It's interesting how well Plague Knight's campaign turned out, considering they both failed to uphold his name by scrapping the plague elements from his repertoir, and to even implement actual alchemy into his gameplay because the system was just too complicated. I love him as he is, but it's noteworthy that both his name and character concept had to be ignored in his gameplay for practical reasons.

He'd definitely be called Burst Knight or Bomb Knight if they could revise that.

>>375734172
Wait, is that why she leaves? I thought it was because she thought he was just using her.

>>375734317
he's called plague knight because he figuratively plagues people with his alchemy anon

It's really good. I wish we still got a boss rush though.

>>375734441
That's a nice save but they did flat-out admit somewhere that he was supposed to have more to do with plagues and germs when they first came up with him.

Do we agree that it's not as good as Plague of Shadows, though? Like sure, it had new levels, but going solely by the quality of the content I'd say:
Plague of Shadows > Specter of Torment > Base game

Specter was just somewhat generic in a lot of regards and felt like 'more of the same' to me. Plague of Shadows was much better than the main game and had a much higher focus on movement abilities, which was fucking rad.

>>375734590
>No Plag/u/e of Shadows
Why live

>>375734970
Mechanically speaking I would rate Specter above Plague, actually, although I like Plague better due to the whole chaos and confusion of his playstyle making boss battles really fun. Specter began as a generic, uninteresting campaign but it picked up at some point around the middle

>>375734572
yeah, it's a pain

is there any way to avoid the inconvenient treasure chest aside from jumping over the beetle and opening it first?

>>375735473
just jump over the chest after you open it, turn around, and slash the beetle through the chest
the beetle doesn't change direction if you hit it from the opposite direction

>>375728392
It wasn't until Specter that I began to appreciate the amount of work put in to the boss fights. They have very diverse movesets. It's too bad they're so easy to cheese, especially in Shovel of Hope.

>>375734970
>Do we agree that it's not as good as Plague of Shadows
Absolutely. The campaign was shorter and fighting regular enemies wasn't as engaging as with Shovel and Plague, who encourage creativity. The level design also feels very constrained most of the time.
Final boss was a complete disappointment as well.

The wall has been segmented. ALWAYS be suspicious of segmented walls.

It's honestly shocking how much better both Specter and Plague are than Shovel Knight's campaign. Going back to him feels so sluggish and uninspired. Plague should have been their mascot character, now they're stuck with that comparatively boring generic platformer hero and his wooden moveset without the mobility and creativity of the playable boss knights.

Plague of Shadows' final boss wasn't all that hot either, though. I liked the boss rush in the previous level better

>>375736703
Shovel Knight is a perfectly functional platformer campaign that came as an island in a vast sea of lackluster retro-inspired games. It needed to happen, so they would have a good foundation to build the rest upon. Just because they managed to surpass what was already a great game doesn't mean it retroactively takes merit away from the base product, yes?

So what's the point of that smaller mirror on the top area of Specter Knight's base? I always assumed it'd lead to something secret or important but I finished the game and nothing happened.

...This game was too easy. I played Specter of Torment entirely without ever using the healing item, and managed to get 100% in 6 hours. I can't imagine how easy this would've been with the added ability to just heal whenever the fuck you need to.

>>375738595
I honestly don't know how superhumans like you exist. I died 300 times as Specter Knight, with the healing item and the armor that negates instant death.

Why are the control so shit in Shovel of Hope? I don't see why everyone praises this "retro" game, the 80s/90s games were NOT about instant death traps and shit controls. It feels like SK misses a frame or two when jumping or in mid air. I can't even sloth through this mess in hopes of PK or SK controlling better.

First of all, pic related
Second, almost everything that gives you trouble except for possibly pits can be instantly circumvented by the use of the invincibility locket. Only Propeller Knight's stage is an absolute hell of instant death pits.

>When still think Shovel Knight had the best campaign
I don't know if it's because it was my first time playing but it felt more challenging and the bosses aren't pushovers like they are in the expansions.

>>375739438
I agree, but I'm thinking with his usual "bad guy" voice, more Lex Luthor than Mr. Krabs.

Danny DeVito for Mole Knight.

>>375739443
I can tell you from talking to Yacht Club employees at gaming conventions he was absolutely miserable to work with and they said next time around they'd be like "nah fuck off we do what we want"

>>375739574
I imagined more like Hades in God of War. Treasure Knight sounds like the guy who'd have a gruff tone.

Funny, I imagine Mole Knight with Richard Horvitz' voice. Not much Zim but rather more Daget or Raz.

I just hope they aren't too bummed about having been trapped within Shovel Knight for 3 more years due to the boss campaigns. The uneven update schedule for Treasure Trove has really seen them getting a lot of flak, too, even though that's all out of their hands.

>>375740893
Those three were upgrades, everything else is a sidegrade.

King Knight's is the only track that feels like a direct downgrade. I get the impression Jake didn't really know what to do to make the track different so he just changed it to a major key.

>>375741312
King Knight as the vs. mode are the only things they're obligated to release at this point, and they say they plan on having both out before the end of this year. They already said King Knight's campaign is gonna have its scale dialed back from both Plague and Specter.

Another thing they said back in interviews was that they didn't want to become the people who "just make shovel knight," which says to me that their next project is gonna be a completely new IP.

>>375738684
I don't even think I'm that good, though I had some practice playing a few different platformers and metroidvanias lately.

>>375738924
I liked it but I don't want to play the same game again. Especially since we'll get King Knight campaign eventually.

>>375739067
>10/10 gameplay
7/10 at best. Very generic and a very solid base, but really not that special at all.

>pandemonium cloak
It was really fun, at least. They should buff it though to give it some sort of advantage. Like five bombs at once, maybe?

>>375741558
>They already said King Knight's campaign is gonna have its scale dialed back from both Plague and Specter.
Source? I remember them saying Specter and King were going to be dialed back from Plague, but Specter ended up being a brand new game altogether.

Am I the only one who isn't liking Plauge as much as Shovel?

>>375739419
So sorry from Undertale seemed happy about his cuckening at first too. It's to save face.

>>375741349
IIRC Jake changed King Knight's theme to a major key as a joke at the expense of Yacht Club, who were sick to death of the original song.

>>375741703
>present tense

You'll get used to him.

>>375741679
I only remember reading that, I don't really recall when or where. Sorry.

But yeah, it was probably long enough ago for plans to have changed. The only reason I think that King Knight's going to be dialed back still is because they intend to have the campaign out this year.

>>375741703
His controls exist to punish you for not mastering them, until you master them.

>>375741783
Makes sense. King Knight's theme was the first one that was finalized and it was the song that played in all of the pre-release demos. They probably spent a solid year listening to that song every single day for hours on end.

>>375741703
You're not the only one. A lot of people like him the most, but PoS is a very love-it-or-hate-it kind of game.

>>375741703
Once you figure out the ideal "order" to perform his movement actions, he becomes a lot more likable.

It's throw > burst > throw > jump > burst >throw

that gives you maximum air time and air control

if you cant git gud just use the float burst, that's what it's for

>>375741703
You can keep yourself in the air indefinitely by Burst -> 2 Bombs -> Burst -> 2 Bombs (repeat). You can trivialize the entire game using this method

I hope once Shovel Knight is 100% done, Yacht Club makes a Shovel Knight Maker or something.

I'm just about to start at the last two order stages. I'm using a 3DS so it's hard to burst and stuff but it gives me the ability to change bombs without having to pause.

Right now I'm pretty much using the basic bomb and alternating between arc and lob casting. I really haven't found a use for any other ones except for cascade and combination. I'm using float as I don't see the need to use any other.

>>375742661
The majority of people who are actually passionate about games are often blinded by their dick, usually because most people who play games are thirsty virgins. For them, it turns a 5/10 or a 6/10 into an 8/10.

>Mighty No. 9 was a scam

No, it was completely legitimate.

Inafune is just that much of a retard.

>>375742697
A lot of the bombs can be useful if you use good combinations. For example. Sparkler+Impact is broken as fuck because Impact Fuse completely negates the downsides of Sparkler Powder, and the wide explosion radius and occasional double hits tear through everything.

>>375729928

Well I pirated the gog version, liked the base game so I bought it off steam.

Specter Knight definitely feels way easier than the other two.

But the NG+ is basically timed which makes it the hardest as far as I'm concerned.

>>375741109
ehhhhhhh
Its a mixed bag.
The base game keeps getting more expensive
Plague of shadows were just the vanilla maps expanded with some new areas.
They are really slow at making the dlc(maybe because they develope for like 10 different platforms?).
They suck Nintendo's dick too hard
Theres a small despair feeling they are only working on shovel knight instead of creating new exciting ideas.

>>375729273
It seems like he plays the same as shovel knight

Lost all my save data, is there seriously no way to start as spectre knight? Put in the code that unlocks everything and still can only play as shovelman

>>375746109
I really liked having to balance health, magic, and time all on one bar. Hits taken knocking a big chunk out of the Darkness bar turned the whole thing into balancing how much magic I was using, how much time I was taking, and how recklessly i was playing. Easily my favorite of the three NG+.

>>375739067
Plague Knight is great once you have a lot of different bomb upgrades. But yea, I feel like a lot of the times Plague Knight hardly fits into the levels.

>>375746627
The devs said it feels like a mix of all the knights thus far into one. Replied to a tweet of mine and said in an obscure yt interview.

Has a pogo like sk
Has dash like plague
Has jumping slash and wall stick like spctre

All they said

>>375747243
Plague Knight's movement is just too crazy for levels designed for the vastly more limited Shovel Knight.
Levels designed for Plague Knight would have to be more longer and have more aerial threats

>>375742101
Float burst just felt so much better than every other available option.
The one that launches icicles down on your jump arc sounded promising, but there aren't many situations where the damn thing is actually useful. Meanwhile, gentle floating always is
