Shovel Knight Showdown is a platform fighting game set in a world of never-ending battle, created by a magical catastrophe. You play as heroes and villains from the Shovel Knight saga, fighting to discover the source of the disaster and set things right. The game includes single-player and local multiplayer modes, along with character-specific stories, practice and target modes, and battle customizations.

Characters and story

Choose from more than 16 playable characters, including Shovel Knight, Shield Knight, Black Knight, The Enchantress and all the Knights of the Order of No Quarter. Each character has a unique story. In Story Mode, your chosen hero faces a rival, fights through scores of opponents, takes part in minigames and reaches an all-new final encounter.

Battle modes

You can duel one-on-one or compete in four-player free-for-alls against local challengers in modes including Gem Clash and Showdown. Co-op team battles let you and a friend fight AI opponents or each other, creating duos from the game's cast. You can also play as a character alone or with a friend in co-op battles, face powerful rivals and work toward the final encounter.

Stages and practice

Fights take place on stages inspired by characters and locations from Shovel Knight, as well as new locations. Practice mode lets you work on your moves, while Target mode challenges you to hone your skills. Battle customization options let you adjust your matches, and treacherous feats provide additional challenges.
