      It pretty much is one already, just not in the traditional sense. It has a nice story and likable characters, that's all you really need in a Role-playing game. It's like Legend of Zelda but with platforming.
      I think adding way more items, characters, choices, story, and dialogue to make the game feel deeper with a richer storyline would make a great sequel. Remove the platforming gameplay and it just wouldn't be Shovel Knight anymore, though. That has to stay.

    • @Nedoxu
      @Nedoxu 10 років тому +66

      thegreatestpepe ... shovel knight is an action platformer.
      In no way is the story in depth enough to call it an RPG, nor does it really have any of the traditional RPG elements at all. That's like calling the new Call of Duty an RPG because it has a decent story. there's no correlation, man.

    • @thegreatestpepe
      @thegreatestpepe 10 років тому +19

      Nedoxu . Is there any difference between Shovel Knight and LoZ other than the viewing angle? LoZ is an RPG, right? They both have items, progression, memorable characters with personality, dialogue, towns, optional side quests, and so on. CoD doesn't really have any of that other than a story and characters, and CoD characters are HARDLY memorable. I've played most of them and I don't recall a SINGLE character's name other than the dude named "Mason".

    • @Nedoxu
      @Nedoxu 10 років тому +48

      thegreatestpepe well... Legend of Zelda is not an rpg either. It's a puzzle action adventure. the items you get are predetermined or bought, and are generally not the kinda items you'd get in an RPG. RPG items are like "a better sword" or etc... and no I wouldn't count the master sword. Don't get me wrong, I love both Zelda and Shovel Knight. I just wouldn't ever qualify them as RPGs. without referring to JRPGs, you have games like Dead Island. That's an RPG, because of all the items and the leveling up and the skill system

    • @Kanakotka
      @Kanakotka 10 років тому +12

      Nedoxu .
      You don't need the depth of story to call anything an RPG. Vast majority of JRPGs are a proof of that, with story much more function than form.
      However, the thing that makes a notable difference between RPGs and cames that use RPG elements is the amount of dialogue as compared to other game genres. You cannot make an RPG that's light on dialogue, however RPGs that are, are usually called ActionRPGs. Secret of Mana is a very good example of this.
      The gameplay could be anything from platformer (Legend of Zelda 2), to first person shooter (Fallout 3 & New Vegas), and it wouldn't disqualify it from being an RPG.

    There are many indie games with those old-school graphics that are simply lazy, they use 8-bit graphics as a excuse to not work hard on the presentation and make cheap assets, and the rest of the game, like the gameplay and level design, is not good either, and also, these retro games don't actually look retro, it's a mix of stuff uglier than the actual 80s and 90s games, and stuff that older consoles don't have the power to run, the game doesn't feel nostalgic at all, overall, these games don't have the same care and effort that classic games had, these games are not a homage to the classics, they are a disgrace to the classics.
    But Shovel Knight, is not one of these, this is a NES-style game that is worthy of the NES classics, if they released that game in 1989, Shovel Knight would stand as one of the greatest videogames of that era.

    I came to a *ridiculous* realization about Shovel Knight when I was thinking about how the game canon fit together (as I tend to do with games).
    Not only was Shovel Knight the best without half of the team he'd based his entire fighting style around, he was the best when he hadn't even practiced during the entire rise of civilization. In the opening of the game it mentions that the lands were untamed when last he went adventuring, which means *all of civilization* emerged between when he quit adventuring and the games opening.
    Imagine trying to enter a partners competition without the person you'd spent all of your time working with. Now imagine trying to do it from memory when you hadn't done the routine in 80 years at least. Now imagine that it's life or death fighting, under conditions that you don't know about coming in.
    Under those conditions, Shovel Knight was *still* the best. I think he might be one of the most badass heroes to ever come out of gaming. Like, seriously.

    There isn't a sequel
    Shovel Knight isn't in Smash
    It's so good that I haven't been productive in months
    To the five (probably less) of you who hate Shovel Knight, here is what I say:
    It's Shovel Knight. Your argument is invalid.

    Every villain his enemy
    Love and courage his driving force.
    The metal spade in his hand sharp
    His determination is unwavering
    Yet behind his grim façade a heart in pain.
    Shield maiden missing from his side
    Hurts him to remember
    Only one thing left to do
    Villains smite! People save!
    Every crime shall be avenged!
    Living in our hearts forever! THE SHOVEL KNIGHT, HERO OF THE REALM!

      +FensterH The Kickstarter was successful enough to add (at least) three additional campaigns where you play as boss characters. We've already seen the first: Plague of Shadows, where you play as Plague Knight (duh lol). The second will be Specter Knight, and the third remains undecided (I believe it's down to Treasure Knight or King Knight).
      After that, there are rumors we could see a playable Shield Knight; perhaps in the co-op mode the Wii U Amiibo provides access to.

    Sometimes when i want to chill, i go to the Bard, make him play this song, then proceed to "dance" along with it, jumping on high notes and crouching on lower notes. It is more amusing than i'd thought it to be.

      When you say 'crouch' you mean 'squat down one pixel'

    _(Glory awaits)_
    You will hear me holler!
    _(Danger’s getting big)_
    I’ll be standing taller!
    _(Go on your way)_
    I’ll prove my worth!
    _(Baby, can you dig?)_
    Time to strike the earth!

    _(Baby, can you dig?)_
    Time to strike the earth!
    We will ride
    We will honor the code of the knight
    Shovel by my side
    Face the order
    I will never yield, though they give no quarter
    Thanks to my supporters!

    We will honor the code of the knight
    Shovel by my side
    And though this land
    Has fallen under the rule of the one who enchants
    I will make my stand!
    Though on this quest
    I know I’ll toil
    _(You will toil)_
    I’ll do my best
    Dig through the soil
    _(Through the soil)_
    This I swear, I will never yield,
    Defend the bearer of the shield
    And adventure to lands that go
    Far beyond this field
    _(Glory awaits)_
    You will hear me holler!

    _(Go on your way)_
    I’ll prove my worth!
    _(Baby, can you dig?)_
    Time to strike the earth!
    Do my part
    You will see that within me is a noble heart
    Send me off with a kickstart
    And there is more
    Stretch out your arms to open a brand new door!
    Discover what’s in store!
    _(Glory awaits)_
    You will hear me holler!
    _(Danger’s getting big)_
    I’ll be standing taller!
    _(Go on your way)_

    _(Baby, can you dig?)_
    Time to strike the earth!
    Let it ring
    My adventures will stand
    Among doctors and specters and kings!
    But I still will sing!
    Give my very best
    For if there’s a challenge to face,
    I will take that test
    I will be your guest
    _(Glory awaits)_
    You will hear me holler!

    I feel like there's a certain art to first level themes. They have to not only get you pumped for the beginning of the game, but also set the tone for the rest of it. Megaman X's highway theme is a beautiful example of this. And now so is Strike The Earth =3 I'd like to submit Voyager from Hotline Miami 2, bu I understand if some don't feel that one fully counts.

    I have not heard modern retro music this good since Slayin on the App Store. Up until this, I thought that was the only game that payed tribute to the old days in the right way; especially with its music. Well, it is not the best, but I thought it had pretty good music. Still wish it would get a damn Play Store release already.

    But, this is pretty damn awesome; might finally purchase this game after having watching it for the longest time now. I was hesitant because normally, well these games do have novelty, like any old-school game they tend to grow boring after a while. But, this game looks like something fresh and unforgettable. Perhaps, it will not be too late for this game to sate.

    • @Medachod
      @Medachod 9 років тому

      Bl Scott Well, that was not exactly aiming at being as retro as this was. This game used the NES color palette which limited textures significantly, well Scott Pilgrim is just an extremely colorful 2D adventure that had no limits to what it could do in that department and looks extremely colorful and enticing. But, the experience is a bit overwhelming to be considered a retro adventure like this.
