About Shovel Knight
Shovel Knight is an action-adventure game in which you play as a small warrior on a quest to defeat the Enchantress and find his lost beloved. He wields a Shovel Blade, using it to fight enemies and dig for treasure. The Order of No Quarter, a group of villainous knights, stands between him and the Enchantress.
Explore and fight
You flip enemies, leap over gaps, duel foes, uncover secrets and upgrade your equipment. The Overworld Map lets you take on the quest in a unique order. You can collect riches to improve your armor and weapons, then revisit the adventure in New Game+ to uncover more of the world's secrets.
The game combines an 8-bit-inspired design, art and audio with detailed animation, multilayered parallax backgrounds and other modern touches. Its narrative uses humor and levity, and the adventure features characters and bosses across a world with secrets to find.
Game modes
Shovel of Hope can be played as a fully cooperative adventure with a friend. Challenge Mode adds dozens of challenges, while Body Swap lets you choose character genders for the main characters, with new designs for them.
The soundtrack is by Jake "Virt" Kaufman, with additional songs by Manami Matsumae.
