it's free I would pay money for it any day
wait they stil have other stretch goals to implement into shovel knight not just a new game
ohhh, now i know why the levels were so hard... the bosses were easy now that i think about it haha
Wow Snoman, great moves keep it up, proud of you.
What if their new game is a SEQUAL!??!
I want to, but 3DS's in Europe haven't gotten it yet
# snowmaN Gaming do you think we'll learn the origins of the locket in the king knight campaign? Each seems to be going back further in time and given the locket is there in all three i get the feeling its going to be in king knights campaign in some way or another.
Adrinix you mean specter knight's locket? It is explained in this campaign bud
Yes i know Luan gave it to him but considering how ownership has changed hands many times now: Luan > Spectre Knight > Plague Knight > Shovel Knight. I'm wondering if we will learn even in some sort of passing reference as to where Luan got it. I cant recall if he said it was a family heirloom or just something he bought or whatever.
Adrinix luan said it was a family heirloom and he considered donovan family.
I bought Shovel Knight when it was on sale, but haven't played it at all yet. Assuming the DLC can be played without beating the core game, should I play everything in release order, chronological order, or what?
ChesuMori play specter of torment then plague of shadows then the original campaign
I'd say release order
ChesuMori I recommend playing plague of shadows after the original campain.
Play the original first. The other two games will feel more magical knowing all of the throwbacks and references.
Play the first campaign. It'll give u a nice context of the Shovel Knight universe and imo, is the tightest control/level design wise of the bunch.
The Notification Squad, Where Are You My Members
ahh i remember my first time playing shovel knight
Do you know how to make good levels for a platform game
Can't wait for King's Knight campaign, and hopefully Shovel Man sometime in the future. They released a poll a while ago asking what people wanted them to make next and "A Megaman" like game was one of the options. They also proposed a Mario Kart like game, which i think would kick ass, but for now a Megaman spiritual successor sounds great. Plus, Yacht Club showed they're really good at platformers and level design.
Yeah I'm all aboard the hype train for whatever they decide to do next :D
I like the Isaac snowman at the end.
You earned one sub after the first 12 seconds :)
Could have ended it at the beginning I wouldn't have complained at all
Hey, I'm knew to your channel but I love your videos! Could u plzzz make a The Legend Of Zelda: Aesthetics one?? Plzzz mate I beg ya
I mean like, Ik this is a little about aesthetic but I mean like, how the colors, concept designs of the characters and environment influence what the player feels
You should make a video about rain world.
3:20 Waaaaaaaaaaait a minute, that's a thing??? I... I keep on discovering new stuff with this game! That's just awesome! I need to find this room for myself now!
Hint: challenge
ok now we wait....
FOR KING KNIGHT
SHOVEL KNIGHT 2 WHEN
Beat it a few days back. Expected this vid to come. You ever thought of speedrunning this game? There is a lot of cool tech.
1FinalChance I bet the runs are SUPER fun, movement is top notch!
"Yacht Club Games are the best developers of all time"
That seriously explains EVERYTHING... Maybe it wouldn't have been that great as a full review to someone who didn't play the game but it is literally for some after that
And I really loved the story... enchantess is now on my numbah one of my most hated character list (Why are there only female characters on that?)
And I will probably begin with speedrunning on this game as the Gameplay feels perfectly fluid to me and it fits in everything for me what you said in your tipps for befinning to speedrun
And this game really has a sad story and I can still like every character (Not including the enchantress) in it althought they choose to follow the enchantress espiacially as I know they got kinda forced to do it and I am really hoping for something more about Polar Knight as he just seems like he is the one who would follow the enchantress the least
And Yacht Club Games showed again they can make a story in that short of a game which is just as full as a whole 2 hour movie... yet not a book that can't be done
Fun fact: if you get all the red skulls you can play as younger Spector Knight with the caltrops.
His name is Donovan
"Supposedly, we're getting the King Knight DLC later this year."
lol nope, this was released in 2017, and we're getting King Knight all the way to April 2018
2:33 shows him buying a darkness wisp.
me: uhhh you know you don't have to buy those right?
Yeah he must have missed one
i almost at the end of plague knigt!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
One year later and still no King Knight.
it looks so good...
i need to play it all again.
first video i watched after i completed it
Will King knight be coming to 3ds?
